Ice Cream and Illustration

Ok, so one of my very first big illustration projects was back in 2000 for an ice cream company called Philly Swirl and the photo taken below was from a few weeks ago. Often times it seems like illustration can be a bit "seasonal" in the world of branding, but these characters have withstood the test of time and helped give the Philly Swirl brand a solid fun look. Over the years, the company has used my 6 action illustrations on all types of packaging, games, and promotions. Some really cute kids I know spotted my art and snapped this adorable fun summer photo...reminding me of my early days and the power of an image on a package. I'm also posting a few of the originals, still some of my favorite creations...
