Eleanor Wasson estimates that she
has had over 28,000 martinis during cocktail hour, her only vice, she says.
I had the pleasure of designing her biography and the book's jacket.
"This is the story of an extraordinary woman who transforms the life of everyone she meets. She is our elder, the wise one. You can meet her in this book and feel the presence of a remarkable human being, one who has devoted her life to serving others."

The Mountain Mandarin Festival
cerebrates their 10th anniversary.
During the last eight of those years
Jan Kapple has painted the artwork.
This year she incorportated all but two of the past paintings
into her "bags of mandarins." When the project came to me as
the designer, I was asked to somehow add the other two.
This poster was featured in
an article in the Sacramento Bee.
I was the Advertising and PR coordinator for Santa Rosa Junior College's SpringFest'04. In that position, I created the graphics, the poster, the postcards, and the mini posters that we hung up all over the campus—each week with a new message. My team also created radio spots and sent out press releases to the local news.
The poster is to the left.
The full festival pass
holders to the
Sebastopol Celtic Music Festival received
an invitation
to a reception hosted by the board of directors.
Sebastopol Community Center wanted something elegant for their annual fundraiser, yet they wanted to keep the costs as low as possible.
I designed this to be folded using an accordian fold. We printed it inhouse on a color laser printer.

I drew this using Adobe Illustrator and a Waccom tablet.

This ad was for a Cigar-B-Q to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Windsor. I appreciated the irony and had fun with it.
I found these characters in a clip art CD then altered them in Adobe Illustrator to work with my design and the cigar theme.

These post cards were sent out to past Celtic Festival volunteers to encourage early response. They were very effective in filling the slots earlier than in prior years.

The marketing manager came to me one afternoon explaining that the editorial department needed to plug their upcoming Baseball Section. The artist that was assigned the project went home sick.
"No problem," said I. "When do you need it?"
"They need it approved and on the page in 30 minutes."
This was the result.
