Oodles of Doodles
Decided to archive some of my doodles here. So, here's a little collection of some sketchies that have built up... More to come. VIVA LA DOODLE!

Word Nerd, Vol. II
Hey guys! Another doodle-to-final typography-attempt here. Thought it'd be fun to start a little patriotic series of these "mantras." Let me know what you think of 'em! *salute*

Word Nerd, Vol. I
I like words. A bunch. You might call me a word nerd. And then, I may bow deeply and tip my hat or pencil to you. Many, many times, my doodles take the form of some word or phrase.
In an unending attempt to improve on my hand lettering skills, I've been playing with type a lot lately. I certainly don't claim to be a type designer, but it's fun to draw/illustrate letters - and get a better understanding of how each letter form works.
Here's a little before & after trial. Let me know what you think!

Working It Out
Don't know if my subconscious is telling me it's time to get back into the gym, but this little guy showed up in my sketchbook today. Since he was breaking a sweat and all, I figured the least I could do was let him say "hello" (and show his guns) on the blog.

Amazing? Just a Tad...
So, it turns out, the only thing cooler than getting to meet one of your favorite, rock star illustrator/designers is finding out that they're super-down-to-Earth, generous, and humble.
That was my experience this weekend meeting Tad Carpenter. What a great guy! It was very inspiring to hang out with someone so passionate about his/our industry and about life as a creative-type. ('We get to do this!')
Saturday morning, Tad (and AAF Acadiana) offered a branding & illustration workshop. It ended up being a room filled with a bunch of my favorite Lafayette doodlers & designers, just doing what we all love to do.
Tad had us pull a random animal and city out of a hat, and create a restaurant brand based on the two. I pulled 'Alligator' & 'Las Vegas' and was inspired to combine the just-under-the-surface, lurky behavior of a gator and the casino culture of the strip into a Bar & Grill called 'The Lucky Lurker."
Thanks, Tad, for bringing your creative spark to Cajun Country!

C'mon Get Happy!
Hey guys! I wanted to play around with color, using some happy face doodles I had done a while ago. It ended up looking like a grinning little family. I like where it's going, so I may add some pets and more kids. Whataya think?
