Happy Holidays

hope all is well

Mikey Cheese / The Two Elephants

I have always thought it would be a cool idea to open a small grilled cheese boutique, out of fun I developed a logo for it, maybe I will open it someday. 

The Two Elephants is a idea that a friend had, she is a culinary arts student and she always thought that would be an interesting name for a business, elephants are amazing animals. I agreed with her and came up with a possible idea.

Drawing

It's always fun to step away from a medium of choice and do something different, oil pastel on a piece of sheetrock I pulled from a dumpster.

Snapping photos is always fun, all 35mm

El Scarehouse Crest

El Scarehouse was a blog that turned into a general mindset shared by a group of skateboarders that I have called friends since I was quite young. From documenting our travels, to making small prints of shirts, hats, stickers or whatever comes to mind, El Scarehouse is run by friends and is 100% for the friends who make skateboarding what it is for all of us.

This is a screen print I developed and printed on a piece of scrap wood, simple.

The Plymouth Zoo

Developing small items can be difficult at times, in order to teach myself to work in specific sizes, I developed a postcard for a fictional Plymouth Zoo. I had a lot of fun drawing up the penguin in illustrator and plain to use him again somewhere. 

Discover Your Potential

This project was completed while interning at EBSCO Publishing. The purpose of the poster campaign was to re-invite recent college graduates to the library system, a place where more than just studying can take place. After months of tweaks and changes, the overall idea was passed and the posters were printed and sent to public libraries all over Alabama.

The Great Depression

A small series of pieces influenced by my infatuation with the great depression, a time period that some can even relate to today. These three are painted on cedar shakes by means of acrylic and spray paint.

Papa

This is a piece I did for my family after my grandfathers passing, it's something that helps us all remember him for who he was to each and every one of us.

Providence Magazine

I spent a lot of time in Providence, Rhode Island this past summer, it is a great little city with a very unique feel to it, its accessibility is quick and easy, plus it has endless things to skate and get inspired by. Here is a cover, 3 spreads and overall feel of a magazine that I thought interprets the vibrant and unique feel of the small city.

Madlib Poster

This was a project completed in school, developed under the idea of creating a poster for our spring concert. My musician of choice was Madlib, if you know his music then you know his even level of sampling and beats, a well appreciated beat conductor amongst many genres of music.
