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.
As requested, here's some finished work

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.
I want to use a tablet, which one do you recommend?
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.
