When I worked for the ad agency back in the 80s, one of our clients was a local chiropractor. He wanted a series of humorous cards he could send to his patients on their birthdays. This was one of the ideas that didn't make the final cut. I think Kneil and Vic could have their own show.

Goofy #104 - Water Cooler
Nothing special today. This is an unused doodle of a water cooler for the company newsletter. I'm going to mess around with animating it in Flash for shits-n-giggles.

Goofy #103 - Skinny
Surprize, surprize, another self-portrait. This one was done back in '89 when I was working as an archive clerk. I can tell that because I'm wearing sneakers, casual clothes, and I'm not wearing glasses. I used to be skinny and dorky at one time. Now I'm robust and dorky.

Goofy #102 - Flyin' T-Squares, Version Three
The next version of the Flyin' T-Squares logo work-in-progress. Lots of changes here. I put a lot of effort in doing some fancy line and fill work in the font. I also changed the t-square's face and mouth, making it closer to the original Flying Tigers paint job. I also changed the angle on the art and changed the proportions to make the artwork more dynamic. There will be more changes to come including shading, drop shadows, clouds, and color adjustment. I'll post those at the end of the week.

Goofy #102 - Flyin' T-Squares, Version Two
This next version of the Flyin' T-Squares logo was started by scanning the original mechanical and bringing it into a trace program to convert it to a vector. Then the vector was brought into CorelDRAW for editing. I dumped the "disco" era font in favor for a font that had a bit more of a painted-on look. After looking at a lot of WWII insignia books, I started to monkey around with the colors. There were a lot of changes to this design. You'll see them when I post the next version.
