Shinny and new, here is the final logo! I hope the girls like it...

Mural sketches...

Here's the rough sketch and color study, in the beginning stages, for a mural I am working on for Little Sprouts...seeing as winter is looming, it's going to have to wait until the spring...

The day care wanted to use characters from their sponsor's program "Between the Lions". The family is reading a book that is coming to life...

An old logo needed some jazzing up...

Working on some designs for The Dancing School in North Reading, they're in sketch stage for now...

Roxbury Community College Mural

Finally, here are the pictures of the RCC mural that I did with the Mayor's Mural Crew in my fourth summer working with Gregg Bernstein and the crew, good luck with school! If you like it you should call the Mayor's office and tell them! Your feedback keeps programs like the Mayor's Mural Crew alive and able to provide jobs in the summer and the after school program for kids in the city of Boston going.

The mural depicts the land that RCC sits on as it transitioned from an apple orchard with the indigenous Roxbury Russet to the T and industrial buildings and to the college it is today. The large figure is Ed "Pop" Cooper who worked to better the Roxbury community and started many of the community gardens. Check out www.coopergarden.org.

For everyone who has been asking, I promise that pictures of the new mural at Roxbury Community College are coming soon, in the mean time you can enjoy these.

Wonder Dish project

Different stages of the process work done with John Roman for Wonder Worx's new sculptural seating for playgrounds, showing how to use the large dishes that project sound over long distances.

Here are the finish clogs, I think they make a cute pair.

So the client decided on a portrait on each shoe and we changed it to a girl and boy poodle, this is the color comp/final drawing for them...

Pretty Poodles

These are some sketches of French poodles for the first phase a project I am working on. Eventually they will be painted on Dansko clogs.

I think it's time Senator Specter moved on to more important issues that are affecting our country. What do you think?

Go Pats!
