The song I commissioned the great Derek Daisy to write as a wedding gift for my wife. Using letters, cards, and e-mails that I supplied him, he wrote music and turned my words into music.
Technically, I am a co-writer for this song; but, Derek did all the hard work. I played it for my wife for the first time during our wedding reception. It was just after my best man and her matron of honor gave their speeches. I took the microphone and introduced the song to her and the guests and then the DJ played it for us. She was completely taken off guard. It was a great surprise and a memory we both cherish from our wedding day.
Hope you enjoy!
My alternate logo design for the New Orleans Saints. Just something I put together for fun. I like the way it turned out.
My design for a friend as a gag, psuedo-political campaign poster. I’d vote for him.
Not just an (apparently dirty sex act) any more. I created this on commission from a friend who wanted to have pint glasses printed as a Christmas present for a friend who nicknamed his home bar “The Rusty Trombone”. I went with a vintage looking logo, nothing too fancy. Both my friend and the gift recipient seemed to like the outcome.
Here’s the brochure that I designed for my company’s 2012 Annual Conference & Expo at Citizens Bank Park. Our theme this year is “Coming Attractions!” and we’re using movies as our canvass. So far, the brochure has been well received.
The business card I’ve designed (but not yet printed) for Stargazer Studios. I’m hesitant to print because I’m not sure how long we’ll be using that PO Box.
My elementary school - Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Morton, PA - has played a basketball tournament named in honor of my dad, also named Mike Shaw, for twenty years now. I bought a full page ad in their program book to thank them for honoring my dad for so long.
What I would like the Flyers Winter Classic Jersey to look like (taking elements from alleged leaks)
So, I got some feedback on my Austin Razorbats design concept from the guys over at The Clink Room (www.theclinkroom.com) and they had this to say:
Mike! Now you decide to go all one color on me. Make up your mind! But seriously, a pig that flies, eh. A pig that flies because he was born with bat wings, hell yeah! What if you took a look at Tom’s entry from yesterday, the Jet Monkeys. What about a pig in a full body leap with bat wings? I think the front on composition is confusing a complicated idea. Do yourself a favor and give him some perspective. Great start and a great concept!
I really liked the head-on look of my pig, but taking Casey’s advice, I sent in this version, which shows the pig from a full-body side angle. I like him too. I did two versions - one with horns and one without. Can’t decide which I like better. What do you think?
Fortunately for Luke, R2D2, and CP3O, the force WAS strong with Obi Wan Kenobi when Stormtroopers were seeking out the escaped droids who had fled to Tatooine with a secret encoded message from Princess Leia. My design suggests what the droids might’ve tried if the force hadn’t been so strong with Obi Wan. I think the Stormtroopers still would’ve been tricked. They didn’t seem so bright.
