Poster designed for the Orlando Opera. Snagged this at a paper show. Asian influence in the design is so elegant and fluid, the circles are soothing as well.

Pencil Power - Mermaid

"Pencil Power"      (all illustrations are original and retain copyright)

The pencil is a powerful tool. So simple in nature and easy to use, so readily available. It allows ideas to happen almost instantly. It is a natural extension of the hand or mind for that matter.

I carry a pencil everywhere I go. I scribble on whatever is in reach when the thought comes. I've been told not to save, hoard, and store all of this genius. So in the freedom of free play I invite you to the yard for a lil show n' tell. -Kip Williams

"Mermaid"  Swim School

This concept art was for a North Central Florida swim school owned and operated by a live mermaid. 

The illustration was designed to reflect the owner's past history as a mermaid and involvement in Weeki Wachee a theme park in Spring Hill, Florida. Home of the world famous live mermaid show.

by: Steff Geissbuhler

Grabbed this one at an Atlanta AIGA when I saw Steff speak. He shared about what makes a great mark. I was particularly curious in hearing his thoughts since his work was a case study in one of my first design books ever owned. Definitely a keeper, the poster that is.

Done for Alta Printing

A great print shop in Gainseville Florida, one that I've used on many occasions produced this poster. I like  the fact that the art looks like an original pen and ink piece and on the back of this one is the Alta newsletter on heavy stock. It's a keeper people!

Vote Series

Voting is to die for. Impacting. Desperate. I believe that we take the right to vote for granted here in the states and in other parts of the world people are still fighting for their right to vote and be heard. When is the last time you went to the polls? Did you understand what you were voting for, and the sacrifices that were made for that privilege?

Tymn Armstrong

My good buddy Tymn did a stellar job designing this poster to promote the ebook done for Space Dog Design. The ebook of Treasure Island took the good ole favorite and spun it into an ebook for the new kids on the block. I like the silver and gold ink on this solid black paper, so excited when I got my copy in the mail. Thanks Tymn.

"Powered by the Tongue"  Pinnacle Magazine

This concept art was for the cover story for Pinnacle Magazine for Shepherd Center. 

The illustration was to communicate (no pun intended) with the tongue to objects that they couldn't control other wise. A sensor would be put in the tongue and the user would touch various teeth to perform tasks. Controlling lights, television, wheel chair, or a even a computer.

The tongue being the most powerful muscle in the body I'd say that this is genius!

The Red Creeper is based on a HG Wells' novel War of the Worlds. Simple, I like the light red ink on the red paper and the floral art is great. Karen taught me how to silk screen when I visited Lure Design in Orlando. 
Thanks Karen!

"Dr. Deadline" ADDY Show 2005

He's here to save the day! Or better yet, the deadline. If you are in the Advertising world you know well that a super hero in our industry would definitely keep the deadline in check. However, we all know that super heroes aren't real and client's personal agendas are.

This fictional (yet dreamy) character was invented as part of a cast for the local Addy Awards in Ocala, FL. The other cast were "Miss Print" and "Captain Creative."  The entire show was a comic book themed event with even the award trophies dawning golden capes.

"To the creative cave!"

Concept art for the cover and feature spread in peds Magazine for Children's Hospital of Atlanta.

The noninvasive heart procedure used a valve called the melody valve. The heart valve could be placed through a catheter thus avoiding the open heart surgery. That is music to my ears and my valves work properly.

"Tooth Straight" A perfect smile in every visit. 

Like the snake oil of the old days I envisioned this bottled solution being handed out for a small fee off the back of a wagon that rolled in and out of town with the wind. The cork stopper so temporary since the straightener would be emptied in no time.

Dr. Jones Orthodontics, the client, is a fun practice that focuses on children and the office has the Willy Wonka factory of magic type of feel to it. This art was a concept for an advertisement, that went on to be a t-shirt and poster for the office. Guess the Dr. wanted a few more bottles after the first.

I want to be an Illustrator when I grow up.

My dream used to be a pro athlete, then an artist, once it was a pastor. I came across this book my parents purchased for me when I was about 5 or 6. I remember reading it and dreaming of being an illustrator. I hope you enjoy "reading" it as well. I have now passed it on to my youngest daughter who also has the gift of dreaming in pencil.
Published in 1970.
