Decoupage ornaments

Well, my time at Hallmark is over but the projects I worked on should still be showing up on the shelves throughout the the coming year.  This afternoon I saw these decoupage ornaments on sale at Target, which I had done the turnaround drawings for.  

Pork N' Mindy photos

The logo made its premeire at the Shawnee (KS) Great Grillers competition this weekend.

Posey activity book

A book I drew for Hallmark came out the recently, which retails for $7.95 at Hallmark stores and works with the plush Posey Interactive Story Buddy (sold separately).

Pork N' Mindy logo

Did this logo for some childhood friends of mine who just won the famous Great Lenexa BBQ Battle, the one they used to show in national Kingsford Charcoal commercials.   I guess they're going to make a new banner and some t-shirts out of the logo.  I loved their name and so I did a spoof on the Mork & Mindy logo and they gave me some of their barbecue in return.  Yum!

Flying Super People

Bunny Music Class

Color version.

Iron Man papercraft

This is a Hallmark card I designed, and I also illustrated the Iron Man papercraft artwork too.  It retails for $3.97.

Frog Dog Log color

Trying a new coloring style!

Granite City Blueberry Lager logo

My wife loves food competitions, and when she saw this contest she asked that I do a logo for it. If you like it and want to vote, HERE'S where you do it!  Thanks!

Star Wars Clip-Its

Here's another project I did at Hallmark that went on sale nationally this past week.  They retail for $4.95 and are on sale at the Hallmark sections of stores like Walmart and I assume places like Walgreens and wherever.  This project was a bit of childhood wish fulfillment for me--the little Greg of 1983 who saw Return of the Jedi on opening day would have freaked to know he was gonna get to do this!

Wizard of Oz book

Finally something I can show from my job at Hallmark!  This is a recordable storybook that arrived in Hallmark stores this past week and retails for $29.95.  Basically what you do is press a button and record yourself reading the book, and your voice will be preserved for posterity.  As for the character design, I had to follow what Warner Bros had established in their style guide.  However, it was great to finally color a book myself--I'm so used to somebody else coloring my books because I usually have to go off and draw something else for somebody else.





I snapped a couple of photos of the book on display at a Hallmark store.

Animals colored

For fun I colored 49 of these animal icons I've made.  I'll get them on the portfolio site soon.
