I have indeed been neglecting my blog, but fortunately not my work. Recently I completed a series of graphics for the 2009 Solano County Crop report. I was approached by the Ag Office Supervisor with the idea of giving this year's report a hand-drawn, old-timey feel. This year being the 60th year of the crop report, she felt it would be appropriate to do some sort of commemorative seal to use as a watermark, and possibly the cover, while also creating two maps: one of the entire county, and one of Dixon Ridge, which is this year's highlighted region. Also needed were small graphics of all the county's major commodities for the maps, and for placement throughout the report.
Reviews have been very positive from the Ag Commissioner and various county board members. This has been a very successful collaborative effort, as all of the graphics were hand-drawn by me, and all save one were digitally colored by Jeremy.

For the Board of Supervisors meeting where the report is presented, it's in the 1 June 2010 video at 2 hours: http://www.co.solano.ca.us/depts/bos/meetings/videos.asp
