I created this cartoon aviator bird mascot character and the website banner seen above for a recent client. The name of the company & website was “Daily Flock” so we knew the mascot was going to be bird-related. The website offers local New York City bargains, so the idea was that the website scoured the city for shopping deals for you. I suggested an aviator bird, and the client loved the idea.

I recently created this cartoon character mascot for a client who is a roofer. He was looking for a fun logo for his roofing business, and I assume he’s also a dog lover as he asked for the character to be a dog carpenter.

Just a quick post to let all you artists out there know about an up-and-coming new website from the amazing illustrator Dani Jones — the ArtCast Network.
Dani loves to share her extensive illustration technique knowledge via live streaming videocasts on Ustream, and decided there needed to be a website that brought together all the talented atists out there who do live streaming webcasts on Ustream or other similar sites.
I have a Ustream cartooning & illustration channel, but I am just getting started. The ArtCast website has inspired me to do much more of this, so keep an eye out for future live video stream where you can watch me sketch & draw live in Adobe Photoshop, and work on cartoon-style vector art illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. And all videos will be recorded and saved to my Ustream channel for those of you who aren’t able to watch live.
The ArtCast Network is still in the ‘under construction’ phase right now, but head on over at the link above if you are an artist and want to participate.
