Shortly after my deployment to Iraq I was asked to develop the website for the Massachusetts National Guard. For the last four years I have managed and maintained the site. Posting well over 450 separate stories and videos. This year our organization submitted the site for consideration in the National Guard Bureau Media Awards. Our site came in second only behind a state that had their site outsourced to a development company. Not too shabby for an all guard designed and managed website. I would be remiss in not thanking the folks at NGB and GKO for our hosting and technical support.

Today marks the first Sketch Day feature on ArmyIllustrator.com.
Some time ago I worked as a screen print artist for a local company. I’ve since moved on to a different job but it’s always nice to rely on past experiences to get new tasks done. Here is the T-shirt design for the 26th “Yankee” Brigade, Massachusetts National Guard. I was asked to come up with final art by the brigade commander based on a comp he came up with. The software I used for this was illustrator and photoshop.

LOWELL, Mass. – Seventy deploying Soldiers filed from the bus that had brought them across the flight line to the waiting command group and the aircraft that would fly them from Hanscom Air Force Base to their mobilization site at Fort Bliss, Texas on Dec. 6, 2010.
The line snaked along with starts and stops as the Soldiers, apparently preoccupied with their own thoughts, hesitated briefly as they acknowledged the general and two command sergeants major waiting to wish them off as they reached the foot of the boarding stairs. (more…)
