It has been a busy week for me. I was out in L.A. art directing a photo shoot of Cirque du Soleil from Monday to Tuesday night. I took the red-eye back to Philly that night to get in Wednesday morning to swap bags with my apartment and drop into work. Then headed up to New York for a rehearsal dinner on Wednesday night and a wedding on Friday. In between trying to get sleep I did this illustration for a label contest for Hell-Bent Brew Co.
Hell-Bent is the home brewing company I am a part of with a few friends. Most of us except our Brewmaster Dan (who is to blame for our delicious recipes), are graphic designers so we had a little competition for our first label (pumpkin ale). Hope you enjoy the illustration. And go check out or brewing site!

These are coasters I made for my friends Mike & Michelle’s wedding. I enjoyed them. They enjoyed them. I hope you do too.

These are two illustrations I did for thank yous to my 30th Birthday. The 3-0 hand symbol is on the outside and then the thumbs up is on the inside. When you lift the card it creates a flip-book-like animation just like animation above. Enjoy.

I recently had the chance to create a quick mock up of a super-hero illustration in the awesome style of Batman: The Animated Series.  The project ended up going in another direction but it was fun little  project. I took out the logos to share the generic version.

About

Hi, I'm Dave. That's me up there saying "It's All Kryptonese" in Kryptonese. I am a designer and illustrator living in Philly. This is where I ramble about art, design, comic books, Superman, and my life. Hopefully it all doesn't sound like another language. Feel free to check out my portfolio at DaveTomko.com.
