This is were I say a farewell...(tear)



This is going to be my last post, I will leave this up for reference and all that good stuff, BUT I am moving on to bigger and better things....I am nearing my graduation of school some time in 2011 and I am going to be busy updating artwork, designing web pages and all that fun stuff. I am putting off Pickle Designs LLC for now and maybe some time in the future I can put together a great creative team and make some mad money being a big boss of a design firm. The future is wide open! Thanks to all those that have visited this site and even though not much traffic goes through this blog - thanks for all the support!

I am updating my work at the moment, you can visit this site often to see when is is up > go to >
rp11portfolio.com to see my artwork! (probably like December or January)

Peace out and remember -

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

My Art/Charity Project - Donate to help!

I am testing some drafts to go on some shirts for a self-promo and to sale them for a good cause! 10% of my sales on the t-shirts I am going to be donating to the SLEEP APNEA ASSOCIATION to help fund research and to assist in educating and helping those that suffer from this crippling issue that effects more and more Americans every day. Look for more updates or a link to a blog for this cause in the future, I am still working out some things and want to sell shirts people want to wear - we all need a I HEART ROBOT SHIRT, right? If you like this art and would want it to be produced - let me know at pickle.designs@yahoo.com

Afghanistan Water Polo? Logo Re-design.

Well, I am lucky enough to get work via facebook, it is truly amazing to utilize social networking! My old friend has been working with the Afghanistan water polo team and wanted me to redesign the logo for the pride of the country, no pressure. As I see it is a great opportunity to get my name out and maybe internationally..never know right. I am in the middle of the design now and have to say with the collaboration of my friend and me it is coming along nicely and a rough draft will be sen this week; Hopefully there will be limited changes and we are good to go (in my dreams right... there is always some minor changes before the official launch. I am posting this link to the story and background of this and maybe it will inspire you. Go to - http://www.afghanistanwaterpolo.com/

Focused on design and becoming a Brand Designer.

Let me sum it up for those interested, I have decided to take my strengths and run with it. What does that mean? Well, in short realizing my artistic strengths and making that adjustment to follow my dream. I love typography vector illustrations and design. I love logos and the whole branding of a company is amazing and intense. In the coming year my focus is on brand design and research, and to take that knowledge to the people who need it. There are companies right now that can improve sales, clean up there customer perception by simply using a graphic designer. One that is skilled in relating a companies image onto a graphic usable element. I am passionate about doing Logo design and the process called branding. I find that that is what I enjoy the most is working on logos and providing solution to business every were, "Whats my identity". Of course using all my skills  to maintain  the current trends, to push the current trends. I have posted some logo designs below for your viewing pleasure. Various Logo's below.
