GO RAVENS!

TGA Logo Upgrade

I reworked the type treatment on my TGA logo. The Genesis Agency is a great client and they welcomed the bolder font treatment.


Below is the old logo with the weaker type treatment.

DIGITAL DOODLES

A few digital distractions that you thought you would dig...

Breaking out the black flair and doodling.

I love to sketch on anything I can find. Having fun with Sophie & Nate...

Save The Raven: Part 2

I placed the sketch into Adobe Illustrator CS3 and began adding line work. Next step will be to block in color and work on depth and detail.

Save The Raven: Part 1

My friend Rick told me that the local authorities may outlaw biking at Loch Raven Resevoir. I thought this to be the perfect opportunity to make a dope t-shirt/poster design. Check back on the regular to see the design progress.

Here is the initial sketch and scan. Next is to place the scan into Adobe Illustrator to lay in the line work.

Let it Snow!

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.

Part 2. New Bertha's Mussels Sign

"SOPHIE" Font

SOPHIE is a new font inspired by my daughter. Perhaps I'll build the font if there is any interest.
