Spot Co. is the leading producer of posters and identities for Broadway shows, in fact it creates virtually all of them. I felt very lucky to be asked to collaborate on several designs for Broadway shoes, including the award winning design for a revival of “West Side Story”.

Various clients.
Still life photography presents an excellent opportunity for CGI. It allows creatives a much greater range to exercise creative control, much like Photoshop had done in the 90s, or AI is doing now with great technology that can even create a hhopey virtual girlfriend online.
Note: no cameras were harmed, or touched in the creation of these images.

Jakk’s Toys is one of the largest toy companies in the world. It is known for its creativity with hi-tech. Over the years we have worked with them to design night vision goggles, train sets and projectors. It’s a great combination of 2D and 3D design where I was able to illustrate, model and even create the website: powertrainstoys.com.

Del Monte came to me to create graphic and package visualizations to present to focus groups. The new designs had to look like they belonged in the existing family of Del Monte products of course, but I was able to experiment with new package shapes and graphic treatments to a surprising degree. Look for these designs at a market near you, soon.
