BK United dodgeball team logo design

BK United, a dodgeball team competing in Las Vegas at the 2009 NDL Nationals, were looking for a new logo for their uniforms. BK originally stood for Boogie Knights, so I created a shield graphic and settled on a royal blue and gold colour scheme. A simpler version would adorn alternate golf shirts.

By using only a single color, I kept printing costs low and simplified any future colour scheme changes. The dodgeball-clutching griffon is my favourite part, since I’ll probably never have another chance at drawing one.

My stock illustration knighted! Now called “Sir Fancy Rabbit”

Several months ago, somebody bought an extended license on an illustration of mine, from iStockPhoto. A friend found the image being used on apparel and accessories, shortly after, on Shanalogic. My illustration has been screenprinted onto several styles of messenger bags and t-shirts, and renamed “Sir Fancy Rabbit”.

It didn’t expect to see my work in use this way, but the most flattering part is the reception it’s gotten. The Bag Lady says, “I’m 37 and all these years I’ve been looking for a ‘field bag’ featuring a picture of a rabbit wearing a top hat and a monocle and I’ve finally found one!”

Here are a few pics of the items:

Of course, the original had more color. He’s what my illustration looked like before being monochromized!

A second design for the Vancouver Dodgeball League. In case it seems familiar, it’s a parody/reference to Magritte’s painting “The Son of Man”

Inspired by Japanese warning signs, I created this design for the Vancouver Dodgeball League. The boy is yelling “banzai!” and the caption just says “dodgeball!”

Hopefully it will be printed, but it was fun to do anyway!
