Jack Counts to 12

2010-11-15T15:12:00.008-06:00

This is totally funny....Jack Counts to 12 while hitting some balls at Sixmile Creek Golf Club. This is one of the last videos of Jack on the Golf Course this Summer...Keep in mind he is only 25 months old here...who know what his swing will be like when we break out of the Wisconsin Permafrost in 2011...We are gonna try to keep some kind of golf going thru the winter months for Jack and of course Dad.

North Texas Crime Stoppers

2009-09-09T22:15:00.005-05:00

Just getting ready to wrap up another logo project...This one is for the North Texas Crime Stoppers organization...I wanted to develop a logo that had big visual impact without a ton of clutter...The logo is very clean and to the point...it grabs your attention.

San Juan Capistrano Little League Logo

2009-08-20T22:46:00.006-05:00

As a former Southern Californian I'm very familiar San Juan Capistrano and It's History...Swallows, Missions & Baseball...So for this design I chose to pick-up on these themes...By keeping everything simple and graphic I was able to develop a look that celebrates the community and says "Baseball" at the same time...Hope this get's me one step closer to designing a logo for the World Series!!!

The Elm at Beverly Hills.

2009-08-11T22:49:00.017-05:00

Here is recent logo design for The Elm at Beverly Hills...I designed this logo for a condo building that has been completely renovated. The building was originally built in the 60's with a modern industrial look...It is located in Beverly Hills.

Whistling Straits

2009-06-01T11:19:00.007-05:00

78-75-73

2009-06-01T11:07:00.006-05:00

TWITTER

2009-05-18T21:43:00.008-05:00

Getting into this Twitter thing....
Pretty cool stuff...A Great way to get info out to many people vary fast.
I love searching for people of interest and following their "Tweets".
It's freaky to actually follow celebrity "Tweets" kinda like TwitterStalkin®

Blowin in the wind!!!

2009-05-15T22:14:00.001-05:00

First event of the season at the Bluff tomorrow.
Really looking forward to playing well...the wind is going to really be blowing hard 15-25mph...I like those conditions...

First Real Day for Golf this Season!!!!

2009-05-02T22:19:00.002-05:00

Well not the best start to the season but at least there is promise.
82 with 2 lost balls and poor putting....very easily could have been a 74.
I hit the ball well just did not score like I should.

2009 Pro-V1x

2009-04-27T12:54:00.007-05:00

Possibly the best ball ever!!! Really soft and straight.
I can't wait for the conditions here in Wisconsin to firm up a bit.
Everything is still turning green, we went from snow to rain in about 3 weeks.
The game is coming around.

Spring is Finally Here!

2009-04-24T12:10:00.003-05:00

Spring has Sprung in Madison!
We are finally seeing the grass turn green.
With sunny skies and temperatures in the 70's we might be on our way to summer.
I won't hold my breath yet.....

TAX DAY 2009!!!!

2009-04-15T21:48:00.005-05:00

Pay Your Freakin' TAXES!!!!

April Snow!

2009-04-13T16:23:00.002-05:00

Winter will not let go!!!
It's the Monday after Easter and it's cold as S$%^t...
Just watched the 4 o'clock news and the Forecast has snow in it.
Totally Sucks!!!

It's Spring in Augusta.

2009-04-08T16:59:00.008-05:00

I always look forward to the Masters each spring. This week marks the beginning of golf season for many around our country.
We will be witness to greatness this year....I think Tiger is going to crush the field. If you don't get goosebumps watching the back nine on Sunday you need a blood transfusion or something of that nature.

Old Fashion Ass Kickin'

I'm a big college basketball fan...
Watching North Carolina Destroy Michigan State Again is not too fun!
The Score is 43-20 with about 6 minutes left in the first half.

Actually a big Duke fan...while working for ZD Studios in Madison, WI I had the opportunity to do a ton of design work for their basketball training facility named after Coach K....I designed everything from banners in the practice gym to a "Themed Tunnel Experience" there is too much to mention....you will have to check out mikekovatch.com in the near future to see all my handy work in portfolio form.

Sooo Lucky!

2009-04-05T21:26:00.004-05:00

Well We Missed the Big Spring Snow Storm "For Now"!!!
We are Still 20 Degrees below our average high Temperatures for this time of year.
I still think we will get one more big snow fall before spring arrives sometime in May.

Spring in Wisconsin!

2009-04-04T21:15:00.003-05:00

Well it's Spring in Wisconsin!
We are expecting up to 7 inches of wet crappy snow after a bunch of freezing rain and sleet....
One good thing about living in Wisconsin is that we get to experience spring several times each year. LOL

See you Next Spring!!!!

Moose Jaw Soccer

2009-04-03T13:05:00.005-05:00

This is my latest attempt at Graphic Design.....
It is very difficult working with organizations that are not very experienced with Image & Brand.
The Logo was a Contest winner for a Soccer Organization in "Moose Jaw" Canada, they need some coaching on how to use this mark in all the correct ways....I'll help them get the ball rolling...let's see where they stand 6 months from now.
