    As requested, here's some finished work

    As per request by "Coy" I am providing 2 links to past completed work.

    Old Portfolio This portfolio has not been updated in 2 years, but does provide you with 5 categories of: Logo / Illustration / Mascot / Caricature / Website.

    Logo samples These samples are mixed styles of mine, some are more recent works.

    Note: I no longer provide any web design / coding services, I discontinued that type work about a year ago. I mainly focus on 2D Vector design now: Logo / mascot / Caricature / Illustration. Eventually I'll get around to updating my "Old Portfolio" as I redesign the old website to be more like my newer Logo services sub-domain site you see in the "Logo Sample" link.

    I actually have a 250gb external hard drive with well over 10,000+ original designs of mine archived offline & over 5,000+ 700mb CD's with about 20+ clients work on each That I file away for when they come back to me later for more work. Eventually when a client comes back enough they manage to get their very own CD lol.....

    When I get around to updating everything with newer completed projects I'll post the new links here (Might be a while though). I actively design & participate in about 2-10 projects per day (5 days a week) from direct clients, contests, referrals, & freelance sources, so it's hard sometimes to set aside some me time for site redesigns lol.

    Thanks Coy.... ... Now if I can just muster up the time and motivation to revamp / update / redesign everything (Motivation being the key factor of the equation)

    Very nice, especially the newer stuff. It seems that re-designing your own sites are usually the toughest thing to do (or find time for), but I'm sure you can do it! I like the little characters on your website and DC avatar, by the way.

    Thanks, My little yellow mascot was my way of practicing doing a variety of facial expressions & body positioning, I actually have over 1000+ of those little guys. I had a tough time at first getting facial expressions just right so that it coveys the right message, after a few months of practice & fortifying my own mascot army I managed to perfect it a little bit. Practice makes perfect I suppose

    Good stuff, like your line quality. Do you use a tablet or trace scans or have insane mouse skillz?

    I purchased my first tablet almost 4 years ago now & still use it on every project. Took me about 2 weeks (if I recall properly) to get used to it. It has proven to be one of my MOST used tools (Daily).

    Here's my normal approach:

    1.) Read a project brief in it's entirety
    2.) Sit back, relax, & take a few deep breaths
    3.) Close my eyes & focus on the primary attributes of the brief
    4.) eventually I'll start to get a few creative visions blending together
    5.) I then freehand sketch a few of the vision on my graphics tablet with the vector pencil tool
    6.) I select the best of them & define it with the vector pen tool
    7.) I then look it over & see if I can make it even more simplistic for branding (If project requires it)
    8.) I make sure that the design is sustainable in black & White as well as monochrome
    9.) I then splash color into it (Normally trying not to use more than 3)
    10.) Finally I add it to my presentation template & upload to my server for Live viewing
    11.) Every 14 days I purge all previous uploads for security

    Thanks for asking, I hope that helps explain it a bit

    Hey Great work! Yea it's very difficult to work in your own site, it's very chalenging.

    Recommending a tablet (to me) is like recommending a software. There are 2 takes on the subject: 1.) recommending the Most popular tablet (industry standard by default of the amount of users) which would be "Wacom".... & 2.) recommending the tablet that i have been using & chose as part of my design tools arsenal for the last 4 years of owning it, which would be the "Genius G-Pen".

    I'm the oddball when it comes to design, my personal choice of tools are manufactured from smaller unknown companies, yet produce & deliver industry standard results & formats that remain compatible & up to date with the current industry's demands.
