A very basic poster design which was a collaboration between Peg and Tabu. 

Royal Le Page gets a new Look!

When I was approached by Natalie Husband of Royal LePage Westin, she was wanting something very different from the current layouts being used, primarily am image of the Realtor and a random house with contact information. 

She was very proud of her new car so I suggested we focus on the body lines and base logo design. The end project was a well formed, solid impact vehicle graphics that has given her a bold stand out in the BC Interior, and a very identifiable advertising agent.

Bikes everywhere!

One of the most challenging positions I have follow up on, by either a staff member of as Peg DEsign, as been that of designing and painting for the bike industry. To this date, i still see a constant flow of my designs at any given day throughout the week. Now, i also designed a fair amount of snowboards for some of the same companies and have never seen a single board with my designs on them, well maybe a few...

The North Shore News had this on the front cover this past summer, and it blew me away that that particular bike was being raced, and that she did rather well with it. It was a price point of $259.00 back in 2002- 2004 and i think i was changed (frame wise) after then, so the bike basically was a low cost casual mountain bike, intended for weekend campgrounds, not a triathlon! I was very proud of this woman when i read this.

The above are some of the designs that made it out. The Cove bike was ridden by Trevor Porter, now currently with Kona for the 2003 World Cup in Scotland. The Graphics has incorporated sponsor logos and Rider names to flow along the frames curved design. The back end was a prototype at the time and so it was left with me to play around with while it was unfinished. The job was simple and i was never really paid for it, but Trevor did rebuild my front forks:) The Antelope was a fun set of graphics that was never used. The base bikes came in with an exist paint scheme that had two tone splits the client liked
and so i had to design 6 bikes all with blockers. Not many companies save Specialized, Giant and Trek use this technique, even with the newer printing methods available.

This is still an industry i would like to be more involved with and will be setting up my own dirt machine with new paint and matching graphics, which of course will be presented later on this blog.

Puff up and Burn

I have been told that I have no specific style. That my work is all over the place and thereby it's hard to decide on what to say or what style i best resemble. so i think i will create a series and pick it well, to make myself known by either creating a new look, or making copies of the best I find will represent me.

These two are just to examples of pencil and marker from years back. I love to keep the old ideas and grab from the pile of yet to be used work and go from there to make then useful. After all, we all just want to be useful to someone don't we;)
