Corporate Mascots & Character Design

I've had the privilege of designing corporate mascots and cartoon characters for some

great companies and organizations, as well as for animated television shows and commercials.

I have also enjoyed designing TV & movie character-based "Happy Meal" toys for McDonalds and Taco Bell.

I would be honored to create something special for you.

Akamai Technologies, Inc. is a global web services company. Their servers handle over 35% of all website traffic. for companies like Netflix and  AWS (Amazon Web Services) Akamai's marketing division commisioned me to create two corporate mascots. The bee and the race car driver characters were both developed and used in a series of cartoons for their advertising and marketing.

AT Internet is a  French company known for its flsgship application, the Analytics Suite, which is used on approximately 35,000 websites worldwide. They hired me to develop a character to represent their services and products. Later I created a series of humorous cartoons featuring that character, which were used in their advertising and publications.

Ekrich, Smithfield, Nathan's Famous hot dogs, Farmland and Boars Head Meats. This project involved updating and re-creating a classic corporate mascot used to advertise several prominent brands of foods. Once the character was approved, I created nearly two dozen advertisements and safety related posters for the various companies .

McDonald's, Taco Bell and other fast food restaurants offer "HAPPY MEAL TOYS", as tie-ins to movies and TV shows. I have enjoyed designing some of these toys for "Batman" movies, "The Tick" animated series, and other films. My daughter still has several in her room, (excellent for collecting dust.)
