Brewing up publicity for Sustainable Happyness.

For no reason here is a library story

 The first image is just a mockup, but the construction of the final relied on buckets of hot glue and a single giant branch that broke off of a sycamore tree during an ice storm.  there was enough sap in the twigs that they were pliable, and you can get an object like that to hold its shape if you bind it next to another object, so paper tape was used to pair the twigs.  the thick part of the branch was sliced using a belt saw, that's the name right?

I had a design commission for Harter House Meats for their facebook page.  The assets were all provided or edited from their website, but the cover layout was mostly my decision.  Facebook cover photo rules demand only 20 percent of the cover can be text and I'm told that it uses a somewhat crude sector-based tool to verify, which can force your placement a bit, here's a link to what I was directed to use if you are curious. Harter House in Springfield has REALLY NICE cuts.

I'll be posting some sketches for a project called Tales From the Queen City, which is a planned comic book companion to an upcoming web series called T.B.D. ("To Be Determined" that is, I mean the actual title).
