viva la visual

This is a new design featuring lots of original illustration for AIGA Houston's Texas-Themed Facebook Timeline Graphic Contest. I'll let you know how it turns out!

what would escher do?

Nike contacted me last year to do a T-shirt graphic for a new line of shirts. The words "All Time Best" needed to build out of each other three dimensionally. Unfortunately, you can only clearly see two faces of a word at any given angle, as the one face will be obscured by the letter next to it. So how do you apply three faces to words where you can only see two faces clearly? The solution was to create another face that is impossible in natural space, like M.C. Escher was famous for. The result of asking the question "What would Escher do?" was a dimension twisting take on Nike's branded typeface.

loop de loop

Houston is the new home of Noleo Fantastico, and to hohor it, I designed this type treatment inspired by the twisting and stacked highways of the city.

space needle

This poster design for Jackson's vinyl record swapmeet, 4 The Record, was inspired by my love of cosmology and the observation that the needle travels around the record like a ship in orbit.

i can haz suit

I can justify this design by saying that 1) It is inspired loosly by Fillmore posters of the '60s, as the two bands are of the Jam persuasion and 2) It is for a great cause - The Animal Rescue League of Mississippi. But really, I just wanted to put a cat in a suit.

x-cam & blackout packaging

The latest in high-tech hunting trail cams from PRIMOS demanded a high-end look, and that's what this set of box designs aim to deliver. They've got the box design equivelant of scattered, smothered, and covered...embossing, foil, and and varnishes.
