Snake Eyes was my favorite G.I. Joe when I was growing up.
Penciled and hand inked then scanned it in and colored with Photoshop.

Kirk vs. Gorn was good entertainment… the cheesy guy in a rubber suit beating the snot out of Captain Kirk kind of entertainment. I woke up this morning with this image in my head. Made it in Adobe Illustrator added texture with Adobe Photoshop.

Thinking of doing Star Trek themed series this style. Do you think I should?

Art Deco flyer design process - Twin Cities IT Social

When I was asked to create a flyer for the Twin Cities IT Social that is taking place at The Forum on April 28^th, I was excited; first I got to design something and that is always fun, second I got to dust off my Art Deco Book.

I first started by reviewing the information and photos of The Forum provided. I then did a google image search and created a mood board with results. I was surprised at the amount of time I spent on creating and arranging the board.

While taking in the board and thinking about the theme of the event I decided I needed more social images to inspire me. That was when I found the Dunnhill poster. The Dunhill and the style of the woman in the bathing suit posters influenced the form of the flyer.

After sketching out the illustration I scanned it in, used Adobe Illustrator to create the base form. Then I brought the illustration into PhotoShop to add some finishing touches.

I used the community at Forrst.com for feedback on the design. The community was especially helpful
regarding the typography.

The finished flyer:

If you are going to be in the Minneapolis area on April 28^th
