Roadrunner©

Here is the other version of the Roadrunner mascot.

CHC Roadrunner ©

This was a character, which I was hoping to be the new mascot to the college I was attending, Crafton Hills. It didn't turn out that way, and I did a couple designs. This was the first one. Tomorrow I'll post the second one that was more streamlined. I never named him, or her, so if you think of something let me know.

Activity Book©

This was another school project, to design a new look for The Orange Empire Railroad Museum in California. The project not only called for a new logo design, but a marketing scheme that involved little extras you would receive upon your arrival. I decided to take the route of child amusement, as I thought increasing interest with the young ones is always important when promoting a museum or theme parks. This was more or less my first go at layout and color design for this particular project, but I thought it turned out OK.

Junebug

This was an image I designed for a line of stamps, or stamp art called Junebug Stamps. I developed numerous characters based on the concept of a bunch of Junebugs in various humorous situations or poses.

Which reminds me
I do enjoy movies and I like a good quote, especially if they're funny. 'We have a blind date with destiny... and it looks like she ordered the lobster'-The Shoveller Mystery Men (1999)

Caricatures

I thought I would post this because it shows my ability to develop characters from real people. In fact, I did quite a lot of this early on trying to develop a style. This was one of the last ones that I did of a niece and one of her old friend.

Day Care Design

I did this design for a local daycare that needed illustrations for fliers, business cards, etc. kinda quirky, but they were looking for something child-friendly, yet conveyed the ability to cater to a diverse population.

Moose

Here is a glance of Moose, something I was developing at school for a packaging project for Moose Munchies. He also has a complex back story... LOL

We Are Different, You and Me!

This is a story of Frog, Bear, and Crow! And how they are different, but they learn to be great friends!!

Here is another sketch, "the box". I'm gonna try to get a new piece of material every day, or every other day. Hopefully to keep yall watching for new items or graphics. I'd tell you what this one is all about but I'm sworn to secrecy.

New books in the works

As well as doing a sequel to "We are different you and me" I am also working on two other children's books that I am authoring and illustrating myself. I will keep you posted on those projects as well.

Billy

I'm going to start publishing some sketches and rough idea to give you an idea of how I work and things that I like to draw. As well as doing illustrations for books, I do caricatures, logos and graphic design. I also paint, which at times enters the realm of the abstract. I am very enthusiastic about the creative process, and enjoy turning a client's idea into a reality. I will eventually have samples on this site of all the different things I like to do. I hope you enjoy them.

Working on new book soon...

Book #2 of the Frog, Crow, and Bear will be starting soon!!
