Thanks to Tony and Lindsey Ivey for running the Big Valley Challenge. This is my favorite tournament of the year.

I got to do the logo for this tourney the last two years.

2014 Forest Hills Open (Tomlinson, Sexton, Schweberger, Davis, Gallops) ...

Thanks to  Matt Gill for asking me to do this Forest Hills Open logo. The bar stamp style was all Matt's idea.

Bakersfield Youth Disc Golf

I got to do a new logo for a budding youth disc golf program in Bakersfield, CA the BYDG. Thanks to a hook up by my favorite California Artist. He knows who he is. Special thanks to Gary he is a great guy and gave me a lot of room to do what I do and I think the end result is awesome. Went with a robot disc guy to make it fun for the kids. Who are we kidding I love robots and wanted to create a disc bot for a long time. I did a T-shirt design and a Hat. I also just did some scorecards for them. I hope you like it, more importantly I hope the kids like it.

PDGA 2016 Ace & Birdie Club Design Contest

It's time! I submitted my PDGA Ace & Birdie Club designs. I would really like to win both this year, so I designed them more as a set. I wanted to create a design that has not been used in this contest, at least not from the winning designs. With a simplified and bold 1 & 2 theme here are my Ace & Birdie Club design for 2016.
1 side note the guy in the Ace Club design is a good friend and Team Forest Walkers member Andy Kloiber.

This guy is a bad dude not just an Octopus

Okay, so I said the Tursas disc from Westside was next and here it is. I did some research to understand why Westside Discs used an octopus on this disc. I was pretty sure Tursas was a God. I was not wrong, Wikipedia says:"Iku-Turso (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈikuˌturso], "the eternal Turso"; also known as Iku-Tursas, Iki-Tursas, Meritursas, Tursas, Turisas among others) is a malevolent sea monster in Finnish mythology. Nowadays Meritursas means octopus in Finnish, named after Iku-Turso, but originally tursas is an old name for walrus while the more common term is mursu. However, it is more common to see the word Mustekala (lit. "ink fish"), the name of its Subclass Coleoidea in Finnish, for the octopus." From all that I decided to make the God version for this disc. Half Walrus man half octopus, all badass! I put in a couple sketches and a full color disc. Let me know what you think. Keeping with a Nordic theme Innova's Viking disc will be next.

A bolder MACE!

I started to redesign existing discs, that I felt could use a little more excitement. The first is Latitude 64's MACE. This is just for my portfolio, this is not a commissioned design I wanted to use this opportunity to show off my style, without the restriction of a specific subject matter. I did a full color and Black & White version. You can see how much the image changed from the original sketch, this pretty common when I transfer from paper to the computer. I hope you all like it, if you are impressed and need a disc designed please let me know. All feedback is appreciated and very helpful. Thank You, Next Up the TURSAS!
