Little Black Fish book review

I recently received a book review by James Moffitt of RVA Magazine, for my comic adaptation of "The Little Black Fish" Check it out here.

I designed the logo, business cards and signage for a boutique wedding collective in Richmond, Virginia. They are located at 425 Strawberry Street, Richmond, Virginia

OUTDOOR | INDOOR Snake revisit

I wasn't happy with the way my snake page turned out so I reworked it. Much happier now. Still not sure if it's finished.

Next three pages of OUTDOOR | INDOOR

Below are the next 3 pages of an experiment that will eventually be translated as an "infinite canvas." To keep my interest I've been attempting to do 5 pages at a time. I hope to have some more soon. (Click images to enlarge.) The rest can be seen here.

Movie/show Posters

I made this posters inspired by the aesthetics of Reza Abedini and Adam Juresko. Tried to make their screen-print looking collage approach my own. These were made for X-mas gifts. Don't worry, I don't feel confident sending the framed works to them, so they know what they are getting already. I also used two icons from Scott Lewis' iconify.it.

Next four bikes for my Richmond bike poster

The next completed four bikes for my 36"X48" poster on Richmond bikes. Again, since 36" X 48" posters can be expensive to print ... so I decided to offer up incentives for participants to donate money for my initial print costs (I hope to print more of the posters at a smaller scale).

Call for Photos for a Bike Poster

I am working on a minimalist-ish poster of Richmond, VA bicycles. As of now, I expect them to be displayed in a grid with the cyclists name and age under it. The final product will be 36" X 48". The poster is for an exhibition at Virginia Commonwealth University's MoB space.

MoB + Storefront operates on the principle that good design makes a healthier city where citizens participate more fully in their environment, their government and their culture.

Since 36" X 48" posters can be expensive to print ... I decided to offer up incentives for participants to donate money for my initial print costs (I hope to print more of the posters at a smaller scale).
