Illustrated logos

Although I was initially trained as a graphic designer, I rarely do design work anymore. The prospect of doing a layout now fills me with dread. There are many illustrators out there who are successful designers as well - but I am not one of them. The closest I get to being a designer nowadays, is when I get commissioned to do an illustrated logo.  Below are some behind the scene sketches of a logo I did quite a while a ago. I really enjoyed this one and the client was very happy.
