Nothing says Italian food more than Tyrannosaurus Rex! Am I right?

I have been working on a personal portfolio project for the last few weeks and decided to post some updates. This is a concept branding scheme for an italian restaurant. This is a fun one. Maybe I can sell this brand some day for a lot of money. I’ll probably work on more illustrations following this theme–maybe of other dinosaurs doing italian food activities. I’ll also do some business cards, stationary, and letterhead,–and maybe a website mock-up.

Here are some sample menu pages. The menu was stol–BORROWED– from “The Olive Garden”.

Spaghetti Rex!! Concept sketch.

Here is our official Christmas card for 2007. This one is easier to print than the elf-Santa’s butt one.

Merry Christmas!

Here is the finished piece! (at least for now). Below is the beginning of the work done in Illustrator. After I had all the colors done I took it into Photoshop and painted the rest.

Hello. Since I haven’t posted anything in a while I thought I’d post a work in progress. I’m not sure yet if this is going to by our “official” Christmas card–I have two others done already. It’ll definitely be one to sell.
I’m a lot further than these, so I’ll post the finished one in a few days.
Here is the initial sketch.

Rough colors added in Photoshop.
My office just received Adobe CS3 litterally two minutes ago, so I’m going to go install it! Yay!

Merry Christmas!
