Communication Arts Award

Communication Arts has included the work of Schwartzrock Graphic Arts among the winners of its 56th annual illustration competition. Five of our pencil illustrations for Target's Instagram Back-to-School Campaign were selected from 4,313 entries. The process? We were holed up in a photo studio for two and a half days with the art director, photographer, and stylist, brainstorming these whimsical ideas. What a blast!

Bim Bam Boo Packaging

I'm happy to see my client, Ecosentials, is finally showing off their new brand and packaging Schwartzrock Graphic Arts created for them.  We had a blast strategizing with Zoe and Phil over the new brand name, brand voice and visual messaging around a fantastic new paper fiber: bamboo!

LogoLounge Top 10

I made LogoLounge's top 10 list.  My buddy Von beat me out again! :)

Lawn Service

Here's a quick logo design I did recently for a lawn service.  Question, are all lawn service logos green? :)

Rush Hour Animation

Once we had drawn all of the comic strips for the NorthstarMLS' Rush Hour campaign, we wanted to see if an animation would drive more interest.  Click on the image below and let me know which you prefer better.

RE Rush Hour Comics

Here's the comic strips I co-created with the great people at NorthstarMLS… to educate their clients on the dry rules of the MLS.  This is such a creative and powerful campaign for the rules and regulations department.  

Big Ass Logo

The incredibly talented Von Glitschka asked me to offer ideas as he developed a logo system for his client, Big Ass.  BA has different product departments, so they wanted to brand each product division separately.  In the end, my logo ideas didn't make the final cut, but it was a lot of fun to work on none the less!
