Proposal to change 'blue gorilla' graphics. I visited CityWalk recently and noticed they've since gone with something almost identical to the original graphic. Sigh.
There was a concern that my 'blue gorilla' illustration was too scary. I responded with a smile.
Illustration for a fully-dimensional gorilla. Way too expensive, but fun to paint.

environmental graphics / design
One of my favorite kinds of work. Environmental graphics and design was a skill I picked up as an intern at Universal Studios, Hollywood and honed as a full-time designer when they hired me out of college. The multi-disciplined nature of working with small to monumental spaces, lighting and illumination, and materials and fabrication (not to mention budgets!) is as challenging as it is fulfilling.
