Due to the pandemic, the Mardi Gras Krewe of the Rolling Elvi did not roll in 2021 but wanted a poster nonetheless. Their idea was to have a bunch of 'Elvi' sitting at a bar. This was my solution.
I began working with and providing design to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center from its inception. Years later, I was approached to provide a t-shirt design for summer campgoers.
A friend asked me to draw her dogs. Not satisfied with just drawing them, I created these magazine covers instead.
This was a poster design for a heavy metal band called 'Motorboat'. The thought of their boat loaded down with alphabet-shaped life vests, many of which would be useless due to their particular letterform, made me laugh.
A sticker I designed as an exercise for the coastal town, Ocean Springs. Sea Gulls forever sound to me as if they are complaining or cursing.
The MS Gulf Coast Marine and Seafood Industry Museum approached me to design all of the collateral for their 50th anniversary of Hurricane Camille exhibit. This was my logo.
Biloxi became the home to the second location of actor Morgan Freeman's Clarkesdale blues club called 'Ground Zero'. The Biloxi location wanted a mural to adorn the face of the street-facing club.
I felt this watercolor of an owl I photographed was fairly mediocre. I remembered the old Tootsie Roll commercial where an owl works to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of one of their suckers....and thus made my owl acceptable.

This illustration was my way of combining two elements which are complete opposites in what they represent. (personal work)
An idea that occurred to me many years ago and was realized in watercolor. I began using water-soluble oils and thought it was time to take another stab at the idea.
One of my favorite automobiles is the 1932 Ford. I just had to see what The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' imagery looked like on that cool automobile body.
