'Patches-O-Plenty 2'
Stink load of embroidery patch art I created for Upper Decks NFL License.
If you'd like to see some of the Major League Baseball Licensed embroidery patches I designed for the same company you can view them by clicking here.
It was a lot of work but it was also a lot of fun.

I've long been one of your biggest fans, Von, and these are all up to the very high standards you set. I especially love the Bear Bryant patch. That hat says it all.
Holy baloney! Most impressive. How long were you working on this project? Very, very cool.
Have you then sucessfully made the leap all the way from Freehand, then?
Me, not so much... yet.
Thanks for sharing, these are rad.
Damn -- these are very cool -- must've been a LOT of work!
Ah yes FreeHand -vs- Illustrator. The honest answer is no I haven't complete cut the cord and the reason is because building core shapes and art in Illustrator is about four times longer because it's just more convoluted. Unless they change core functionality that will never improve so I tend to build all my shapes in FreeHand because I can't afford to bloat my production time and then finish it off in Illustrator.
So until they improve it I'll continue to use both. That said I can build it all in Illustrator it's just pathetically slower and on some art due to it's inane masking which still allows you to click on the masked content whether you want to or not it makes certain styles really difficult to pull off in Illustrator and still do it in a profitable time line.
So as for me and my work I'll continue to use both until Adobe stops treating Illustrator like the red headed step child of their creative suite.
I know *exactly* what you're talking about.
For me, it's that dang pen tool. My "Illustrator" friends just shake their head at me, but they have no idea how effective the pen tool is in Freehand. I draw directly with it, and it offers freedom and flexibility when I'm creating. This is killed in Illustrator.
I say all of this not to incite a "Illustrator VS Freehand" thing at all... but just that I find that everything I draw in Illustrator comes with great agony and time.
Sickly, I'm just pleased that I'm not alone in my pain.
wow Von...nice ones......i just love your illo style.....
