Literally bought a thermal label printer JUST to do this lol.
A bottle of olive oil with a pouring spout that has a white, hand drawn, printed label saying "Olive Oil" but the O in Olive is an olive with a few leaves coming off it. A bottle of avocado oil with a pouring spout that has a white, hand drawn, printed label saying "Avocado Oil" but the O in Avocado is an avocado split in half

Took a couple months to finally get the gusto to make this, but so glad I did. I've been craving some pasta salad for literally like a year and this Ina Garten recipe with tomato, kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, and feta really really hit the spot. 🍜
A metal bowl full of spiral pasta, tomato, kalamata olives, feta, and some chopped spinach on a (fake) wood countertop with some utensils splayed in the background.

Giving your attention to the beauty of this planet we call home, in return, gives you awe. And that gives you fuel. And we could all use a bit more fuel right now.

A client of mine runs quite a few Air BnBs and wanted to make a formal brand identity for that portion of their business. Busted this out in about 45 minutes as a concept prior to making the full mini brand identity. What do you think?

(P.S., I was not consulted on the name lol) #graphicdesign
Four logo variations of "World Staycations". The first one being with a pineapple slightly tilted to the left of "world" stacked on top of "staycations" with pineapple rounds replacing the Os in both words. The second being the words "world staycation" in a circle around a pineapple in the center. "EST" and "2025" flanking the pineapple within the circle on the left and right. One dotted circular line around the pineapple, and then another solid line around the text. Completing it is a pineapple round in the gap between "world" and "staycations". Third is "world" and "staycations" stacked on top of each other with the Os replaced with pineapple rounds and then on top and bottom is a pineapple cut in half. Fourth is the same "world" and "staycations" stacked on top of each other with the Os replaced with pineapple rings, except with the pineapple top half sideways on the left and right side of "world".

Trying my hand at taking the bottoms of green onions and regrowing them. Not sure why I never tried before. They immediately started growing. 🤣
A handful of green onion root stocks growing in a small glass jar with water in it.

Hi there! Just thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. My name's Mickey; project manager and graphic designer by day; illustrator, writer, and multimedia artist by night.

Just trying to make sense of the sheer expansiveness of life through whatever means I can find.
Simple illustration of a the side perspective of an orange bus on a road with some mountains in the background, framed in an arch with some exhaust coming out of the tailpipe of the bus. A flat illustration of a wreath with a few green leaves, a purple flower, and a yellow sunflower with the text "share with purpose" in the center. An illustration of some cactus on a sky blue background with feint clouds. There's one violet cactus blossom. In the sky, there is script text that reads "off somewhere" with an appearance resembling clouds. An abstract illustration of a sphere split down the center with a wavy line. On the left is a series of red pyramids, behind it is a few leaf-like objects poking out covered in thorns. On the right is a simpler, light blue area covered in circles. Within the circles are a series of branches with red dots at the ends. At the top and bottom of the illustration, there is text that reads "The anger, fear and desperation that stems from injustice and inequality manifests in boundless forms and does not ask for approval."
