I am a graduate of the CreativeCircus in Atlanta, Georgia. Here are a few samples of my work from when Iattended the school back in the mid 90s, shortly after they opened their doors.At that time, I had the good fortune to be taught by one of the schoolsco-founders, design guru - Rob Lawton.

1.   Delta Drifter, a history of blues music - CD and booklet package

2.   Cafe Ronzoni, a complete romantic dinner for two - package design

3.   The Picture of Dorian Grey, by Oscar Wilde - book design

4.   Memphis in May championship barbecue competition - invitation design


Here is my entry for the Fowl Art Contest, part of an annual event held locally. Finished work - 11"x14" acrylic on canvas. I sketched out my ideas and reworked the illustration on paper. Soon thereafter, the final drawing was transferred to the canvas, then painted. From the many entries submitted, this one was chosen as the winner.


A few samples of my caricaturedrawing skills. From developing a concept on the pages of a sketchbook, toimporting the pencil drawings into a layered Photoshop file for finaladjustments and color.


Used my airbrush painting skillsand helped construct this bookcase for a fundraiser ‘Make a Case for Reading’presented by the Atlanta Children’s Museum. Out of the several bookcasesentered, this design brought in the highest bids that day.
