After many requests, I'm finally happy to be adding Berlin to my World Travel Poster Series. Just about a year ago, i spent two weeks in Berlin and its truly an amazing city. The poster depicts the famous Brandenburg gate with the iconic Berlin Tower in the background.

PC Hero Logo

This week, IdeaStorm was contacted by a tech company based out of Jacksonville, FL looking for a logo. They told me they had been to 3 different companies before and had trouble finding what they wanted. After agreeing on terms i got cranking on it. As always, i started off with a sketch and jotted down ideas quickly. After sketching, i got them down in illustrator and sent in 4 different options. The client picked out two he liked, so i combined the elements they liked  and polished them up. A few tweaks here and there and the logo was finalized and approved! All in 3 days! Check out the logo below.

Heres an inside look of a recent client project i just wrapped up. This shows you a little about my process and how i work.

I ALWAYS start will a very loose sketch. I work very loosely with a pen (don't like sketching with pencils) and try and find a fun composition. From there i just jump into vectors and then add some textures at the end. 

I had a lot of fun with this project and look forward to seeing it on the web!

Hi Alex! I suspect the answer is no, but is there a chance you'll ever reprint the Superman/Spiderman/Hulk et al posters again, and make them available online? I have a gorgeous Metroid print that's crying out for a wall-buddy, is all.

Hey man, thanks for following the blog! I actually got some good news for you, while i won't be selling them online (just yet) i am going to be printing all my old prints and some new ones for an upcoming show next month and id be happy to sell you some online. Ill be sure to let you know when i get them printed! Thank for reaching out - alex
