South Korean Street store front.

2011-11-13T17:01:00.000-08:00

I saw a picture of a South Korean store front. I liked it. It had a lot of character, so I decided to sketch and paint it.

Enjoy.

New Mechanical Menagerie Print.

2011-11-05T16:31:00.000-07:00

Wow... I don't know if I have gone this long without posting something. I have been very busy.

In the meantime, here is a picture I created to go with my other Mechanical Menagerie prints.
Enjoy!

2011-05-18T21:18:00.000-07:00

A couple months ago I was commissioned by a company in South Korea to create assets for a new store opening up called "Gusto Taco". Apparently it has been featured in several magazines. Here are some screenshots from Elle and Marie Claire.

Another new art print.

2011-03-29T23:18:00.000-07:00

I guess you can never say that I don't like robots... not that anyone would ever say that. So yeah.. this is another robot art print. So what? I like them. and hopefully so do you. In my never ending quest to create more and more artwork, I have created this. Enjoy.

Here is the Etsy link for this print:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/71074941/a-robots-balloon-8x10-art-print

Re-purposed some of my art for a little different feel.

2011-03-23T17:41:00.000-07:00

I am planning on doing some new artwork over the next week or so, three new pieces, but until then, I recreated some of my art prints using a different style with an 8"x8" format. I think it's cool. I would ask for your opinion, but I know nobody will ever read this, so whatever.

Here is the link for those interested:

Two weeks ago I was contacted by the Sports Art Director for the New York Times and asked if I could do an illustration for their sports section for March 14th to kick off March Madness. I accepted the challenge. Here is the final printed piece. Sorry about the resolution, it was from my outdated camera phone.

2010-08-31T15:10:00.000-07:00

Watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" Thought I would try and draw Devito... don't know if it is successful, but it's a start.

The League of Monsters.

Mummies!

2010-08-20T14:27:00.000-07:00

ok. I am usually not the person that finds something interesting on the internet and shares it around, and posts it on my blog. That's not what this blog is about. However, these photos are just too cool. These were taken with a new photography process, and are images of life in the USA in the 30's and 40's. They are awesome.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/sets/72157603671370361/with/2179925802/

In addition to this, here are some color photos taken in Russia around 1910. Very cool.

Enjoy!

3d mockups.

2010-08-18T07:49:00.000-07:00

When this last catalog went out, we didn't have the POS display box from the manufacturer yet, so I had to mock up a couple in Maya/Photoshop to showcase the product, and make it look like it was the actual POS. I think they turned out pretty nice.

Good Morning Monday.

2010-08-16T10:05:00.000-07:00

Good morning Monday. So, a little update on something I haven't spoken of at all. Over the weekend I figured out how to setup a Wordpress blog on my own personal website. Here is the link to that: http://blog.sabordesigns.com
It is not ready, not setup.. and just has some placeholder text for now, but I think I will eventually switch to that blog, rather than use this blog.. I think it may appear more professional. Any thoughts on that?

Ok, as you know, I illustrate for a scrapbooking company called Karen Foster Design, I was recently sent some samples of some pages that have been created with product I designed. This is not a scrapbooking blog, but I just thought I would show you what some people are doing with some of my stuff. These were created by a lady named Shelby Koehler in Canada. I'm glad people can find creative ways to use stuff I design.

Here is a service I am now offering. Let me know if you are interested.

Maternity and School

2010-08-11T07:40:00.000-07:00

So here are the last two lines I worked on for this release: Maternity and School. There are other collateral I designed for these lines like stacked elements and charms etc... but i didn't feel like posting those... so deal with it. If you want to check out the full line, you can go to www.karenfosterdesign.com or scrapbookpaper.com and see all the new stuff.
Later.

Potty training

2010-08-10T07:38:00.000-07:00

Alright, Here are 2 more themes (I'm trying to get through all of these, it was a big release). The top one is for babies as they grow older.. like the first time they do stuff. "Baby's Firsts" I think it is called. The second one is potty training. You can use one of the papers as a potty training chart and track their status..
Here is Karen Foster Design's official website: http://karenfosterdesign.com/
And here is the site you can buy all of these products from if you can't find it in any store: http://scrapbookpaper.com/

Happy Monday. Also, here is some more stuff.

2010-08-09T09:29:00.000-07:00

Here we have Christmas. This year we split Christmas into 2 separate lines: Whimsical and Vintage. The top two images are the Vintage line and the bottom two are the Whimsical line. The smaller image on each is the sticker set that coordinates with the paper. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Football

2010-08-06T13:03:00.000-07:00

Here is the football line that was recently released. It is made to give it a semi-vintage feel to it.
The small image is a sheet of card stock stickers, and the larger images are papers. I think they turned out pretty cool.

Srapbook Time again.

2010-08-05T10:21:00.000-07:00

OK, as you may know. I work full-time at Karen Foster Design as a Lead Illustrator/Designer. Every couple of months we release new product. It is that time again. There was just a Craft and Hobby Association show last week and the new products were released, so I can now share them on my blog. I will just show the ones I created, one a day for the next couple of days. Enjoy.

