Me and Ryker visited my wife Alyssa at her school's zoo trip.
We went to the SEP Homecoming Parade down the street from our house and Ryker filled his bucket with candy. There was a beautiful sunset too!
He is going to be a big brother!
My wife is pregnant and should be due in May 2016. We are so excited!
I entered three photos in the Iowa State Fair photography competition and two got awards and will be on display on the 3rd floor of the Patty & Jim Cownie Cultural Center. Last year I entered three photos and got two displayed and one Honorable Mention. So I think will probably enter 4 photos for sure next year to guarantee my 1st place ribbon.
Here are a few photos from my trip to Disney World. I will add more soon.
A past client came to me with a logo design job for a new project he is doing legal work for.
Secured Futures is an endeavor created by Bill Berg, a financial planner. He has a special needs child and he is now specializing in special needs financial planning.
I started with the concept and tried to work in a family as well as the Iowa flag in the icon.
I refined the curves of the illustration and dropped the Iowa flag theme to make it friendlier to match the website design.
The client loved it. I will update this post with the site design and a link once it goes live.
Update: Their developer finished the website. Check it out at securedfuturesia.com
This is a campaign that I worked on with the GIADC Creative Campaign team. The creative was developed by me and Hayley Peterson and led by Brian Tallman. I designed the digital/animated ads and Hayley designed the print ads. I also designed the logo because the client didn't have a consistent one. I based it off the look of their building and used neon letters because the locals know them by their neon sign.

We went to the zoo for Mother's Day and I got some great family photos and a few animal/nature shots for my portfolio.
