Pipeline Pete will be a mascot for a trucking company safety program. He is a concrete pipe and will help promote safety anyway he can.

I was commisioned to create a logo for another company. These guys already had an idea and sketch of what they wanted. They just needed someone to make their idea come alive. This will be on the side of those sand trucks in the DFW area so if you see one you’ll know where it came from. Also stay clear of those trucks for your benefit and theirs.

If you have any need for illustration design I can either create it for you or help you locate something for your needs. The designs I do the most tend to be for car related projects like logos and flyers for car shows. 

This Model A pictured here is something I’d like to build one day. It’s a good example of an illustration. Something like this illustration could be made for print as well and given as a gift. Z

Here is a shirt design I recently updated from a few years back. It was mostly made for fellow truck enthusiests over at 67-72chevytrucks.com. The original didn’t have the pinstriping or the word “Trucks”. I got a little flack from some folks about if a pickup could even be considered a true “Hot Rod” in the traditional sense of the label. I don’t care. I understand the definitions and can appreciate the concept, but all I am talking about here are guys who like to “soup-up” their trucks. Enjoy. I have a few of these left for sale in limited sizes so e-mail me for info.

Just finished this one. The customer wanted a demask style chandelier-ish logo. Came out pretty cool I think…

Here is a design I am currently working on for a classic car club. This is not the final design but is a work in progress.

Original art work from an early 1960's ad campaign.

My family and I visited the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco today. I had never been and saw some really interesting things. They had a lot of ad art work that I didn’t think I would see there. Then I realized, why wouldn’t I see it? It’s a part of the history. The brand has been through numerous changes. Some good and some bad. The one common element is the maroon color. That has seemed to stand the test of time. We also got to see all the packaging from over ther years. Some I had seen before and some I had never seen. I was a cool place to visit and now my wife and I already have our sites on a Coca-Cola Plant/Museum type visit.

Have you seen these before?

Illustration

Let’s get things started. This is a personal piece I did for myself. It’s an illustration of an exsiting car but I changed the color and added a “driver. This is something I have printed and will frame for my self.

I decided to redesign the site to help display my designs a little easier. I like this format because it keeps the site fresh and it is easier for me to update with images of whatever I am currently working on. I can also add comment with my images postings as well. I hope you enjoy the new format. -Andy
