Jurassic Jumble Game

I illustrated all of the dinosaurs for the game Jurassi Jumble. The illustrations started as watercolor paintings and then additional details and finessing were added using Photoshop. It was a nice learning experience getting to know more about some of the fascinating creatures that roamed Earth so long ago.

Mattel Barbie and the Pink Shoes

I was in Barnes and Noble over the weekend with my husband Ben and our daughter Sarah. I went to look at Golden Books with Sarah and found a Barbie book with a logo on the cover that I worked on. I work for a design company called Design of Today, for those of you who haven't picked up on that yet. Over the years we have worked on several projects for Mattel. One of those was a hand lettered/drawn logo for Barbie and the Pink Shoes. They picked one that I worked on. They took the sketch and created the beautiful final logo attached here. I am really excited to see how the logo ended up and happy that I got to be a part of it. I am attaching a final logo that we sent. The project started in pencil.

I.C. Pup

I created these cute little guys for a project at Design of Today for a company called I.C. Pup. They were drawn to pop in from the side or bottom of a blister or box. I thought they turned out to really well. The project look ended up going another way. It happens. But, after doing this sort of work for 16 years now I get over any feelings of personal rejection very quickly.  It's a creative decision and you never know what a client will go for. If you can't handle rejection, being an designer, artist and/or illustrator isn't the field for you.
