Memphis WBB Booster Club T-Shirt Design

The Memphis women's basketball team had me dust off the old illustration skills for this one. Their booster club wanted a T-shirt design for their upcoming game against New Orleans. All they asked for was to have the head coach in an airplane and for me to get creative from there. I had a lot of fun with this one, giving the plane some tiger stripes and throwing in a couple saxophones to reference New Orleans musical heritage. I didn't want to do too much to take away from the the big ol' plane roarin' into town. I also went with a goofy font since the club wanted this to be a fun piece. It was nice to be able to do a little illustration again.

U of M Facebook Covers and Twitter BG's

Happy New Year to all! I am not a big New Year's resolution guy, but this year I am going to try and be a little more consistent with this here ol' blog. I am going to try and update it with at least one post per week of the stuff I am working on. I will start with my 200th post being some Facebook covers and Twitter backgrounds I worked on for the Memphis Women's Basketball team right before the New Year. I have a couple samples of both shown above. I did one of each for the four coaches, keeping the same basic framework around each. I am all about keeping unity on things like these for a team as it helps one to easily relate all the coaches to one another and gives a defined look to the team. Here's to a productive 2013 to all!

As part of my work with the women's basketball team, I have been working on some new stationery designs for the hand written items that the team sends out to its recruits. Below are a few different items I have done so far:

U of M Women's Basketball: Meet the Players

I have been working with the University of Memphis' women's basketball program along with their football program for the past few months now and wanted to start uploading some pieces I have done for them. Above is a series of pieces introducing the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores to their recruits. I left a blank spot in the middle of each piece for them to insert a typed letter to the recruits. This has been one of my favorite pieces I have done for the basketball team up to this point so far. I've really enjoyed using smoke as a texture on the pieces I have done for them. To me it adds a cool mystique to the piece.
