Hermit Crab

SO! I read an article online (posted by one of my twitter friends!:) ) that gave some tips on how one should go about making a Promotional Postcard as an Illustrator. Reading about all these tips made me want to make a new promo postcard, as I didn't much like my last one, never mind use it.
Anyways, I like hermit crabs, I felt like drawing/painting one so that was the first piece of art to be created for my promo postcard. I drew it with pencil, filled in with watercolour paints and pencils, added shading with pencil crayons and inked the edges. I like how it turned out, here's the picture of what I have so far. (You really don't get the full effect with the cell phone pictures, but I promise I'll scan it in later on!)

Let me know what you think of it :)

Twitter Background

So I was working on a Twitter background for myself, check it out here, and my sister mentioned she would like one for her blog as well. We didn't really speak about it at all yet but I made her one for now, just for the sake of it.

She's a writer and a crafter so I decided to do things that related to that. Here's the background I created for her.

Not sure if it would be tiled or what but I tested it out on my own Twitter account and it looked pretty neat. We shall see if she likes it or not ;) :). You can check out my sister's twitter here.

Thanks for reading, be back with some more graphics soon!

Powerpoint Presentation

Here's another piece of the branding I created for my Real Estate Agent Aunt. It is a powerpoint presentation based on her neighbourhood, trying to get clients interested in buying in her neighbourhood.
This is just one piece of the powerpoint but they all look quite similar, with pictures and whatnot.

Real Estate Branding

Hi everyone!  
Sorry I have not posted in so long, I recently moved and there was a lot going on lately, not much time to upload pics and post to my blog! But here's the update.  
Lately, I've been working on some work for my aunt. She is a real estate agent in Mississauga and right now is very focused on getting new clients, as well as branding herself. I've been working on a powerpoint presentation for her for a while now (we keep thinking up new ideas to add to it so it is a never-ending project! :):P)
BUT I've also had a bit of time to start working on some branding for her. She wanted a logo type of thing for her name so that people would see that and KNOW that it is her. She is a very family oriented person and loves her Irish heritage so we were thinking something along 
the lines of celtic.  
Anyways, here's the first stage of a logo I've created for her.

You can check out her website HERE.


Let me know if you have any comments or criticisms on the logo! I'd love to hear them :)

Logo Creation

My first real freelance project just got finished today! It was a logo I created for a company called J. Price Photography. I think Justin Price and I worked really well together and this special logo was formed.
Here it is!

I am so excited to be finished my first freelance project. Hope you enjoy. Comments and Criticisms welcome.

Yet another business card

Two posts in one day! I made another business card, this time for myself as I said before.
I also have a flyer for real estate graphic design that matches this business card so it's going to be a good brand identity.

Check it out!

Business Card

Hello All,

So this week my sister, Jessica Peter, (check out her blog HERE) is going to a writing convention to pitch her new novel to some people.
Of course she needs some business cards to market herself so I decided I'd make her some to add to my portfolio.
I had a lot of fun making this!
The plan is for me to make some business cards for myself as well so that if people ask where she got the design done she can hand out my card as well. PERFECT!

Here it is!
