Walmart Halloween Promo 2011






These two designs were part of a promo that I shared with other artist here at American Greetings. Each design is folded up and die cut through on page one so you can see the image on the inside through it.

In the trick or treat illustration, you would see the kid on the porch through the doors windows. And for the cemetery design, you would see the living dead through the gate. There is also art on the far right that can be punched out and you can stand it up. I cropped off the back of that piece because the art was flipped and didn't think it was need to be seen for my blog.

Target Halloween Stickers 2011



This sticker sheet is also out at all Target stores for this years Halloween. Check them out next time you're in Target...or better yet pick them up for yourself or your kids.

Animal Pirate Card



I created this card as a freelance job for American Greetings Invention Lab. I was given a lot of artist freedom with this card. I am really happy with how everything turned out. I hope everyone else thinks so too.

Animals Playing Stickers



This sticker sheet is currently out at all Target Stores. I had a lot of fun working out the characters poses.

Robots



Detail of Characters:



Close Up of Red Robot:



Close Up of Blue Robot:



This card is currently out in all Target Stores. I have included an image of the Red and Blue Robots at a bigger size to show more detail.
The characters were created completely in Photoshop using Shape Layer Paths and Custom Brushes that I created. I did not include photos or use any 3d applications. Each Robot took me an average of 40 hours each. I did a lot of research on metal and how it would age and rust. The original size of each character was 14 inches tall at a resolution of 300 dpi. Because I like to have every detail on it's own layer the file with both characters in it was about 5 gigs.
It's a shame the characters ended up at about 2 inches tall on the card but, if they ever want to use the characters for card product or party goods, then they would have that option.
