An entrepreneur contacted me with an idea for a Christmas plush toy-and-book combo he was calling “Wise Men on the Watch”. He hired me to work up some simple concept sketches he could use in pitching his idea to investors.
Goldfish Swim Schools hired me to design a mascot for them, a happy little fish called Bubbles. He’s quite popular with the kids. Goldfish has made Bubbles into toys and tattoos and featured him on coloring pages, window clings, lunchboxes, and two children’s books.
Kids sometimes ask how to draw Bubbles so Goldfish hired me to create a video and a handout showing them how. Now kids can take Bubbles with them wherever they go!

Hasbro often uses illustrations on their toy packaging. They were working on a new toy for their Fur Real line and wanted to try a background that would look like a bakery from a fairy tale or fantasy story, perhaps something built inside a tree. So they hired me to sketch up the concept.
Minneapolis marketing agency Six Speed was making a presentation to Volvo to pitch an idea for an outdoor marketing event. They needed some sketches to show the concepts they envisioned and hired me to draw them. Here’s what I submitted, shared with their permission:
Recently I created a PDF portfolio specifically for my FPO/Comp Art work. Feel free to download a copy to keep on file, send to a colleague, or print and bring to a meeting.
Last year Hasbro hired me to illustrate the packaging for a new toy, Mr. Potato Head Goes Green. Now that it’s listed on Amazon I can finally reveal it. It’s a figurine that’s five inches tall, made from plant-based plastic, and ships in packaging that is almost entirely plastic-free. There are fifteen total pieces to swap around and play with.
Here’s the artwork I submitted:
And here’s how the final packaging turned out:
Some of my artwork is also being used as banners on the Amazon product page:
I’m told it’s available from Amazon and Whole Foods. I can’t wait for mine to arrive so I can add it to the packaging illustration display in my studio alongside artwork I’ve done for Cocoa Puffs, Monster Cereals, Gogurt, Hasbro Little Big Bites, Hasbro Wheel Pals, and others.
