I started out with simple geometric abstractions. I can never stay with clean and simple for long. After a while, messy and chaotic took over.

This is for the local football team.

I quickly became tired of the Christmas colors.

There was a secondary motive for our Christmas project. At the large extended family gathering, everyone had an unique cup. That solved the "Is that your beer or mine" problem.

I am also including some that did not make the final cut for our Christmas project. These have been reworked, and in some cases evolved to where the posted item bears almost no resemblance to the original. This is one of those.

The image size we needed to wrap the cups was closer to a square. I have resized the originals to fit the 16:9 ratio I use on this blog. The resizing in some combination of cropping, squeezing, stretching, and extending. But for the most part it remains true to the original.
