A new poster for an event at The Rockhouse. Artwork commissioned by Cooper Tires and Formula Drift.

Made some new artwork for the Rockhouse ladies night… which is really guys night.

This was an amazing sunset from the top of the M Resort in Las Vegas. It was an awesome late May view with tons of colors. The city is in the middle. The photo quality isn’t that great, but at least you can appreciate the colors.

The more I work, the more the line blurs…

I have been seriously slacking on my personal blog this summer. I have had the fortune of being very busy working on tons of projects with various clients, enjoying the company of friends, becoming a photo buff with my new camera and as spending time with family this hot summer.

The most notable achievement this summer is the continued success of my business that I started in May with a few partners. Balls Marketing has managed to maintain several “in-house” accounts as well as develop projects for a few outside accounts. I have been focused on creating an identity for the new company as well as maintaining the internet presence and portfolio as well as new client efforts. It has been a little overwhelming, but rewarding all the same. I will post about the venture shortly and share all the great links.

The photos above are from our recent trip to Denver that caps a busy summer. Meanwhile, I will be working on updating my personal blog with all the work I have done in the last year and all the photos I have taken with my new camera. Hope ya’ll have been having a great time this summer as well!

When my wife and I went back to her old stomping grounds for the holidays, we discovered a gem of a LP collection. After a few hours of listening to music from our youth, I decided to dig a little deeper the next day. I found a whole set of LP’s with covers and designs from a bygone era. For some reason I just love digging through the music and its artwork. The album cover has always been an interesting medium for me. It has to convey so much audio expression in just a simple image. I ended up losing track of time down in that basement, here are a few highlights. Take a look!

This is a poster that I made for a design inspiration series. Project Page.

Yummy huh? That’s pollen! It’s probably in your nose right now, and it looks super cool photographed through a microscope. Check it out on the Big Picture.

An incredible archive of music posters that spans decades is what awaits you at GigPosters.com. I stumbled across this a year or so ago and found myself getting lost in it again last night. Some great stuff on here, and some not so great, but it is most interesting to see the styles that are associated with different types of music.

A complete roundup of the entire Lego Minifig collection. This guys was my first back in the day, 1979.
