Print work~ {Scroll down for sample work} I am available for print work related to chalkboard and chalkboard art, as well hand drawn lettering and typography in general.  I can develop artwork for magazine covers and articles, point of purchase signage, CD and DVD art, print ads, product label design and just about any other type of printed media. I can work in actual chalk, permanent pencils, or even use a digital method I have developed to fake chalk.  Each option has it’s own merits and I always suggest the best option for your unique project.

JANUARY 2013: I was very excited to be contacted by art director Lucas Nickerson over at ESPN.  Lucas is the guy that develops all the awesome video effects for Sports Center and other ESPN shows. Under his direction I developed close to 40 pieces of artwork to be used on ESPN during the week leading up to the Super Bowl.  The image on the left was used as a “bump out” on Sports Center the whole week and several other pieces were used through out the week as well. Method:  Digital chalk look method. Below is some of the artwork submitted and the final animated results. I provided the art separated out into parts in a Photoshop file for ease of manipulation for animation. The animation was done in-house at ESPN.

OCTOBER 2012: SOHO Boutique in Augusta, Georgia wanted a unique design to get their customer’s excited about buying gift cards for their family and friends.  I developed the art on an actual chalkboard with chalk at about 5 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall.  I then took a high res photo of the board, did a little touch up in Photoshop and it was off to the printer.  The client received a high res JPG set to her printer’s color and bleed specifications.  The cards came out great! Method:  Actual chalk on large chalkboard to high res photo/jpg for print use. See a Time lapse video of me chalking this board at vimeo> (OPENS IN NEW WINDOW.)
