Travel sketchbooks
I always travel with a sketchbooks, some watercolors and pencils.
Sketching outdoors can be challenging and especially in India, where you tend to attract large crowds of children. I thought they were fascinated by seeing what I was drawing, but just as interesting to them was to watch someone draw with their left hand.
Illustration
I currently live in Portland Oregon. As part of being a designer, sometimes it’s more interesting and engaging to use illustration to tell a story. The work shown here is a sampling of illustrations I was commissioned to do for advertising, editorial and education.
The illustration method ranges from digital to using ancient drawing methods such as applying wet pigments to paper and drawing using things called pencils.
For those of you familiar with ancient writing tools, they were made of wood and contained small cylinders of poisonous lead.
Photography
I always carry a small pocket camera where ever I travel. They are easy to carry and unobtrusive.
I focus a lot on vernacular graphic design, architecture and unusual activities. But mostly I like to use it to share places with friends and family.
