Greatest Show on Turf Signage/T-shirt, San Diego Auto Museum - Adobe Illustrator, 2010

The Auto Museum holds an anual event called the Greatest Show on Turf which features all kinds of local cars and trucks. This year I was assigned to create all the signage and marketing material for the show. Using the same basic graphic across several platforms including t-shirts. I used the theme of the show (cars parked on grass) as the theme for the marketing with an image of a hotrod parked on a overly green Earth.
Cai Roll Mock-ups
California Roll Mock-Ups, San Diego Auto Museum - Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, 2010

To illustrate the diversity of California's car culture, I was aksed to create some mock-ups featuring the bear from the California flag and to incorporate some elements of the flag in the design. The logo was intended to reference California's beach culture and to also resemble a sushi roll. The rest of the images were mock-ups I planned to illustrate and would have been featured on all the marketing and signage however the exhbition was put on hold due to a shortage of vechicles which fit the criteria for the show. .
Reaper Bandana
Reaper Bandana Design by Tim Jepson
Reaper Bandana - Adobe Illustrator, 2011

I created several designs for a local motorcycle clothing distrutor of unique bandanas. This one was selected as something the target market would respond to. The design was loosely based off an old newspaper clipping of a grim reaper waiting by a gravestone with a list of names in his hands. I incorporated the hourglass and skull imagery to highlight the theme and included some other minor elements to beef up the design. Because it is a bandana, the design had to be able to work in a variety of ways, inlduing being folded in half.

Man to Rocketman - Pencil/Ink Adobe Photoshop, 2008

This is a t-shirt design for the website theadless.com which I submitted. The idea is to kind of mock the evolution image with a not so subtle transition from man to the man of the future. The design could have only five colors including black and white.
