I was recently subcontracted by City Streetz, a full service graphics shop here in Fort Lauderdale, to create a map for The Ah Tah Thi Ki Museum highlighting some of Florida’s Seminole Indian heritage. City Streetz frequently calls upon me for illustration projects and, of course, maps.

Map Cover (and back cover on left)

The Ah Tah Thi Ki Museum had an existing map, but it was very dated, so my task was to bring it up to date. The map was to be in a poster format (34′X22") that folded down to 8.5"X11". For the map itself, this meant completely recreating it and for the rest of the panels on the map the previous design could serve as a rough guide. I screen captured some of the highlights of the project in time lapse video. I hope you enjoy it.

Finished product

Recently author Ann McAllister Clark approached me about creating a book cover for her new book, “A Bone In Her Teeth”. She had found me as a result of the article I have on the site about “Uncle Sam’s” by Jay Humphreys. Ann was very taken with the cover and wanted something similar.

The work was done in Adobe Illustrator. I was pleased to have an opportunity to draw a scuba mask since I am enthusiastic about diving.

I hope you like the illustration and pick up a copy of “A Bone In Her Teeth” by Ann McAllister Clark.

One of my recent projects has been an overview map of the separate venues that constitute the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Although it isn’t isometric, I used a lot of the same techniques I normally use in Adobe Illustrator to achieve the look they wanted. I look forward to seeing the 2011 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show transit map in use.

I was recently approached by Rite Angler, a tackle shop in Fort Myers, Florida, with a project. They already had a rather intricate illustration as a logo, but it was in black and white only and they wanted a color version. They didn’t want the drawing itself changed other than to make it in color. I took on the project and had a lot of fun with it. The logo is entirely vector based, so there will be no issues with enlargement or reduction. Rite Angler is sure to get many years of usage out of their new upgraded logo.
