Cool Cats Beatnik Hipster Paperback Book Poster
I love the look of vintage paperback books and this one was inspired by the Penguin Pelican books that were popular back in the 1960s. These fun images were in Illustrator's symbols palette and the elements came together like paper dolls. I chose Jack Kerouac as the author since he was such an icon of the Beatnik era.

World Clocks Black and White Poster
It's a little geeky but I still think a wall of clocks showing global time is cool. When I was younger, knowing the time around the world was exotic, not just a Google search.

A purple cow is in fine company with a heard of like minded Holsteins in complementary colors. The other cows are green, red, blue, orange and yellow. The text says "be complementary".
I was asked to make a landscape version; it's not my favorite but it works. Behold the power of oddly colored cows.
