About a year ago I worked on a yearbook cover for a school my sister was working at - Price Elementary, in Ohio. Fortunately (for her), I wasn't working and had time to do a last-minute quick graphic. They don't have a mascot (that I know of) and it needed to be in black and white. I asked when she needed it - "today?" No scanner = my first attempt at computer-only sketching.
This year, I had a little bit more time, and the opportunity to use color. Again, it was relatively quick, and again, no hand sketches scanned... completely digital. And a 2010 Olympic theme, of course :)
I love when people take my seriously and actually make / print / build something I've designed. Meagen just sent me this photo - ta daaaaa :)
