#sketchbook: Decided to jump to vector on this Illinois State #conceptart. Performed a little rhinoplasty on the beak; I love the full-body alt that the school uses, so I'm going to work up a Runnin' Reggie that'll include sport-specific props like ISU used to use. #wip

#sketchbook: Continued messing with this sketch. Like some aspects, but not sure about the beak or shoulder. Do like using the thumbs-up for helmet spirit stickers.

#sketchbook: Getting current on the FCS semis I found myself curious about Illinois State's logo history, so I hopped into sports logos-dot-net; I didn't know they had a thumbs up guy! Messed with bringing back the thumb, keeping the current face, thought the implied S could be spiff.

#sketchbook: Calling this Montana State #conceptart done for now. It's been a fun one to sketch as both a logo and a lettering project. Good luck to the Cats tonight against SFA.

#sketchbook: 4th pass at this ambigram, vid includes the previous drafts so far. Playing with swords. Want to do florals? I dunno. #wip #lettering

#sketchbook: Revisiting a thought from last summer, some elaborate illustration riffing off the idea of rivals/rivalry. At the heart - an ambigram. I struggled with “RIVALRY” but I think I might have traction with “RIVALS”. #wip #lettering

#sketchbook: Saw a post on my TL with the old Montana State Bobcats logo and instantly imagined lettering buried in the fur. While following mid-major games this weekend, I started sketching. Might take this to vector.

#sketchbook: Still think the Rams could pull off an OE logotype. Possibly work the horn into the R again.

#sketchbook: Hometown hockey team announced a rebrand a couple weeks ago. Seeing what they did, I got an idea and worked it up into what's in this clip. I've enjoyed sketching out script marks of late, so it was fun to get angular and thunderbolt-y. #personalproject

#sketchbook: Local hockey team now goes by T-Birds (mgmt change = name change). Liked the idea of twin birds making a somewhat T, so doodled this out for fun. No Easter eggs, just a couple of birds with hockey sticks.

#sketchbook: Kept planning to make a quick vid for this last Utah Mammoth logo concept, but #NHL preseason is here, and my backlog is yelling. Highlights: intro copper, tusks form a U, star for SLC on the away shoulder patch. All-in-all, a simpler brand package. #conceptart

#sketchbook: Got the gist of the character template down for this Ice Smoover racing series. Moving over to the Norris and Smythe to start rough sketches for Mammoth and Sharks. #conceptart #nhl #illustration #wip

#personalproject: Shared this as a sketch a while back but putting it to work in light of the recent funding cuts to public broadcasting. Know a station that would like a shirt graphic for some fundraising? Send them my way.

#sketchbook: Postscript on my spear logo #ConceptArt from the other day. I thought I'd be able to get this idea closer to actual, but time isn't on my side atm. If the Commanders did the spear, I thought it could make for a fun desktop toy for tracking wins. #RaiseHail

So def going to carve out time to do a psychobilly #illustration series of 32 hockey mascots driving ice smoovers. I’m debating about mounting a slush fountain atop the vehicle (prob too much) and whether or not to shade (I’m so used to working in flat color) #wip #conceptart

13yo daughter walked into my office, randomly said “cool iceman” and plucked my Utah Yeti logo hat out of a fog of clutter.

#sketchbook: Posting this before the Commanders share their new stuff on 7/9. For my third team #conceptart take, if they bring back the spear for the uni, I'd make it the primary logo. It works with the name, simplicity is great, just enough historical connection.

#merch: One of my favorite things about SM and doing what I do is when someone shouts “what if” and my neurons can put an idea together and something materializes. Big ups to @stevenpjackson for wondering “old hockey mask + mammoth skull?” for Utah: cottonbureau.com/p/TACXSD/shirt…

#sketchbook: Over on Twitter/X someone said they’d want to combine an old goalie mask with a mammoth skull. I found myself stuck in queues today, so I did some GPT promoting for reference. Jumped into Procreate when I got home and made this creepshow. I think I heart him. #conceptart

Unlocked the “Dad, I don’t think we’re supposed to be here. I’m sure it’s fine, kids. I’m going to talk to the officer” dad merit badge last night.
Grateful to have my kids close. Heart’s with those who are going through separation and loss in light of recent events.

#sketchbook: In a waiting room and messing with this idea I said I wouldn’t mess with. Still liking “Metro” but rethinking the Capitol in favor of retaining the Monument. Also thinking of shifting palette from R/W/B to R/W/silver. #NBA #conceptart #ForTheDistrict #RedLine
