Turnagain Armageddon | Web Graphics

I had a bit of fun with some screenshots from the film Turnagain Armageddon creating these colorful graphics.

The goal is to encourage viewers to donate funds toward the cost of making the film, which was created on a shoestring budget and entirely out-of-pocket.

Please have a look and consider throwing down a few of your hard-earned sawbucks...

Michael & Decker Real Estate | Logo

I've finalized the logo for Michael & Decker LLC Real Estate. It was a fairly simple task with just a few tweaks to get it right. The folks knew what they wanted and were easy to please.

Now it's on to building their website. More to come...

Allright Home Repair & Remodel | Website

The website for Allright Remodel is really looking good. I'm very happy with how it's going. The logo integrated nicely and we also shot some new photos to bring it all to life.

This project has been lengthy, rather involved, and quite challenging. I've drawn on a number of artistic disciplines including graphic design, web development and photography.

Indian Valley Retreat Center | Website

Things are starting to come together with the Indian Valley Retreat Center website. I'm still working out some kinks and getting content organized.

Here's a look at the site so far:

Zombie Paintings

I created a series of paintings inspired by the film Turnagain Armageddon, a local production that chronicles the tale of a lone survivor during the zombie apocalypse.

I was overwhelmed by the interest and positive feedback I got from this series. In fact, the art went so quickly I was unable to properly document it.

There were nine altogether. One of the paintings was used in the promotional poster and went to Gator, the film's creator. The rest are scattered out to the cast of the movie and the cult-like zombie-loving masses.

Here is a look at the last remaining piece ("Man-Eater") and another that I happened to photograph before it sold:

Taku Engineering | Holiday Greeting Card revision

At the 11th hour we made a hard decision and chose to go a different direction with the Taku Engineering, LLC. holiday greeting card. The look isn't a big deviation, and I think it was a good call.

Barring any further changes, here's a peek at the final design. I'll post the invitation after the party, so as to avoid any potential party crashers looking to leech off all the good holiday cheer.

Looking forward to seeing the final product in actual printed form, and maybe going to what appears to be a pretty swanky party!

Taku Engineering | Holiday Greeting Card

I really enjoy working for the folks at Taku Engineering, LLC. Recently, they had me take a stab at designing their annual holiday greeting card and party invitation. It's always fun to do something different, and this project is a nice change of pace for me. Still a work in progress, we'll see where it goes.

Turnagain Armageddon | Movie Poster

"A fever spreads across the land."

Recently, John O'Leary, a.k.a. Gator from the Grind, approached me about helping him with the promotion of his independent film, Turnagain Armageddon. The movie tells the story of a lone survivor of the zombie apocalypse. I was excited and eager to take on the task.

This project presented me with the opportunity to get really creative, and I seized it. To start things off, Gator and I went out on a shoot together – the 12-guage and 357 variety. It was a blast, literally. We shot the zombie snot out of some stuff!

I took what was left of the peppered plywood panels – my preferred canvas – home to the art studio and got to work creating some images inspired by the film. What followed was an exploration into the dark and chaotic recesses of my imagination...and I think I like it.

Happy Halloween!

Quite possibly my favorite holiday, I love Halloween. Spooky costumes, tons of candy, freaks, creeps, weirdos and monsters. So much fun! What's not to love?

As a child I was fascinated with comic books and graphic novels. One of my favorite artists back then was Gurchain Singh, a.k.a. "The Gurch". His pen and ink illustrations of zombies, skeletons, gore and guts that appeared on the covers and pages of countless issues of Gore Shriek magazine were a source of inspiration and had a tremendous influence on my artistic development.

Big ups to The Gurch!

Taku Engineering, LLC: Tri-fold Brochure update

Here is the second draft revision of the Taku Engineering, LLC tri-fold brochure I've been working on lately. I think it's looking pretty good, quite an improvement from the initial layout.

Taku Engineering: Tri-fold Brochure

The sign project is on hold until a new office location is determined for the folks over at Taku Engineering, LLC. Meanwhile, they have asked me to update their tri-fold brochure.

Here is an initial layout comp using the existing logo and some photos and information gathered from their website, which is being reworked by OTC Web Design.

Wild Alaska Smoked Salmon

This is my first attempt at smoking my own salmon. Beautiful Kenai River Red Salmon I caught with my good friend Tim Blum earlier this summer, all brined up and ready for the smoker. Many thanks to my neighbor Tim Denuptiis for the brine recipe, kind instruction, and use of the big chief.

Aw yeah, baby!

Taku Engineering, llc.

I'm working on designing a sign for Taku Engineering, llc. The final sign will be 7' wide X 4' high and mounted on a larger structure. Also, it will be internally illuminated, which poses some challenges regarding municipal sign ordinances.

*This is a work in progress so we'll see where it ends up.

Lorna's Therapeutic Touch

It's a real pleasure to help Lorna out with her marketing…literally. Getting bodywork from her is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I feel great!

Lorna is working on setting up her Alaska Mind Body Institute. Look for more on that in the near future.

Sound Contracting, LLC.

Here is a logo I am working on for Sound Contracting, LLC. This small locally-owned business has been around for a while under a different name but is now in need of a new look with strong company branding.

I think the plumb bob is a great symbol of "soundness" when it comes to building and construction. Once we finalize the logo design we'll move forward with a website and various business collaterals.

Dahlias at Forget-Me-Not Nursery

We celebrated this year's Autumnal Equinox at Forget-Me-Not Nursery. There was great food, and good times, complete with a guided walkthrough of the dahlias in the greenhouse.

They are spectacular flowers.

North Face Trail

I hiked the North Face Trail at Alyeska for the first time ever. The 2.2-mile trek to the tram terminal is terrific! It was a gorgeous day to boot.

YAK!

The pictures say it all. Happy Birthday Shawn! Sorry Judd, it wasn't me.

I'll be making some T-shirts, hats and stickers of this design in the near future so don't nobody steal it!
