Darcy Totten wanted some new business cards for Red Paper Planes. I made a diagram to fold the card into a paper plane. A red one.
The Green Paper

The Green Paper, a local newspaper about being nice to the environment, had me paint one of their boxes. Inspired by the children’s book, The Giving Tree, I turned the box into an abstract tree trunk.
Squares!

A fun little iPhone game that needed some graphics. The first thing was to come up with 3 colors that logically implied good, not so good, and bad. I made a few different sets of faces just to add variety: Dweebs, Monsters, Anime, and Curmudgeons.

I can honestly say I miss New York….or miss some things about it. The Northwest and I are far more compatible. But I had a good fling with the big city.
