Corporate Mascots & Character Design

I've had the good fortune to create corporate mascots and characters for  companies and organizations,

ranging from small bagel shops to Intel Corporation and Time Warner.

I would be honored to create something special for you.

A corporate spokesman created for Intel Corp., (featured in three animated TV commercials, and social media)

A character created for Time Warner media groups advertising.

      "Melanie Merck" character created for Merck Merck Pharmaceutical's website for prescription portal and interactive chats.

AT Internet is a French company known for its flagship application, the Analytics Suite, which is used on over 500,000 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.

"Ray" character, created for The University of Arizona Skin Cancer Institute.

The Institute hired me to design a character that could be used in their print and social media efforts,

as well as for use in to creating a costume/suit for public appearances. 

Akamai's servers handle over one third of global website traffic, for companies like Netflix and  AWS (Amazon). Akamai's marketing division commisioned me to create two corporate mascots to depict the speed and efficiency of their cloud storage and servers. The bee and the

race car driver characters are both used in their advertising and marketing.

Corporate mascot created for Silicon Valley cloud computing pioneer, CGNet Inc.

"Sal the Salami" a legacy corporate mascot updated for John Morrel Foods, which includes

Armour, Ekrich, Smithfield, Nathan's Famous hot dogs, Farmland Bacon and Boars Head Meats. 

This project involved re-creating a classic, nearly 100 year-old corporate character. Once the character was redesigned, I was asked to

create over two dozen illustrations for advertising, as well as safety posters for various company locations.

Character created for a pet care company launching shortly

A commissioned character illustration created for a racing team in Minneapolis. The owner of the team contacted me with an idea for an illustration like the "CAR-toons" and "Rat Fink" art from the 1970's, to use on posters, signs and shirts. It was a great deal of fun.

Mascot created for Beatnik's Bagel's

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.)
