Forestry Illustrations

My father was a Forester for Ontario Hydro (now called Hydro One) for 30 years. Before that he studied forestry at The University of New Brunswick. Over the holidays I was looking in the attic and found some of his old books from his school days. I found one from around 1968. Just thought I would share a couple of the beautiful, simple illustrations.

MediaTrust Secret Santa

I work for an online advertising company called MediaTrust. This year we decided to play Secret Santa. We also had a Pot Luck lunch . It was a huge success! Everybody brought amazing gifts and the food tasted fantastic.

Finland

Just having some fun with old photos and textures. It would be cool to visit Finland.

New Logo!

I am very excited to present to all of you, my new logo! Actually, my design school friends will probably correct me, and say that this is actually a “word-mark”… whatever! What do you think of it?

If anyone is interested in collaborating on an art project, let me know… There is a contact form on the About page.

Thanks,

-M. Sanders Richmond

The Hunt

This is a photo shoot I set up. I was asked to contribute a photo illustration to a new online magazine / blog called The Lemon Life. I convinced my brother-in-law to be my model for the shoot. Obviously we got wet, but it was still fun!!! The photo is live now. Go check it out!

Album Cover Design

Here are some of my design ideas for the Lunchmeat album cover.





Rock Show Poster

Poster I designed for a Lunchmeat show. We are playing with my friend’s band Slow/Dynamite. They are from Brooklyn, New York

“Slow/Dynamite thrive on contradictions, between heroic and vanquished, harmony and discord, chaos and order, collapsing these poles into a coherent and gripping musical proposition. All of which makes for a particularly tasty new sound, and a barnstorming debut. Get on it y’all.” – impose magazine
