After the success of the flat style with my client's holiday work, I figured I should commit to expressing it in my portfolio. This illustration will end up on the "about" page of my site (instead of my ugly mug, haha). I know it's a bit cliche to do this whole "illustration of my tools" thing, but it conveys information and it's in a style that some clients have found appealing, so why not?
As for the tools illustrated so far:
The mighty Macbook Pro, for designing all things digitally.
- and my 2 most useful objects away from the studio -
A Field Notes notebook for sketching & writing stuff.
My iPhone (specifically with the Clear app).
Finally cleared enough time to finish this tool illustration for my site. I figured it says a bit more than just putting a picture of my face. To see the full thing, you can check it out on my about page:
Some of the objects featured are:
- Backup hard drive
- Sketch book
- My trusty Pentax K-5
- A classy No. 8 Opinel knife
- Space Pen
- Copic Markers
- Wacom Tablet
- Magic Mouse
- Headphones

Thanks, I'm really liking this style and the challenge of being direct as possible visually while still adding some character/details.
