I recently accepted a Graphic Designer position with the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats. It feels so good to be back doing design work in professional sports. Its where my passion lies.

This is a part of web banner graphic concept I had for the Browns. I’ve been on kind of a HDR toning kick lately so I’m all about creating dramatic effects in photos without using a HDR filter (the easy way)
So without access to hi-res photos, I used the best I could find on Google images. You can see where I took a photo of McCoy (left) and created a rainy game day complete with cloudy skies, mist and rain dripping off of his helmet and jersey. If you look closely (click on image for closer look), you can also see the Cleveland skyline behind the ticket message. I used multiple filters and image adjustments to create the detail you see in the rainy McCoy.

This is ticket hardstock concept I was messing around with for the Cleveland Browns a while back. Without access to hi-res images, I used photoshop to create the high contrast sepia sketch effect you see in the above artwork. I was pleased with outcome, especially since I used this effect on low-res images. I brushed in the background as the players fade into a Cleveland skyline including the Browns stadium. The matchup is shown by a partial view of the teams helmets visible behind a white box with the word ‘VS’ sitting on top.
Here are the two logo concepts I illustrated for the 2011 MAC Football Championship to be held at Ford Field in Detroit this year. Although my design was not chosen, this was still a great opportunity!
Here is a fun, kid-friendly wallpaper border I designed for the Cavaliers new reading and learning center. I was told that the border would display around the entire room about 4 ft up the wall.
I illustrated these books for a Cavs reading room wallpaper border. I will post the rest of the border when approved.

Came across a nice photo of the Cavaliers retirement and championship rafter banners I have designed over the last few seasons.
With the off-season in full swing, I thought it would be fun and proactive to design some Cavs and Monsters hardstock concepts. Here is vertical Monsters version. More to follow…
After successfully designing the 2011 MAC Basketball Tournament logo, the Mid-American Conference has asked me to help design a new logo for the 2011 MAC Football Championship at Ford Field in Detroit. Concepts are already underway…check back soon.
I put this together this morning for all the Lake Erie Monsters fans out there. Some new Cleveland Playoff Hockey wallpaper, enjoy!
