Was a huge honor to illustrate this childrens book with Chronicle Books in San Francisco. The book written by Molly Smith in conduction with The NRDC which is the Nation Resource Defense Council and a wonderful cause. The book is an activity book that teaches children ways they can help protect their environment and some the species within it. Was really fun to work on a great project. Not to mention the last two pages has more than 80 full color stickers to use throughout the book! So fun! Please go buy the book here and help support a great cause: http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/m...ier-Earth/

A fun yogurt and smoothies concept that I branded that allows the guest to build their own yogurt combination. The Yummo brand was designed to create a contemporary asian yogurt influenced experience for the whole family. I created everything from logo, stationary package, signage, environmental graphics and apparel. More info on my site: http://www.tadcarpenter.com/work/bran...smoothies/

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all get everything you ever wanted. Every year I do a series of Holiday cards of some sort. This year I created a series of 6 holiday cards silkscreened on chipboard. I wanted to do a bit of an untraditional color palette. I love the metallic grey and yellow on the chipboard. Really fun. All were packed together with yellow and grey envelopes and sold at our Vahalla gallery. Again, Happy Holidays!

One of my favorite people to work with is Anorak Children's magazine. Always a thrill to work with them. For the winter issue I created a maze. That poor pooch ate all kinds of things he shouldn't have. Good luck getting through the maze. It's a gas! More images found here: www.tadcarpenter.com
