I've been working on a few private projects in my spare time. The first is a business card I worked up for Casual Connect and other events. I edited the typography on one of my portfolio images to work as a promotional piece with my information. It is fantastically fun to hand out "Admit One" ticket stubs instead of business cards. I did change my phone number for the web version, but you can still imagine what it looks like.
The other two are little side illustrations that I am working on in my spare time. The first is really close to completion. Most of the image is refined, I just have small objects and textures left to paint. The second one has been slower coming along. I've done about 6 color studies and I haven't found one that sings yet. I'm giving it a break for the time being and focusing on work illustrations. I'm hoping I'll have a better idea for it after I've given it some time alone.

love the business cards! They're really fun but still professional looking.

Thanks Hanna! I went through so many sketches that included new illustrations and when it came down to it, I just used something I already had, but it works. I'm hoping when I have a little more time to do a set with multiple different designs like yours.
