SCARY PERRY

heres a job i was happy to work on. i was given the task of taking a scanned image and turn it into a vector line graphic. doing this allows you to resize the image without losing quality because its now made of digital points and lines which are connected instead of pixels.

heres the graphic i made using Illustrator...


and heres the original scan...

i scanned in the page and traced over the blue pencil with a black vector line. then added some color a background and a border. im sure it could be used somewhere just havent thought of for what or where to use it.

B&B HARDWARE

i had posted these before but then took them down cause i wanted to resize them. these are some ideas developed for bumps & bruises skate shop. its for their skateboard hardware which are the screws and nuts that hold the trucks onto the board. before i joined the bumps crew they had already established characters that had that "simpsons" look to them. you know, big bug eyes and that weird lip thing. so i used that same style for the characters and put them in some skating situations. ouch!
