Thanks

For this illustration, I wanted to create a psychedelic turkey. This project required the abstraction and simplification of the complex nature of the turkey, and also includes some custom lettering.

Canvas Art

I have teamed up with a new start up to help design custom lettering and artwork that will be printed on large canvases and sold online through their new e-commerce website.

Also, If you scroll down, you can check out some of the behind the scenes work that when into each of these illustrations.

Sometimes You Gotta Say

Since this artwork needed to eventually be printed at up to 60”x40”, I recreated my photoshop sketch in Illustrator with vector graphics to ensure that the graphics would be as crisp as possible when printed at such a large size. This takes more time, because every last detail needs to be recreated, but at the end of the day, the final file will capture a much higher level of detail no matter how large the graphic is enlarged.

The Four Pearls - Book Design

I designed this book cover to cover for Lissa Coffee. The book is a short fable, and was designed to be happy and whimsical. The interior of the book is peppered with custom lettered quotes and titles.

Better Letters Hand Painted Showcard

I recently took a sign painting workshop with Mike Meyer of Better Letters. After the workshop, I was anxious to practice and put to use the new skills I had learned. I reached out to Mike to see if there was anything I could help him out with, so he let me design a show card for one of their workshop movie nights.

Wine Label - Promo Project

This wine label was an exercise in designing with contrasting typographic styles, and was made as a practice piece.

Drunk On Lettering

I was just recently interview by Roxy and Phoebe for their Drunk On Lettering Podcast. Had a great time talking about design, lettering, cheese, and lots of other fun stuff.

Fromagination Chalkboards

Custom chalkboards are a great way to get your message across in a straight forward and organized manner. Fromagination hired me to redesign and recreate their chalkboards. The large chalkboard menu is used during Concerts On The Square propped up against their sellers tent.

Life Is Now

This piece was created by using brush script calligraphy, and then post production within photoshop. I was able to capture the color by dipping a blue crayola marker into purple ink.

If We Are Unwilling To Fail

If we are unwilling to fail we are unwilling to learn. I originally set out to letter the quote "If we are unwilling to fail, we are unwilling to succeed", but I wound up changing it to "...we are unwilling to learn" on accident. Honestly, I enjoy this quote even better, and now it's actually my own quote. I firmly believe that although its painful at times, failure is always the best way to learn.

The Wisdom Collection

This is the title I designed for author Lissa Coffey's book entitled "The Wisdom Collection".

Tiny

This was just a lettering experiment. I thought it might look funny to see the word tiny lettering is a super bold and wide style. I then added tiny details to the lettering.
