Vector illustrations for Nintendo’s annual virtual summer camp, Camp Hyrule. This was one of several years that I created the illustrations, which featured both classic games and new releases. I really liked creating the overall, bird's eye view of the camp, and modifying it into the flooded version. The maps were animated and interactive.

Vector illustrations for Nintendo Power’s annual virtual summer camp, Camp Hyrule. The theme for this year was “Super Mario Galaxy.” The illustrations were created in Adobe Illustrator and imported into Flash. Interactivity and animation was added by the client. All the building and object designs were my original ideas with the exception of Mini Mario World, the Wii, the DS Lite and the Great Fox ship. I had a lot of fun creating the various condensed worlds.
Includes Cabins, Nintendo HQ, First Aid Hut,Trading Post, Nintendo DS, Gravity Generator, and Portals
Includes Hyrule Castle, Lake Webiconda, Kirby’s Diner, Mini Mario World, Pokemon Dungeon and Maniac’s Cave
This was designed in pieces that were added as the camp week progressed.

These are designs I created for a set of licensed plush toys of popular wrestlers. The biggest challenge, but also the most fun, was recreating the complex tattoos on two of the wrestlers. The other notable challenge was creating caricatures that would translate well to the 3D stuffed head. I was pleased with the results. The toys were made in four sizes and were made available in arcade toy claw machines.

I designed a couple of these dogs, made the patterns, then they were sent to a manufacturer in China. The physical prototypes came back following my design about 80%, with liberties taken with the other 20%. I never knew if this was at the art director’s request, to make it easier to manufacture, or the overseas designers just did what they wanted.
