Mars Hill Illustration
Charles Brock recently did an illustration for Rob Bell’s Mars Hill Church. The image is a reference to the Biblical story of Jonah (you know, the guy who got eaten by a whale) and the season of Lent. Charles also did an illustration for them last year, which you can view after the jump. View the full illustration here.
Check it live on the Mars Hill Site (for a limited time only!).

We made blood in the studio yesterday. I can’t tell you why. All I can tell you is that it tasted a lot like Corn Syrup, Cocoa Powder, and red/blue food dye. Mmmmm boy….
We just got another project back in the mail; the nice folks at Algonquin were nice enough to send us a few copies of each of the books we’d designed for them last season. It was a really nice surprise!
The Girl Who Fell From the Sky was designed and illustrated by the very talented Connie Gabbert. You can see more pictures on our Flickr Stream.
Our design for Corked has hit stores. I think we started on it well over a year ago, so it’s nice to finally hold a copy in my hands. Connie Gabbert did a wonderful job on the title typography—she actually painted it with wine!
This was a design we concepted for a Jones Soda coffee-table book. If you don’t know, Jones Soda is a smallish-time crafter of unique sodas, with flavors like Fufu Berry, Strawberry Lime, and Blue Bubble Gum. Their labels feature images sent in by people all over the country. Our idea with this book was a way to display the most unique and memorable labels in a comprehensive book.
The lovely packaging was designed by Jeff Miller. You can see more pictures at Faceout Creative.
Jason Gabbert is now selling some of his photography online. Personally, I think these would like great riiiiiiiiiiight above my trophy case. If I had a trophy case, that is…
Cover Story : The Living Dead
It’s not every day that you get a project like The Living Dead. Not only are several of us big zombie fans, but The Living Dead: The Beginning is George Romero’s first work of trade fiction. Jeff Miller and I were excited to get our hands dirty…bloody…what have you.
A recent project by our very own Jason Gabbert. He gives a nice write-up of the process on his blog.
Just found this original illustration again while looking through some boxes (we recently moved our studio). Connie Gabbert actually painted this with real wine! I’m eternally grateful to people who can render type like this….way beyond me.
Apparently, Borders has chosen A Reliable Wife as its January Pick of the Month. Why is this exciting, you ask? Because we did the cover! The fact that Borders picked this books is ABSOLUTELY proof that book covers sell books. Um…don’t quote me on that…
