I was lucky enough to be asked, by Gordie’s friend Felix, to design the commemorative poster for Gordie’s Howe’s 80th birthday. I can’t tell you how honored I am to be a small part of celebrating the birthday of the greatest professional hockey player of all time.
NOW AVAILABLE. 8×10 prints of the art at Mrhockey.com
Happy Birthday Mr. Hockey. May you have many, many more.
It’s spring time in Michigan so of course it snowed today. I thought I’d post an illustration that reminded me of the good times to come. The crack of a baseball bat, The smell of a bbq grill. It won’t be long now.
Good day sunshine! It appears that Sir Paul McCartney has been blessed with a sensible judge to preside over his divorce proceedings. In honor of that, I’ve decided to post a caricature and free wallpaper of Paul. This illustration depicts him at a happier time, doing what he does best. I hope helps erase the images of him coming out of divorce court room.
I couldn’t resist doing at least one,”viewer participation” political cartoon. The presidential race has all the drama, he said-she said makings of a made for TV movie. This cartoon was inspired by Hillary’s “I’ll answer the phone at 3:00am” TV spot.
So what if she becomes the next president? What if Barak is the VP. Will she forward her phone at night to the Obama household after the fist month? Maybe you would want her to?
Fill in the blank in my comments and I’ll post the best line on the actual cartoon.
I thought I’d post a piece from my sketch book today. I’ve been blessed with an abundance of work lately so I haven’t had much time to post more finished pieces. Everything I am doing is client specific or is in production. In the next few weeks I’ll be posting a book cover , some NHL related posters, a tshirt for a racing magazine and some other fun things that I’ve created but aren’t ready for public consumption yet, so check back to see.
For the past seven years or so I’ve been responsible for branding Safety Solutions. They’re a premiere, award winning racing safety equipment company. This past sunday Analyst Jeff Hammond featured their newest NASCAR approved Head & Neck Restraint during the race. It’s called the “Hutchens Hybrid.” I designed the logo for that Safety Solutions product as well as all of there other products.
While it was nice to see my design on their product, it was equally as great for me to see a company as dedicated as Safety Solutions get some much deserved respect on TV. Lord knows there are forces out there that hate to see that happen.
When I’m not creating caricatures and other fun illustrations, I work as a graphic designer and illustrator in the automotive safety and racing safety industry. It never gets old seeing something I’ve designed and developed in my studio on the tube, especially when it’s unexpected. I think the coolest moment, next to seeing a car I designed in the Daytona 500, was the “In car” shot of Tony Stewart after he won the Brickyard. The biggest thing on the TV screen was the logo on his driver net, that I designed. That was a cool moment.

The NBA season is getting intense and no one is a more intense Los Angels Laker fan than Jack. He is the Big Guns on the side line.
I just started illustrating this way not long ago.” leaving the pencil lines in my finished digital art.” Especially with this piece, I like the way the quickness of the lines adds the the overall energy of the illustration.
Let the games begin. “Who needs Shaq? We’ve got Jack!!! Bring it.

This past weekend I entertained at a promotional event by creating quick caricature sketches. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to draw David Allen Grier, from the ground breaking TV show “In Living Color”, while at the event. David was great to talk to, reminiscing about the old days in Detroit, taking time with all of his fans that stopped by. I have several pictures of him from the event but am working on permission to post them before I do.
For the time being, here are some photos that I can post so you can see my quick sketch style.

Like the rest of the world, I’m a big Dale Earnhardt jr fan. I created this caricature of Dale jr as a self promotional piece to present to NASCAR related publications, web sites. In this illustration I am trying to capture an exaggerated attitude, ala’ AMP Energy Drink.
