Work in progress

Just something I've been playing around with, mixing up styles and different mediums.

SOMETIMES I MAKE TEAM LOGOS

Sometimes a team needs a logo, and sometimes I make them... Check out some of the logos I've done for the various Dodgeball teams I've played on. The first one is a collaboration between myself, David Zajdman and Nic Cowan, for the one and only Reading Reignballs Dodgeball Force! Enjoy!
