Next time you're at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, when you see this map on the big screen in the lobby, you can say, "Hey I know who drew that."
This was a very fun project. It's one of several informative graphics that I worked on in 2025.

Technical illustrations are a specialty of mine. This rendering shows all of the components of an electric car battery. The blue products indicate where all of the elements are thermally insulated.

I've got to add the new Sherwin Williams building into this scene. Update coming soon !!

Hey, Friday, August 11th is the final "Tremont Walkabout" of the summer. I will be selling prints of my Cleveland-inspired artwork (and MORE!) outside at 2379 Professor Avenue (next to Edison's).
This is a pencil rendering of the West Side Market – and everything else in downtown Cleveland.

So not all of my artwork is colorful and fun. As in this project, in which I was hired to illustrate hundreds of nuts, bolts, screws, hinges, connectors, nobs, wrenches, clamps and all kinds of whatchamacallits that can be found throughout a house.

Hey everyone! This Sunday is the Taste of Tremont. I'll be on the street at 2379 Professor Ave. selling prints of my Cleveland-influenced artwork – including this 35 year old, pencil rendering of the Flats.

This was a project I completed during the shut down. I painted every bar and restaurant on my street – Professor Avenue in Tremont. (watercolor and ink) I'll be selling prints on Professor Ave. during the Taste of Tremont on Sunday, July 16.

Here are a few fun logo designs.

Digital illustration for a poster celebrating the extension of the the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath - connecting it with downtown Cleveland.

On October 18, 1764, British Colonel John Bradstreet and his troops were forced to land (due to weather) in what is now Rocky River, Ohio. My illustration of this event has been etched in brass and installed on the new pier at Bradstreet's Landing Park on Lake Road in Rocky River.
Hopefully it will be there for the next century (or two!)
