Tools: Photoshop, Flash
Backstory: This is an illustration of my dad. I made it based off of the photo of me & him from a couple years ago. Apparently it’s a rare occasion to see him smile, so the project was extra affective. I went back and forth with critiques from friends and especially other family members trying to nail this. The idea was to illustrate him in a timeless minimalist and simple fashion, but doing the subject absolute justice at the same time. His signature Serengeti aviator sunglasses and beard were a lot of fun to draw up.

Location: Oakland CA, San Francisco Bay Area California

Backstory: I’ve been gigging a lot with a real estate auction company doing their live sound and gear transport. I occasionally come out from behind the curtain to socialize with the bidders. One of the bidders and I established a really great rapport and we genuinely enjoy one anothers’ presence. I handed him my business card one day and a few weeks later he fetched me a new client.
Up and coming powerhouse company in the luxury real estate field located in the San Francisco Bay area, On Point Luxury Estates  founder Rebecca Williams was in need of some quick & sharp web design. She looked to DoggHouse Productions  and the project was crushed within 2 weeks.
