Shadow Box
Conner Prairie Living History Museum recently launched a new Craft Corner area where visitors can create art using tools like wood, fabric, wax, glass, and graphite. The museum invited local artists specializing in the use of these materials to create a shadow box. I provided the box showcasing the use of ink.

CD Package
Professional musician and friend, Jesse Linder, produced a new album in 2014 entitled Ready for the Storm. He asked me to create original art, and design a CD package that "uniquely illustrates the nautical spirit of the music."

2013 Boy Scouts National Jamboree Patch and T-Shirt
The Crossroads of America Council saw hundreds of Boy Scouts and leaders from all over central Indiana go to the 2013 National Jamboree at the new Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. I was invited by the organizers of Jamboree Troop C-217 to design and illustrate the official t-shirt and trading patch.

I conceived and illustrated this colorful patch set featuring mythological creatures of Indiana....the Corn-Ogre, 99-Point Buck, Giant Squirrels, Soy-Eating Zombie, 3-Eye Walleye Fish and Man-Eating Mosquitos. Leadership asked for something fun for the boys, that didn't revolve around stereotypical Indy 500 racing or video game motifs.
