New Illustration Portfolio Site

Since I started this site in 2008, it’s always included samples of all the different types of work that I do. I enjoy creating websites for non-profits, designing print pieces like brochures, and the motion/video work that got me into this business in the first place.

Over the past year I’ve been concentrating more and more on illustration though. It is really at the heart of most the projects I’ve done, even my video work has an “illustration” vibe to it.

The Future

Right now I’m creating a strategy to separate my illustration portfolio from the rest of my design services. I haven’t quite figured out how to organize all my offerings, but it will definitely mean at least one new website specifically for illustration.

The other site will continue to feature my identity, print and motion design that is an attractive and affordable solution for non-profits and businesses.

Until then, stay posted here for new illustrations and keep watching Strong Odors where I’m constantly writing and illustrating editorial content.

Here are a few of my favorite illustrations that will be featured on the new site.
