To give this restaurant a unique entrance wall I handcrafted the company name using letters made from 124 gnocchi boards previously utilized to make their signature pastas. This approach produced both a great earthy worn look, and upheld a great bit of symbolism. I hand painted the background logo and arched type to complete the look.

This illustration was created to grace the cover of Market Districts monthly newsletter. The hamburger and shake where both hand drawn with pencil. I then scanned, cropped, and placed those drawings in Photoshop were I digitally added color and some final touches.

I always like to create my own reference material whenever applicable, and this is design is no exception. The bike image was created using a picture of my own, and the bike tread was created by running a mountain bike tire coated with ink over a long sheet of paper.  After some designing/editing in Illustrator and Photoshop this is the finished result.

Created in Photoshop to be used as a Facebook cover photo and banner for the bar/club the Blacklight District.

This illustration was made on a full size fully functional surfboard.

The finished product hung from the ceiling over a display of stacked cases of the water.
