Here's a sample of some photos brought back from the brink. The oval photo also shows the sepia tone reaplied after the restoration was finished. Some folks like the "antique quality" of the original... as much of that can be removed as you desire.

Some very large banners (83" h) for the magician David Avadon's lobby display... (vector art created in Adobe Illustrator)

Here are some posters I created for David Avadon. davidavadon.com

Political imagery respectively created in Illustrator and Photoshop (caricature of Myers with ink/brush), OJ created for MadTV coffee mug as part of the "Trial of the Century" fine chinaware (order now) ... the bloody glove soup bowl was cut before filming. :) (watercolor with prismacolor pencils). Below is a quicky for Move-ON in Photoshop.

The SUMMER VACATION samples below are a VERY small sampling of what I created over the last three years or so with Rothstein & Memsic- they do great work there and their web site rmideas.com is a great source for marketing and brand development. The GIFTED AND TALENTED workbooks were done for Lowell House.

While at R & M, I also have done a great deal of traditional and non-traditional catalogue layout for Sally Foster and extensive photo retouching, I've created many comps for covers and innards, in addition to logos, packaging, marker renderings and general brand development. I'd be happy to show you samples of my work with R & M in person. Most of my work there is less illustration centered than what you see on this page.

 

Steve Barkhimer approached me to design a new cover for his CD. I created the illustrations through Bryce and Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop.

By the way, the music is really good. I'm big on lyrics and he is an excellent lyricist. The album deals a lot with the passage of time and all the things we learn by the time we hit 40 or so... The style of music varies a bit from peppy to introspective. There is a particularly beautiful song called IF YOU ASK ME. If you check out his website or CDBABY, you can still see the old cover that this replaced which makes him look like an axe murderer instead of a singer that sings beautiful ballads.

Graphics- Paul Manchester

Usually when I'm doing graphics projects, I'm doing them through an intermediary business of some sort. As they or their clients are the copyright holder of the work, I'll generally not post those samples here- though I can show you some of those samples in person. But here are a few projects I've done for clients on my own.

I'm proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark.
