A New Season of Grace…

December 30, 2011 in Graphic Design, Professional | Tags: christian, digital, promotional, web | Leave a comment

So I’m really excited about a lot of the new design work I’ve been getting to do for church lately. We have a new Lead Pastor (as you’ll see below), who has wonderful vision and passion! I’ve been helping out with the promotion materials to get the word out and I wanted to share what I’ve been working on. :D

These items were made by our vendors in addition to all of the ones that I designed above. Meaning they took my original art and interpreted it on the items for us. For example the hand-painted ornaments have a bit of a different feel from my original art simply because they are a hand-painted interpretation on a round surface.

Harvest Coir Mats & Ultra Soft Throw

October 8, 2011 in Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: Bealls, digital, pattern | Leave a comment

So I finally have some new things coming out for the fall and holiday season in stores! Today I’m just going to show off the fall coir mats I designed. I picked the palette and presented them all on my own to the merchants last year, and I’m quite pleased with the way they turned out. :) The internet doesn’t really do the colors justice though, so check them out when your in the store!

Patchwork Harvest

Harvest Pumpkin

Harvest Leaves

Oh, and something I wasn’t expecting to see is our new Ultra Soft Throws for Palm Island Home. I didn’t work on the product development for this, but one of them featured an animal print I did back when I was freelancing. Neat!

Tropix Beach Mats

May 24, 2011 in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

And back to Home world…I’m so glad these are on the website now. I’ve been waiting to post these beach mats I designed. Which come to think of it, I drew the flat for also. Though it was just based on last years product shape, I still had to call out the specs on my own since the vendors just applied the art themselves in the past. :) So these match some of the other themes I’ve been posting for Spring 2011 in Tropix.

Seaside Stripe

Seaturtle Currents

Paradise Flamingo

Nue Options Skirt!

Sometimes artwork doesn’t get used right away for one reason or another, but it can always be brought back to life. That’s why some of my items are a surprise even for me to see coming out in stores, but a fun surprise! I loved this print too, it’s called “Pepper Tree.” The neat thing about this pretty tiered skirt is that I also drew the flat, which is not usually part of my job description. I worked on this before I became the full-time Home artist. And it was featured in the recent May 1st Mother’s Day ad! Ok sorry for all the bragging.

Palm Island Hats & Tropix Coolers

April 16, 2011 in Graphic Design, Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: animals, beach, Bealls, digital, pattern, print, spot illustrations, tropical | 1 comment

Remember the Palm Island Tote bags, flip flops, beach towels and tees? Well here are some baseball caps with embroidered icons that I created to go along with them.

Mosaical Fish

Anchorific

Sand Dollar

Leaf Medallion

Palm Avenue

They used some of the new stripes I did for beach towels this year for coolers as well. I think they turned out really cute, some don’t even look like like coolers but more like hand bags!

Lunch Totes

Seaside Stripe

Citrus Candy Stripe

12 Can Coolers

Rolling Cooler

One of the other neat parts about my job is that I sometimes get to help in the photo studio when we need to create photo packaging for our products. Now the photographers and stylists are doing the real work in taking the photos, but I got to help art direct the look and feel for the group of items below. The stripe on the bag was not my artwork, but if you went in stores to buy any of the Oasis Stripe coolers, you’d find that I designed the lovely packaging. :) Here are some examples of the photos:

The Missy team also used my art from the Palm Island hand bags for t-shirts, so that was a fun surprise to see in store. So they took the original icons/elements that I drew and arranged them into t-shirt designs.
