Take-A-Kid Fishing

Designed for a poster and for whatever reason it never got used . . . I think the Rotary Club's in-house artist got the job . . . happens sometimes.

Blind Boys of Alabama

A design I did back in 2002 for the City of West Sac's 9th Annual Riverbank Music Festival poster . . . came across this today so I thought I'd share it.

Retiring City Lights

City Lights: Going Green and Staying out of the Red

This issue of City Lights will be the last printed issue. In an effort to be more cost effective and eco-friendly, City Lights is going digital and will be renamed "City iLights". Not only are we retiring City Lights - we're retiring me. Effective Sept.1 Dan Harris Draws will become my new gig. Hope to be designing fun stuff when I'm not traveling or riding my bike.
 
 
 

     

2010 PEAR FAIR POSTER . . . revisited

Something I didn't like about the PF poster so I held off going to the printer. Was it too linear? . . .  not "Peter Max" enough? . . .  was it the colors? I don't know, but my inner voice said "hey self - you're not happy with it". - so I played with it and I like it mo betta now. Maybe I'll take it to the printer, Commerce Printing on Monday.

Water Lily

I always like the simple drawings best . . .
. . . 24" x 24" or 12" x 12" . . . or any size you want - that's the beauty of vector drawings.

Bet the kids remember this one. Painted 4 feet in diameter on the wall of their elementary school gym.

Imagination Is Better Than Knowledge

What can I say . . . it always gets me through when I don't know how.

Yolo County Heritage Program

I drew this one (1997) for Maria Wong of the Yolo County Heritage Program . . . "Partnering for Conservation". The original Adobe Illustrator drawing was for a poster and then the Red Winged Blackbird ended up in there logo. Fun assignment. Bring me more of these.

Astoria 1811

Aunt Ronni lives in Astoria, Oregon - Next year they're celebrating 100 years - If you go there, visit in the Spring or Summer and take the trolley that runs the length of the town along the Columbia River to the Astoria Sunday Market where Ronni sells her fabulous "Ronni Originals".

Michelle Fan, Acupuncturist

Michelle Fan is my Acupuncturist. She's in West Sacramento. She can cure a lot of ailments, especially bad backs. If you are hurting anywhere, I highly recommend Michelle. I did this poster for her to show my appreciation for all the help she gave me.
