Tri-Beta Crest

I was approached by a client wanting to purchase an old design I did a couple years back, but I didn't feel comfortable selling that design because it no longer represented my illustrating abilities (the old design is still on my account from the Emptees days, but it's definitely not up to Mintees standards). So, I took the opportunity to revisit the scientific symbolism of Tri-Beta, a biological honors society of which I was a member in college. The client went for a one-color print to keep costs low, but I like this two-color option.

Crest of Ignatius

This is an unused design for my medical school. They took a different design that was more marketable a wider age range.

It's a re-interpretation of their logo, the crest of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He was a 15th century Spanish knight-turned-priest who founded the Jesuits. He was known for his prosperity and generosity, including sharing his food with wild animals after his family and workers were fed.

Phenomenal

I painted a little watercolor for my father-in-law's birthday. He's an avid hunter. And he often emphatically describes things as "phe-NOM-enal."
