I’m pleased to share news that some of my work is included in the recently released Big Book of Self Promotion, (S. Stephens, 2009, HarperCollins Publishers). Despite it’s title, the book has hundreds of examples of work created for clients, including a chapter, titled “Its All About the Event”, devoted to materials created to promote events. That is where you’ll find the two pieces of mine in the book (shown below). They were both created for the 2007 Amica Insurance Breakers Marathon, held in Newport, RI, a fundraiser event to benefit the Providence Ronald McDonald House.

Shirt design inspired by the Hibiscus-banded Hawaiian shirts,
with a New England twist.

I recently discovered this beautiful poster and just had to share. This print was created earlier this year by Scott Hansen (aka ISO50 target=”_blank”), whose inspiring work is rich and luxurious in both color and detail. He was contacted by the Obama campaign and commissioned to create a poster on the theme of “Progress”. The poster was produced in a limited quantity of 5000 prints, and sold as a campaign fundraiser. Not surprisingly, it sold out quickly.

Hansen shares some behind-the-scenes insight regarding the Making of the Obama Print on his blog.