OK, I lied. Here are 2 different products, Autumn and Thanksgiving. I just designed them to coordinate, so i am posting them together.

Late at night posting...

2010-08-02T21:52:00.000-07:00

A friend commissioned me to create a piece of artwork for her baby's room. This is what I created. It will by 2'x3'... pretty big

Brushes

2010-08-02T09:07:00.000-07:00

New tool

2010-08-02T08:39:00.000-07:00

I got a trial of CS5 and I was playing around with a new tool in Illustrator. It is a vector brush tool. I used it to create the shadows and highlights on this bunny.

Billboards in action

2010-07-28T07:26:00.000-07:00

Ok, so a few months ago I created some billboards for a company that runs the concession stands at several national parks. One of those parks is Carlsbad Caverns, here are the art files I created for those: http://michaelmurdock.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-mexico-billboards.html

Well, I just got actual pictures of two of the signs, so here they are. I will post the 3rd when I get it.
Enjoy.

Flyer and bookmark.

2010-07-22T08:32:00.000-07:00

Outside of flier


Inside of flier


Bookmark

Last December I was asked to make this. I forgot about it and came across it when I was cleaning up my files. It was for a contest down in a California school district. I did the artwork and the type in this, and if I remember right, it was all to be done really quick. So there was a pretty fast turn around on this. There is also a bookmark that went along with it.

Not sure how I feel about this one.

2010-07-20T15:35:00.001-07:00

Here is another sketch. Not sure if I like it or not, but I figured I need to post something.

Quick sketch in Painter

2010-07-16T12:10:00.000-07:00

I want to get more into the program "Painter". It is sort of like Photoshop, except that the brushes you can use are meant to simulate real-world painting materials. Back in the day I took a class on it, but that was like 8 years ago... so things have changed I think.. Here is my first attempt, enjoy.

Girl with Goggles part 2

2010-07-15T12:47:00.000-07:00

Here is an update to the drawing I posted a couple of days ago. I painted this one. As you can see. I tend to not worry about my sketch lines when I paint, I like to see them with the color, I think it looks cooler, has a certain amount of organic feel to it, rather than a clean, overly worked image... maybe that's just me.

3d House model

2010-07-12T13:53:00.000-07:00

Here is a model of a house I did for someone.

Toy Story Carnival

2010-07-07T11:38:00.000-07:00

Look at this, we get two postings today. Very rare, but worth it. This is a personal project. It is an invitation for my son's 4th birthday party. Got the illustrations from Disney online coloring books and went from there. I think it turned out cool. The benefits of having an artist for a dad I guess.

Java Joint Logo

2010-07-07T08:55:00.000-07:00

Goggles.

2010-07-02T15:32:00.000-07:00

What would a blog post be without goggles? I enjoy goggles, own a pair of my own (handcrafted by me) and I thought, why not put them on a chick? So here you go. Goggles on a chick. It kind of ties in with a personal project I am working on... kind of. This project will hopefully be huge. I am planning on working on it over the next year and not really telling anyone about it. It seems when i voice stuff, it never ends up happening, so i am keeping it quiet.

Another self-portrait.

2010-06-29T09:25:00.000-07:00

If you are so privileged to be on my Facebook page, or a Facebook fan of Sabor Design Studio, then you have already seen this. Here is another self-portrait created out of sheer boredom.

Texas Stacked Statement

2010-06-28T09:39:00.000-07:00

I made this over a year ago, I jut thought I would share my art file, and the final product that sells in stores. The top one is the actual product, and the bottom is the illustrator file I sent to the manufacturer.

Tooth Fairy

2010-06-25T11:49:00.001-07:00

More Scrapbook stuff. This is tooth fairy.

Shameless self-promotion.

2010-06-24T07:54:00.000-07:00

Isn't that what life is about? Shameless self-promotion. I could wax deep on this subject, but I might bore some of my loyal readers. This is a postcard I made to send out to try and wrangle up a few more consistent clients.

Modern Mom

2010-06-23T13:57:00.000-07:00

Here is another scrapbook theme that was released in April. Apparently the last "Mother" line that was produced felt a little dated and geared toward older moms, so we wanted to do a more modern look for the modern mom. That was what we were going for this time, and i think it is pretty modern.

Camping themed products

2010-06-17T07:48:00.000-07:00

Here is the Karen Foster Design camping theme that I created for this last release in April. It has 4 papers, I card stock sticker, 1 stacked journaling element and 2 stacked borders, and 4 metal grand brads. I didn't post the stacked elements or the grand brads, because I don;t have actual images, but if I get actual images of the product I will. Anyway, more scrapbooking stuff. What do you expect? I spend 8 hours a day working on scrapbook stuff, so of course it will show up here. Word.

