The Mar del Sur Collection is filled with fish, beaches, boats, and other imagery from the ocean. A lot of the imagery was inspired by the time that I lived in a small town in Costa Rica called Puerto Viejo. Also included are patterns, borders and more! All available for licensing.

Update: Contest closed .. winner notified. For those of you wondering … the book is called The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon

A bit of chaos

Here is a piece I did for a wine label … we ended up going in another direction but I like this direction so I thought I’d post it and created the FACElift illustration with the same feel.

Here is the art that was actually used on the wine bottle.

Personal Work: Play and Discovery

Nate Williams — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:34:22 +0000

Here are a few personal pieces I created by playing with photocopy machines, computers, india ink, and sharpie markers. A lot of the time I just find a good park bench and draw random letters and motifs while listening to music or a podcast. I like to play with concepts, subject matter and mediums/techniques.
