Graphic Art.
It all begins with an idea.
A dream, a doodle, a sketch, a thought, a conversation, a request.
It doesn’t matter where the inspiration comes from - art begs to be created.
I have extensive experience with Adobe products, with all of their products available to me to use (image creation, layout, design, etc.)
I am able to work in a wide range of styles, from minimal to extensively detailed. Aside from the information here, you can view other artwork representing my style and range which includes personal and commissioned artwork in my other gallery pages reachable from either the Gallery Lobby, or following the links at the bottom of each page.
You can view my pricing information on my Artistree project listing referencing each respective item - but you are most likely going to fall under the “Graphic Art” range and pricing.
Bulletin Cover for 71st Anniversary for St. Mark Congregation: The church this was made for was celebrating the 71st year since the charter / creation of the St. Mark Presbyterian Church. My image is of the entrance to the church, and was used as a cover, the bulletin was created by the office staff.
The committee in charge of the project wanted to focus on the cross and the stained-glass window at the front of the church.
Included in images below are my artwork for the cover, a reference image for the church building/structure, and a writeup provided in the newsletter after the Heritage Sunday service occurred.

I was asked to create a logo for a podcast keeping the look and feel of the original branding of the umbrella company, but changing the imagery to represent the goals and focus of the podcast topic.
It was desired to have a specific style of microphone, a brain, a lightning bolt, a fountain pen, and specific text regarding the branding and name of the podcast.
The customer did have a basic idea in mind, and gave me the description. I provided several options, and when they picked the one they liked best, I gave them some colorway options, and then with some final requested edits, we produced this image.
As a live streamer and content creator, I have created some emoticons for use by my chat and community members.

I was asked to create a calendar (for the same church as above) for the year of 2025 which allows members to sign up to buy (and then take home) flowers for the church services.
I designed the flowers and vines around the space to be used for the “signup sheet”, then drew them on coquille paper and produced the final image completely in stippling.
Included are a final image hanging in the narthex with the signup lines added, and some closeup images of the artwork as it progressed to show the level of detail in the piece.
The same church I have done the other work for is currently working on a plan for a future project to paint one of the exterior walls with an image/message for the high school students who are currently involved in an outreach project called “Open Gate”. These students enter through the gate to the right of where this message is going to be displayed. I was asked to create some brainstormed ideas of murals that can be painted to represent the phrase “We are One in the Spirit, We are One in the Lord”.
I provided 3 designs, and 6 potential representations as an initial brainstorm on the idea ranging from simple (focused on text), symbolic with and without text, and graffiti stylized with text in 3 potential layouts.
I also provided an idea to protect the wall from being painted, but still provide the mural with a frame which makes the image much more easily changed out as desired, and allows me to turn around the artwork faster than if I am limited with the weather/ground conditions.
This is still in the discussion phase, and I may make desired changes, or produce brand new design ideas, but this is where the imagery is at the current point in time.
Shown below are the rough drafts, done digitally, but will in the end be painted by hand traditionally either directly on the wall or on wood panels.
