Art, Windmills, The Hub, Feet, and Dead Pigeons
Here's a sample of some of the work. I like the old Rob Roskopp influenced design. Since you're not 80 like me, I'll let you know Rob Roskopp was an 80's pro that never did any tricks, had any real ads, any photos in the mags, or any video footage. Just a good selling graphic.
