Sophie & The Giant Turtles

SoSo and I had some fun with a giant cardboard box. Took the sketches and did some compositing in Photoshop.

A New Logo for Medical Solutions

I just wrapped up this new logo for Medical Solutions Professionals. 

The full name of this firm is a mouthful but a new logo will help with consumption. MSP is primarily a b2b office and a new logo and letterhead will step up there marketing presence. My goal was to convey strength and security with the "M" design and give my client's clients a sense of trust when handing over there financial dealings to MSP. 

It's real shame when you see a good firm not have the foresight to develop a great logo. The cliche is true, aren't they all? You never get a 2nd impression.

Get Lifted!

Feelin kinda a low? Get inspired by flowers!

Annabel Lee Tavern gets a new hand rail

Annabel Lee Tavern is a little tavern located a bit off the beaten path in the Canton area of Baltimore City...and they now have a new hand rail by local blacksmith Randy Slaysman of Slaysman Forge. The custom hand-crafted steel railing features a creepy tree right out of a Poe story.

The hand cap is custom forged cold rolled steel that has the appearance of a bygone era. My favorite feature is the blood red, scripty letter "A" that greets each patron. It grabs your attention and guides you up the stairs. The tavern has a fine reputation for food and now is the home to one the most interesting hand rails in East Baltimore.

Old Baltimore Studios

I found these photo cards in a dank east Baltimore basement. Check out the scripted logos - a very nice hand style that is worth noting. I wonder if they're still around...Perkins on 311 E. Baltimore St. & Hueller Studio 160 South Broadway.

New Bertha's Mussels Sign

I'm working on a new sign for Bertha's Mussels in Fells Point. Here are 2 potential sketches. They are designed to be built with distressed wood and fatigued metal. Details will be carved in wood and cut from sheet steel. Color renderings will be uploaded soon...