CSS Menu Maker

2010-06-17T07:33:00.000-07:00

I am revealing one of my secrets. This is a resource that I use when i want to make a quick navigation menu for web pages. It's great, cause I can take the code, modify it quickly and get great results. I used it on my brother-in-law's website: http://www.roadkillinc.com
It is effective and time saving, so I can focus on other parts of the website.
Here is the link: http://www.cssmenumaker.com/
Enjoy!

Father Themed papers and stickers

Here is the "Father" line that was released in April for Karen Foster. The idea was to focus more on a "Modern" dad, rather than the previous line a couple years ago that looked more like the Father Knows best dad... so, me, being the modern dad that i am, took cues from my own life for this. There are 3 papers and 1 card stock sticker.

Here are the papers to the most recent Zoo line I worked on for Karen Foster Design.

Some Logo's I illustrated

2010-06-10T08:07:00.000-07:00

Here are two logos I did the illustrations for implemented in the companies trade show booth. I have cleverly circled the two logos so you know which ones I did.

I Know, I know, do it already

2010-05-10T11:45:00.001-07:00

I know. My website still has not been updated, but I am working on it. Here is the current screen shot of it.

Self-portrait.

2010-05-04T12:11:00.000-07:00

Cause I have nothing else I can share right now. Here is a quick self-portrait sketch. When there is nothing else to draw, why not draw yourself right?

These weeks are getting away from me.

2010-04-29T07:30:00.000-07:00

Ok, so here is my website that I have been working on. It is not completely live yet, but I do have some of it uploaded on my website for preview purposes. Here is the link: http://sabordesigns.com/sabor/index.html

I just think it may take too long to load... so i may have to change it so it loads faster. We'll see...

Cool resource

2010-04-22T14:42:00.001-07:00

Just found a new resource for textures. Here is the link:

Corporate Identity

2010-04-19T11:18:00.000-07:00

I was working with an Ad agency that hired me to do some work for them, but I guess their client backed out after not even seeing the product, so maybe some guns were jumped. Anyway, here are some of the working files.

Babies

2010-04-16T10:21:00.000-07:00

If I remember correctly, I drew this after my little boy's first Halloween. I walked in and saw him going to town on the suckers. That was a couple of years ago, so this drawing is a couple years old. I just liked it so I painted it for my blog. Enjoy.

Zombie Hamster.

2010-04-14T13:59:00.000-07:00

I had an idea for a character after my daughter's hamster died. These sketches are the result. I still think it would be cool, just haven't go around to doing anything with it yet.

Quick sketch

2010-04-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

Found part of this drawing in a stack of papers. Finished it and colored it a bit... real quick style.

Scrapbook layout

2010-04-11T17:40:00.000-07:00

OK. I am not a scrap booker. I work for a scrap book company and create scrap book product, however i generally don't sit down and put pages together. I did have the chance to scrapbook something recently for a catalog, so i used my wife's picture and threw together this layout with product that I designed.

Mommy Time Crafts

2010-04-06T08:21:00.001-07:00

Sorry, haven't posted for a couple of days. Here is a Blog I did for a friend. It is a craft blog, mommytimecrafts.blogspot.com. It isn't implemented yet, I am just done coding and testing it on my other blog.

Update: Her blog is implemented now. You can go check it out here if you want.

Spring Email

Here is the latest email for one of my clients. I do a monthly email special for them, this one goes out today.

texture walk test

2010-03-26T14:26:00.001-07:00

Wanted to try and have a stationary texture while the animation is moving over top of it... so I whipped this up to test it out. Sorry about the walk cycle... it's not that clean. It wasn't about the animation though, just about the testing.

I changed my mind.

2010-03-26T08:55:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I changed my mind. I have every right to change my mind. I have decided not to do the website like I have previously posted, instead, i came up with another design, and this is it. For now. Maybe tomorrow I will decide on a different look, but I think this one is pretty cool. Text is just a placeholder for now.

Website work in progress

2010-03-23T08:39:00.000-07:00

Here is a work in progress shot of my website so far. Still playing around with it to get it how I want it, then after I finalize the look of it i will slice it up for the web.

New website

2010-03-22T12:15:00.000-07:00

Alright. I said that I was going to redo my website, and I think I have what it is going to look like down. Here is a sketch of what it will be. Now, you need to understand that this is just a sketch and not what the final product will be. The final product will be fully rendered and awesome. I am planning on doing some cool things with CSS to make it work.. so I will be working on this off and on for the next little while in between freelance gigs.

Website.

2010-03-18T09:27:00.000-07:00

I'm going to redo my website. Not this one, this is my blog. My current website, www.sabordesigns.com, is kind of impersonal, so i think I am going to make it so it is more apparent that it is my website, that I am the sole artist etc... By doing that, i think I can make it way cooler and be able to add some more style to it, rather than keeping it all stiff looking.

City Sketch

2010-03-17T09:59:00.000-07:00

A drawing of a city.

In Memory

2010-03-16T07:49:00.000-07:00

This is another theme that I didn't really want to do. I wasn't supposed to even do this theme, but the person who was going to do it, didn't end up doing it and I had to rush to get it done.
