Business cards from yester year

Hey folks, I made it home alive from my cross country trip and now I'm shaking off the rust and getting back to the drawing board.  I've worked a bit on the Alice in Wonderland piece but that I'm taking my time on that one, lots of fun reference and lots of planning it all out.  My baseball drawings are underway as well.  I started with CC Sabathia and its coming along, I hit some speed bumps but I'm ironing them out.  I need to stop just jumping into finishes without really planning out the page.  I tend to do that a lot with personal pieces and its dumb.  Always thumbnail kids.

I'm also tinkering around with a cd review illustrations for the new Eels album (which is amazing) and while I was doodling  I came up with a cool Counting Crows idea, so I figure I'll work those up at the same time and fingers crossed things work out.  I'm thinking I'm going to try and be a bit looser with those, maybe even get away from the digital coloring.

Since I dont have much new stuff to show you at the moment, I figured I'd post some old business card designs I did a while back. The first two are for a friend's upstart company, I wasn't sure which version I liked better so I posted both.  The last card was for a bed and breakfast ran by folks with the last name Coffey, so I went with a coffee theme GET IT?! Graphic design and I aren't the best of friends but I'd say we're buddies. 


Also, be sure to keep checking Peculiar Bliss for some random little doodles from me and a slew of other great artistic minds.  I wont be double posting anything, so what you see here wont be there and vice versa.  Double the fun.
