Joplin Elementary School Coloring Book

Today I got to go to West Central Elementary in Joplin to present the kindergarteners with a coloring book that the marketing team at the Joplin Admin Building put together.  I got to help create digital illustrations of a Joplin High Schools students drawings.  It was a lot of fun to hand these out.  Eddie the Eagle came along to rial up the kiddos.  They were so excited to hug the enlarged bird it was actually pretty cute.  They cheered when they were going to graduate...2025...geez that is forever away haha.  Anyways I handed out the coloring books to cheerful kids and got my picture taken by some of the Joplin marketing team as well as from some Tv stations and the Joplin Globe.  It is great to see little ones enjoy something so simple.  Kind of jealous ;) Anyways here are some pics of the book which was actually drawn by my cousins son, Jeremiah Johnson.  Didn't even recognize the kid, since I haven't seen him since he was like 9! Crazy fun day.

Logo Process: Filter Brothers

My long time buddy is on his way back to Austin for one of his entrepruneur ventures here in a few weeks and came to me to create a logo for him for his company, Filter Brothers, a pool filter service that cleans and restores filters in personal in-ground pools.  I had one of my business cards around and he thought something like what I had done for my fictitious company "Wagon Design" would be kind of cool.  Less talking and more showing.  Long story short he digs the logo and will be heading down to Austin with a stack of business cards and a pricing sheet to get him started.

Inspiration laying on my desk from my fictitious company "Wagon Design Studio"

Celebrated a birthday at Mucho Mexico came back and was thrown this thing to design... A picture of a cement worker and the tool they used so we could give out certificates for certified Cement Nozzlemen.
