Life is busy, and blogging has not always been at the top of my list. So many things have changed in the year or so it’s been since I was tweeting and blogging regularly. It’s surely time to jump back in the saddle.

Partially the reason for my non-posting had to do with me just never being happy with the blog itself. I’ve never gotten comfortable with a site or system to keep blogging fun and not a chore. WordPress to the rescue!

I’m tinkering with this site now, going to keep making it unique to me. I plan on migrating this site with my LithiumPro.net site eventually. It’s just too hard to upkeep two sites.

So please bear with me again, and I hope to have some regular posts and have some good contributors soon.

Cheers!

The overall project looks brilliant and has just been added to the New York Times Best Sellers Soft Cover list. This is the first book for IDW to reach that list, and is the second book that I have worked on in the last three months to make the list.

Congratulations to to Justin Eisinger and the gang at IDW!

Transformers: Beast Wars Omnibus is available at Amazon.com and other booksellers.

Besides creating the logo for this series, I also lettered and designed the trade. Which is now available at Amazon.com and other booksellers. This was a very interesting project to work on, and the trade design came out really nicely.

I’ve begun working on a new project with for Mr. Koontz title NEVERMORE, a story created specifically for the Graphic Novel format. The first issue is in stores now.

I had the pleasure of designing this book from front to back and really thought the end result was a beautiful. One of the finest trades I have worked on. The story by Jim Butcher and the art by Ardian syaf is brilliantly matched and both fun and riviting at the same time.

This book is on sale now at all major booksellers and online at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. Pick one up, it will not dissapoint!

I created the background from scratch, and used the artwork from issue number one, of the main character of Harry Dresden as the focus. I carried a color block from the front to  the back (using the color on the spine to highlight Mr. Butcher’s name). And left the back simple, with just the trademark phrase from the opening chapter of the book. (DelRey will be adding in the UPC and their own logo treatment at the bottom left of the back.)

Look for this book to be in stores this Summer.

ChoiceStream’s brand has streamlined each year over the past five years. The simplification in colors and the icon treatment goes along with the easy of incorporating the company’s technology into the clients programs.

In a coming post, I’ll share the corporate identity package, with spells out the usage and style that I created for ChoiceStream.

Jimmy asked me to come up with something with the main character and a black background. And as usual with Jimmy, we riffed back and frth and this is the result.

Keep an eye out for this in bookstores this April.

Last year I had the pleasure of collaborating with the Marketing Director, here at ChoiceStream, on a new trade show booth design for the company.

The booth is made of aluminum and features a separate podium and table area for demonstrations. It also has a mountable 30 inch screen for video presentations.

The booth showcases the ChoiceStream brand and emphasizes the edge in technology that ChoiceStream has in the industry.

Thanks for all the kind words of support.
