Back in 2009 I worked on a series of illustrations about about law enforcement agencies. The final product was to be silk screen. The silk screen process dictated that I use a limited, spot color palette so I only used three colors. I started with a really, really rough sketch I had done by hand and worked over it in Adobe Illustrator.

I had forgotten the project all together, but while rooting through some old files the other day I discovered I had an almost complete screen capture video of the process. I thought I might as well edit it together and post it for the public. It’s not too long at just over one minute. I hope you enjoy it.

Palm Beach Boat Show Map

It’s time for the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 22 – 25, 2012)

The map now extends further north and south along the West Palm Beach City Commons than it did last year. There are a lot of smaller or less obvious changes as well. I also created a couple of new detail maps that appear in the phone app, so look for those after you download the app. Working with Show Management was great as always. This is one of my largest scale maps to date and I really enjoy tinkering with it. I hope you enjoy the map and the show.

If you haven’t seen last year’s videos of the process of creation of the The Palm Beach International Boat Show map please have a look.

Additional information on the show is available from Show Management. The phone app is available for download here.

I also have made a Google Map marking the venue available and if you would like to use mass transit to get to the show this Trip Planner can be helpful. The address of the West Palm Beach City Commons is 101 South Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach, FL.

I just completed an illustrated map for The Dover International Speedway in Dover Delaware. The Dover International Speedway features the world’s fastest one mile oval known as The Monster Mile and has been hosting NASCAR events since it first opened in July 1969. The complex is 750 acres and includes The Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. The speedway is a complete vacation destination for race fans.

The staff at The Dover International Speedway had seen my previous work and wanted a map for multiple applications ranging from handouts to “you are here signs” to billboards. It was a great project for me and both challenging and exciting.

As usual I did all of the work in Adobe Illustrator. As a result the vector based art can be scaled without losing resolution. I made a time lapse video of the creation of the map as I worked. I hope you enjoy it.
