I saw a @nyislanders alt concept on Twitter/x by number9concepts that I found cool. It got my design/illustration gears turning so I found myself wanting to piggyback with a lighthouse design of my own. I like the idea of working “NY” into the light beams.

NYT offered me no quarter in the funniest way.

Calling this Falcons concept done for now. My take is not unfamiliar–embrace old, leave room for new.
- Redrew the old bird w/ some inspo from the current.
- Numbers are block, but w/ nods to the logo flare.
- Added a Gamecocks white helmet for my SC folks.

Going ahead and posting this before the tidal wave of #TitanUp takes later this week. No, wasn’t trying to guess the new look. Yes, just having fun. Crossbar in the A is the state and sword/ball has a drop of oil for you Easter eggheads. #conceptart

It's enraging how much this government wants to fuck over creatives and small businesses.
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Blarg. Got word my fire horse didn’t make the cut for an exhibition. Obviously bummed but still pleased with how it turned out.

#sketchbook: Unpopular take, but an idea I couldn't shake last night. I think the Titans going with a roundel is...fine. It's a sharp look, and folks really dig the state iconography. But on the otoh you could have a flaming thumbtack. (I'd keep red as accent, no red tops/pants.)

#sketchbook: I didn't start this 2026 calendar #illustration until 12/29/2025 which is one of the most ADD things I've done in a while. '26 is the year of the fire horse, and a story about a phoenix giving life/flight to a fallen horse jumped into my mind.

Early #wip sketch for a calendar illustration (Year of the Fire Horse, a Pegasus made of a phoenix resurrecting a horse’s bones.) Started 12/29; trying to wrap it up by 1/5.

#sketchbook: Getting current on the FCS semis I found myself curious about Illinois State's logo history, so I hopped into sports logos-dot-net; I didn't know they had a thumbs up guy! Messed with bringing back the thumb, keeping the current face, thought the implied S could be spiff.

#sketchbook: Calling this Montana State #conceptart done for now. It's been a fun one to sketch as both a logo and a lettering project. Good luck to the Cats tonight against SFA.

#sketchbook: Revisiting a thought from last summer, some elaborate illustration riffing off the idea of rivals/rivalry. At the heart - an ambigram. I struggled with “RIVALRY” but I think I might have traction with “RIVALS”. #wip #lettering

#sketchbook: Saw a post on my TL with the old Montana State Bobcats logo and instantly imagined lettering buried in the fur. While following mid-major games this weekend, I started sketching. Might take this to vector.

#sketchbook: Hometown hockey team announced a rebrand a couple weeks ago. Seeing what they did, I got an idea and worked it up into what's in this clip. I've enjoyed sketching out script marks of late, so it was fun to get angular and thunderbolt-y. #personalproject

#sketchbook: Local hockey team now goes by T-Birds (mgmt change = name change). Liked the idea of twin birds making a somewhat T, so doodled this out for fun. No Easter eggs, just a couple of birds with hockey sticks.

#sketchbook: Kept planning to make a quick vid for this last Utah Mammoth logo concept, but #NHL preseason is here, and my backlog is yelling. Highlights: intro copper, tusks form a U, star for SLC on the away shoulder patch. All-in-all, a simpler brand package. #conceptart
