This simple wrap design was a lot of fun to do. It is a two-color design on clear glass that features icons of jazz instruments and some music notation. The text says "New Orleans Jazz"

Rushmore Mountain National Park wanted a mug for their souvenir store featuring their main attraction, as well as the surrounding landscape (the Badlands), a bison, and the SD shape. It was a bit of a challenge combining all those elements into a wraparound collage...

The majority of ceramic design allow for a few spot colors (sometimes a special material like glitter) so the goal is to make something bright and, well, colorful. PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE.

One of many spec designs I have developed for Souvenir Source. The idea is to take the first letter of a city all over the mug in 3 colors, with the city name in white on the front.

This mug was designed for the Salem Wax Museum. The customer asked for something more adult-oriented, focusing on the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. I went with basic black and two shades of grey for my spot colors.

These mugs were designed for in-house printing; I was asked to created several brightly colored patterns for general marketing purposes.

The following designs illustrate some of my physical (non-CAD) drawing & sketching.
Bryan Cranston portrait was one of the first ones I've done that was first sketched, then outlined with a Sharpie, scanned, then cleaned up with Photoshop and Illustrator. At the time I was a huge Breaking Bad fan!
