Cartoon Logos by Bob Ostrom Studio.
On the right is a very old photo of the character used for this logo, a relative of the company owner.
This cartoon logo is based on a real life character. I’m not really much of a caricature artist but when this project came along I couldn’t resist. I took one look at the reference photo and I knew we were going to have some fun. This is my favorite of several versions done of this logo.

Hello There!
This is an illustration I worked on at the end of last year. I usually do book work but this project was a little different. They contacted me asking if I wanted to create a logo for a non-profit organization. It was for such a beautiful cause.. I just couldn't say no. :o)
I can't say which organization just yet but I'll post about it once I have green light.
It was important for me to convey warmth, coziness, love and security in this illustration and I wanted it to be appealing to kids at the same time. I love drawing bunnies and they seemed appropriate for this.So bunnies it is!
I've also been working on several different magazine projects which is new to me and I have to say a lot of fun! I love how fast paced they are compared to a book for example. I will share some of that as we get closer to publishing dates.
Also I recently finished a new board book for babies, one of my favorite types of books to illustrate. :o)
For this year I hope to have time to work on one of my dummies and to create new work for my portfolio. Published illustrations work for the portfolio too but I think is important to create new artwork specifically for the portfolio. Sometimes what a particular house wants in a book is great for the book but not enough for a portfolio. You know what I mean? Portfolio images have to have tons of story telling and have to grab you immediately.
Working on dummies is time consuming and hard work. I don't know why but I am always so insecure with my dummies. Maybe is because I have so many alternatives that can change that is hard to make up my mind? I am the writer, illustrator and art director in a sense.. too many people in my head! Haha.. Sometimes I think I have to go ahead with the best idea I can and just go for it.. even though I'm such a scary cat.
How about you? It is hard to work on dummies too or just a breeze? If it's the second one, please share your secret.. I need help. ;o)

It’s official, my design plus Anil Tortop’s brilliant execution [the 'Q' as the wave was a stroke of genius] = the new SCBWI Blog Logo.
We both had a ball playing with ideas.
I did some amateurish sketches of my original idea and then a clipart mockup. Anil took it from there and evolved her final brilliant image:

The blurb:
Jennifer Poulter: My design symbolises the joyous spirit of creativity! The pelican represents authors and illustrators catching ideas, surfing waves of inspiration. It also symbolises Queensland with its long, long coastline and the pelican, one of our most prolific water-birds, which is found on the coast and on inland lakes. Water symbolises growth, nourishing, renewal – a great symbol for the dissemination of knowledge and the generation of ideas, the stimulation of imagination. It also captures the joy of playing in water, which all children love whether it is in the bath on the beach, river or lakeside, in the pool or under the hose!
Anil executed the design and – a stroke of genius – incorporated the Q for Queensland in the wave!

“As far as the Moleskinerie logo contest is concerned, we would like to clarify that since the nature of Moleskinerie has always been participative, made up of passionate contributions and voluntary submissions, we decided to let the community participate again in creating the new logo of the blog. We decided to collaborate with Designboom to do so, a leading online design magazine, which is well aware of how to run a contest of this kind.”

