The Fierce Heart

This is the cover of a book I designed for Anne Zick. It was a wonderful project to be involved in. Anne had written many poems and she and I worked together to design this book. I had it printed in a small press run for friends and family. I utilized stock photo imagery and the font used was Kaligraf Latin for its Celtic feel. She past away shortly after the book was printed.


Here is a sample of the interior pages.
The woman in the photo is Anne Zick, standing with her husband, Edward.


Elevations Credit Union Mural

This was a local design contest to paint a mural on a wall of shipping crates in a conference room at a bank. The wall was 28' long. I submitted my design and was selected as a finalist. The general public then voted on their favorite and a winner was selected. It wasn't me. Anyway, the design was a simple rendition of the view of Longs Peak from Longmont, with different shades of blue illustrating the foothills. Swirls were added to the sky to simulate the wind (it gets pretty windy here!) with pine trees in the foreground. Again, this design will only see the light of day on this blog.
