I believe there’s also one with the palm trees from the beach towel I posted up above, I just didn’t have a photo for it.
Sea Glass
My friend Abby Zweifel (previously mentioned her as Abby Henderson – Congrats Ben and Abby) designed a stripe for our spring theme “Sea Glass”. She is the original artist on this group, but I got to do the application of her art to the product shapes so I thought I’d post the group shot.
I did technically create the art for this one piece, but it’s a polka dot so not too intensive haha. But look-y it’s a glittery juice cup!
Embellished Juice Cup
That’s all for now, thanks for stopping in!
Already back to Spring again! I think that this years Palm Island program came out nicely. I enjoyed working on these prints and I think I managed to take them to level higher than last years (the first project I did in house at Bealls – Palm Island 2011) These should be in stores now, and check back because I may add more images to this post as they become available to me. :)
Totes – So I created or worked on the prints that went on these tote bags and the Missy team did a great job of designing them with updated trimming and lining. I really think it adds a nice touch!

So just like last year, some of the artwork I did for Palm Island got put onto other items like Tees. Even though I didn’t place the artwork in the arranged designs (I believe my friend Angie did some of that!), the original drawing/prints were created by me. Shows we really have a team effort around the office though!

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.

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

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!

Citrus Candy Stripe
12 Can Coolers

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:
2 Bottle Wine Tote
Folding Basket
Picnic Basket
Coir mats (outdoor coconut mats) are now in stores, and they’re really reasonably priced too.
Island Oasis (Hank)
Umbrella Beach

Sea Turtle Currents
Beach Walk

And more Hank (Island Oasis Candle):
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.

Tropix is Bealls’ outdoor brand for Home. This first group is called Island Oasis and the parrot I drew for it was affectionately nick-named Hank around the office. So look for Hank in our brand new spring program in stores now. ;) Also, just a note – the colors on the web are looking kind of yucky. It could just be my monitor, but these are definitely more pure and vibrant in real life.

The Island Oasis group went along with 2 other color coordinated themes, Oasis Stripe and Splish Splash. My good friend and college classmate from Ringling, Abby Henderson created the super cute Splish Splash group!
Splish Splash – Dinner Plate
This second group was one I actually worked on over a year ago as a freelancer. It was my first project for Bealls’ Home division. My now co-worker Lenny Brinetti actually drew the original flowers for this art group, and I was responsible for taking the print and placing the art on all the items. I had to create different options with placement and trim, as well as design how the sculptural ceramic pieces would look. It’s called Tropical Gardens and is still in stores.
