Last December, I took this awesome screen printing class at Ink Lounge Creative, where I created my very own 2013 calendar. I of course had to bring really detailed and intricate artwork, just to give Nicky a challenge at creating my screens…but she rocked it, and they came out perfectly. (Thanks Nicky!) – Photo by […]

DKNG is a full service graphic design and illustration studio that works primarily in the entertainment industry, creating rock posters for the likes of Dave Matthews, Phish, The Black Keys, Jack White, etc. Their work is stunning and I’ve been a longtime fan.

Client Gifts 2012
Because of You, I Don’t Have to Eat Top Ramen. Thank You. For the holidays this year, I wanted to make something handcrafted and authentic for my clients. It was about time that I gave back to the people that helped make this year so memorable and awesome. So for each card, I hand-lettered the […]

Write on Time… Introducing Tetra
Back in March, I got this wild idea to create a multi-timer that you can write on. At our house, we’re always cooking multiple things at once, and I wanted a way to label the timers so we didn’t get confused. I don’t know the first thing about manufacturing, or have the time and money […]