Moleskine wants you to design their new logo for free
(via Moleskine’s own Facebook Page)
Earlier this week you may have heard a similar story about the Obama campaign asking designers to create posters on spec to help promote jobs creation of all things (feel free to read my steam-blowing-out-of-my-ears rant about that on my Google+ page), and now you can add MOLESKINE to this camp too.
I admit, long ago as a young illustrator I too fell for this crap and please believe me when I say it’s a mistake. I will never change my mind about how working artists should never bother supporting such “spec-work-disguised-as-contests.”
Contests are one thing, and they can be good. Volunteering your talents is another thing, and it’s good. But creating a logo or any branding collateral for a big company for free, and knowing that the work of the other 99.99% “losers” will essentially be tossed into the trash (and the copyright to their work handed over to those running the contest) is just stupid, and it’s offensive that any company would think it’s OK. It’s a terrible way for you to run your business. And when you freelance you are running a business.
Last year, as a result of a recommendation by my buddy Dave Stokes, I was asked to produce a logo for a gaming book by a company that produces wargame figurines. Miniature Design Studio produces 28mm figurines for what I'd describe as role playing games...
The brief was to create a logo with a 'calligraphy bias'. The name of the game was 'origin'. This was the design that was settled on:
Recently, I was approached to do a further two logos. This time, in b&w and colour.
Again, there was a strong 'calligraphic' bais to the letter forms.
It's always nice to mix up things a bit and I do enjoy working on something so different from my more usual illustration work. Different challenges keep things fresh I think because coming back to drawing after these has been a real joy as well.
2012 Olympic logo irks Iran - World - CBC News:
Once again, an Olympics graphics controversy…. not my favorite design in any case, “zionist” or not.
Since graduating from the University of California, Davis in 1990, Steven Noble has mastered a wide range of detail and style within the scratchboard medium and has become internationally recognized for his work from clients as far away as Japan and Europe.
Over the years, Steven has become equally adept in the woodcut, pen and ink, traditional engraving and steel engraving styles, as well as a variety of stylized scratchboard techniques. His highly disciplined and complex line work is based on over 15 years of experience. To create the intricate details of his work, Steven carves very fine line strokes into pre-inked clay boards using X-Acto precision knives. He applies his labor intensive technique to a variety of medium, from bold woodcuts to very fine traditional 19 century steel engravings.
Satire for the Nu.nl news website, about consecutive scandals that damaged the reputation of the Dutch PVV party. The image is a wink to the bird-logo of the PVV.
You're invited to sevensheaven.nl for an extended impression.
For the next few weeks I will want to be in a late October mode. A new banner is here for a few weeks.
I also finished making a new logo that I can use from time to time in all the right places. This kind of branding can be useful if you create products for sale... or even as an addition on a business card.
Do you have a favorite logo of yours that you use on your work, other than or in addtion to your standard copyright?

Illustration for a roll banner of an Android event.
The image was rendered in 9600 x 24000 pixels (about 80 x 200 cm in 300 DPI).
Just finished these really cute square business cards for Tiny Tooth Designs. The back of the business card features a picture of the products that will soon be in their Etsy store. They are going to be printed 2" square with UV coating on the back. The design used for the front of the business card will also be used as a sticker for bags.
I am touched and humbled by the comments about my design, here, on facebook, twitter and on the 2000ad Forum.
I have tidied up the design a little to make it neater and hopefully just a little more effective before Mike finally takes the plunge.
A tribute to the popular producer of electronics, as a background for the iPhone and iPad version of the Clockwiser puzzle game. Ideal for usage as a wallpaper for your iPhone or iPad.

Hey Guys, I just wanted to share with you a recently completed logo and poster that I did for a yoga studio in Brooklyn, New York. The yoga studio is called Usha Veda Yoga and is in the Green Point neighborhood of Brooklyn. Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them. Thanks.

It looks like you've been busy! Book dummies are hard, and take a lot of time. Especially fitting the story into a set number of pages.
I often do quick storyboards on paper (many squares on a page) to work out ideas, then do a bigger version when I have it worked out. It's also good to set it aside for a few days, then come back to it for an objective view.
How very charming and lovely!
our little granddaughter loves bunnies.
Both children really like your Christmas book!
oxox
Thanks John! I agree, dummies are hard. I work very small at the beginning too but have a hard time deciding from tons of thumbnails, hehe. But I know that's the way to go. I like the setting aside idea for a while and the come back to it with fresher eyes. :)
Aww thank so much Elizabeth! I'm thrilled to hear that. Xo :)
This is so lovely, Ali. Dummies are hard! I'm by no means an expert, but my 1st finished one was soooo much work (and rework!) - mostly bc the manuscript just wasn't strong enough until many versions deep. For my 2nd (nearly!) finished one, it was SO much easier because I took much more care with each step. I wrote, and thought, and edited, and thought. When it was just right, I put my illustrator hat on, and STILL kept thinking. Then the drawing, thumbnails, etc, all came together MUCH easier (and stronger, I think). Everyone finds the best process for them, and you will in time too. Just keep at it, because there is so much heart and joy in your illustration, that it's only a matter of time before we are buying your 'written and illustrated by' book.
Thank you sweetie! :o)
I've seen some of your dummies and they are wonderful. It's great that you find you learned from your first one and the second one came more smoothly. For the one I'm working on, I have the manuscript down so that's good! I just have to have more faith like you said need to keep on working on the scenes. I'll keep at it. Thank youuuuu xo.
