New CSL Logo Design
This is just an idea I had for the Cactus Softball League. I designed the current logos that are being used, but sometimes I like to mess around with new designs. Its possible that this could be used somehow in the future.
I wanted a rattlesnake in the logo. The current logos have a cattle skull in them. I still think that is probably the best way to go but I wanted to mess around a bit with another idea. So I set out to look for clipart of a rattlesnake that I could use for my new logo. After searching and not finding anything worth using, I decided to draw it by hand and then draw it in Illustrator. It turned out pretty good in my opinion (which is obviously biased). I tried a few different looks for the snake, but decided on what you see here. I kept the same font because I thought it would be good for something to stay consistent in the logos.

Birds Of Prey: Prairie Falcon
I’ve been pretty slack lately about blogging. So until I have something interesting to write about, here is one of my drawings. Its a Prairie Falcon that I drew a while back. It actually took me a long time to finish this drawing. I have a bad habit of really getting into doing one thing which will consume my time and then I’ll get tired of it. Drawing is one of those things. I had started the drawing while I was excited about drawing and then stopped halfway through when I got tired of doing it. When I got the motivation to finish the drawing it was probably six months later! I’ve actually got a Peregrine Falcon that I’ve started and need to finish.
Birds of Prey: Red-Tailed Hawk
birds of prey
My favorite animals are birds of prey. Hawks, falcons, eagles, owls, kites, etc. Well, except maybe vultures, though they have a certain macabre quality to them. Well I probably will be less likely to draw a vulture than a hawk or a falcon. I started drawing pictures of birds of prey in colored pencil within the past year or so. Alas, I cannot draw from memory and so I use pictures to draw from. This is one of the first raptors I did in color pencil. It’s an American Kestrel. Most people that pass one on a powerline wouldn’t give it a second glance because of its size. But they are wonderfully colored birds.
