This is the introduction video for a French healthcare startup called Sympad. I designed the logo and branding guidelines for the company and created the video production implementation of the brand seen here.

Ok, not quite. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I’ve managed to find some inspiration in my new home and finish my Christmas card early this year.

As usual, it’s inspired by the great Art Deco racing posters of Geo Ham (and others) and this year features a 1933 Bugatti Type 59 Grand Prix racing along the canals of old Leiden.

Sunbeam 1000 H.P. Land Speed Record Car

You know how cooking shows always seem to have a perfect version of the final cooked dish waiting in the oven? Artists need them sometimes too.

This is my “pie in the oven” for an Autodesk Sketchbook Pro demonstration that I’m giving tomorrow at the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam. Even though I’ll be doing a real-time walkthrough of my process for creating a digital illustration in SBP, it always helps to have a version that you know will come out right in the end. This illustration of the 1926 Land Speed Record setting Sunbeam “1000 hp” car took me about 2 hours to complete and uses various techniques that I’ll be able to highlight during my presentation if my “drawing hand” doesn’t show up when I do tomorrow afternoon.

Tricks of the trade aren’t just for celebrity chefs.

The Old Rhine in Leiden

After moving to the Netherlands in January, I’ve decided it’s time to go back to work for real. I’ll be updating my website with my most recent work, but also throwing in some pics and tidbits about my new life in Leiden. Enjoy.
