It was the nineties, I had a lot of clients like Taco Bell and Sports Illustrated that wanted work in a fifties style like I did for Idea Machine. All vector, baby!

Fifties Retro Vintage Illustration

Infographic

Infographic

Making infographics is always fun to do, I’ve done so many of them. Telling a company’s story visually can be a challenge, but the payoff of someone understanding a concept visually is worth it. The first two were for an oil company–for an annual report. The rain one ws an explainer for a rare rainstorm.

For Shell Canada,an infographic depicting oil prices, done in Adobe Illustrator.

For the City of Calgary, an explainer infographic talking about how a part of the city got flooded during the 2013 floods.

When a school district was returning after the pandemic they had me create this infographic to explain the new normal.

The folks at Tag advertising had me help out with this explainer illustration of processes in their company. It was done as a vector illustration for use in a variety of applications. I learned a lot about Gibsons in the process.

I love doing the vector isometric explainer illustrations. This one breaks down how solar electricity generation works. It’s a topic close to my heart because our home is solar and we love it. The image is all vector in Adobe Illustrator.

These were part of a series of about 100 drawings that the author of the book they’re for; tries to explain the universe and our relationships with its forces.

Snow Time

Snow Time

This illustration was done with watercolors and Prismacolor pencils. It about two x three feet in size. Done for Kemper snowboards as a poster. 

Cement Infographic

Cement Infographic

This was a really interesting project in as much that I got to learn how cement is made and how it differs from concrete. The scale is pretty amazing and the fact it can’t be made far from where it is needed.

These images were for a creative whose client wanted to represent trains as a reliable way to move their products. They wanted a nostalgic kind of travel poster look. All were done as vector illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. The Northern Lights versions–one was rejected, and replaced with the more literal lights. I thought the first one had merit so I included it.
