Red flowers

I did these two illustrations for a client. They were designed to be hung side by side to give the appearance of one continuous image. They are rather large in person, and the colors are slightly different than they appear here on the screen. I designed the flowers to steer away from photographic realism into more simplistic forms and I felt that illustrating them in a vector program helped. I was happy with the graphic quality the flowers and the leaves had when I finished.

Pink and Peach.


This was a quick vector design that I illustrated for fun. I did a few color comps before deciding on pink and peach as my color combination. I want to work on this further and add some extra design elements. It is still a work in progress.
Comments are appreciated.

Lemons!


I really have a lot of fun making illustrated patterns and have done quite a few in the past year. This is a close up of one of my simpler pattern pieces that I illustrated in Adobe Illustrator. I kept the lemons nice and saturated and added a layered backdrop to help the lemons pop into the foreground. Enjoy!

Dog Portrait 1


I illustrated this in Adobe Illustrator. It is piece one in a set of two illustrations. I will try to post the companion illustration later as well.

I limited the background so that the dog held most of the visual interest. In the end, I like how this turned out.
