Day 1 • Count Up To 50! — Ken Griffey Jr. Poster

This piece is literally one of the latest things I have completed (05.17.2016).

A new year, a new logo. And ...

Wow! Over 21 years and I finally updated my logo. Wanted to bring it at least into the new millennium. A little late being that its 2016. There are other changes on the way and of course the "Count Up to 50"  promotion — a 365 day retrospective on the first 50 years of my art life. That starts on May 21, 2016.

Follow me on Instagram (tripleplaydesign), Twitter (emkittel) and Facebook (Triple Play Design) as well as this blog. I will post one art image per day from my past. Look for anything from rough pencil sketches to printed samples and everything in between.
