Finished another freelance job. It’s another promo flyer, except this time, instead of a club, it’s a BOAT! Client was happy with the design. I’m happy with the product especially considering the time constraint I had to work with.
SORRENTI CHERRY VALLEY VINEYARDS
I was able to enjoy a long weekend in the Poconos. Always nice to get away from the city. While I was out there, I took at tour and wine tasting of the Sorrenti Family Vineyards. It’s a small vineyard apart of the Cherry Valley in Stroudsburg, PA. Gaines a little knowledge of the wine making process. Saw this antique wine press.
Also got to see the bottle filling station, where obviously, they fill the bottles with wine but also slap the labels on.
Barrels and Barrels of wine.
Didn’t get to see the full vineyard, but they had some small vines out front.
It was a cool little experience. Makes me consider a Napa Valley trip. I’m in need of a vacation bad.
PAPER X-MEN
I posted about some paper character models a while back (Click here to see post), and I recently found this blog from a guy who has dedicated his site to paper models of characters from the Marvel Universe.
I thought the first models I saw were great, but these models blow them out of the park. Not only are the characters more complex, but some of them come with backgrounds and display stands, all made of paper.
All characters, have templates available for download, so that you can create your own. So definitely, check out his site, My Paper Heroes.
INTERESTING DAY AT WORK
My company has been pitching custom promotional items to the Chiquita Brand Co. So, I have been spending a large part of the week creating a lot of banana shaped items. Along with the many phallic connotations that have been made with creating some of these items, some of them have been downright comical. I was asked to create a slipper for the presentation, and below is one of the mock ups I did.
Pretty funny, huh?! Too bad they aren’t going to use it. I would have loved to have gotten a pair.
“NUH BORING WHINE” FLYER
Just completed a new flyer design for a party next month. It was a well needed freelance job. Went for a pop look. A little more graphic than I’m used to doing. It was fun though.
OLD SKETCH
I found this old sketch of mine when i was cleaning off my flash drive. I did it for a sketch challenge for TenTonStudios.com. It’s my redesign of Marvel character, Majik. Kinda still like it, but it’s also a reminder of how far I’ve come and how far I’ve got to go.
