    uniE621 Book Cover Illustration Concept
    My most recent digital artwork, cloud chasing is more of a personal project and an attempt to update the illustration side of my portfolio. Created in ProCreate on an ipad Pro, this piece is fully painted in colour. I normally use a greyscale approach to my digital painting, but have been trying to break this habit lately. This piece also incorporates a custom brush I created for the clouds which made a huge impact on making the piece more realistic. illustrator
    uniE621 Golden Knight Illustration
    This was a custom illustration created for a game promotion, illustrated in 2020 using ProCreate. My process with this project was to start off with a sketch to convey the initial idea to the client. On approval a final rendering was created in greyscale. This is done to ensure the final artwork has strong contrast and dark/light values. At this stage the final greyscale rendering was presented for feedback, revisions applied, and once the greyscale version is approved a final round of colour is added using a combination of gradient maps and colour layers. This is one of my favourites to this day and one of the first illustration where I applied the greyscale technique, still using it to this day. illustrator illustration graphicdesigner designer
    uniE621 Future Oceans Ad Design
    Future Oceans International is a pioneering non-profit organization dedicated to advancing oceanic research and conservation initiatives through innovative wearable art and immersive fashion events. They came to me a while back looking looking for a series of ads, across print and digital, to promote their up and coming fashion show. After being briefed and reviewing their brand guidelines a series of ads were created with a unifying look and feel, tying in with the shows overall theme of nature and ocean conservation. Ads were created for print using Adobe InDesign in concert with Adobe Photoshop along with a series of accompanying digital ads for Facebook and Instagram.
    uniE621 BRB Pets Logo Design
    BRB Pets is a Toronto based online pet store that also designs innovative new products for pets. I was contacted a while back when they were initially starting off and asked to design a full branding package, including a logo, Shopify website, and a print brochure to show off their new products. For the logo process, some initial sketches were created alongside a few colour pallets and font selections. From there a few variations were created in Adobe Illustrator. Once we had a solid winner, we were set with the main components for our brand.
    uniE621 Sci-Fi Book Cover Concept
    This was a custom illustration created as a book cover concept, illustrated in 2024 using Clip Studio Paint. My process with this project was to start off with a very basic set of greyscale thumbnails to convey the initial idea. Then the chosen thumbnail is refined into into foreground, mid ground and background shapes and refined further into a detailed greyscale rendering. Once the greyscale version is approved a final round of colour is added using a combination of gradient maps and colour layers. Another one of my favourites.
    uniE621 On Deck Skateboard Graphics
    On Deck has been Ottawa’s premiere skate shop since 1988. A while back they approached me to create some custom skateboard graphics for the shop. An initial set of concepts were sketched out, then once a couple were approved the designs were created using a mix of Adobe photoshop and InDesign. I still see some of these decks around my home town. As a former skateboard kid, its quite an honour to have someone choose a board I’ve designed. graphicdesigner illustrator
    uniE621 Three Squares Logo Design
    Three Square was a company that specialized in making Bento style lunch boxes for kids. They approached me a while back to create a logo for the launch of their new brand. They requested an illustrated logo, with a company mascot that would appeal to both kids and parents. A few initial sketches were created with one instantly standing out. Once approved a few final renderings were created with various colour pallets and font selections. A final version was then chosen and accompanying artwork was created for the inserts of the lunch boxes.
    uniE621 Footwork Logo and T-Shirt Design
    FootWork is a local DJ group operating around Ottawa. They approached me a while back to design a logo and print piece for their first show. They had a clear vision in mind for what they wanted. Some initial sketches where created. Then once approved, a final logo rendering was created in Adobe Illustrator. An accompanying print piece was then created using Adobe InDesign. logo graphicdesigner illustrator designer
