New Work: Troublesome Houses Show

I was asked earlier this year to create a piece for a show entitled troublesome Houses, an exhibition inspired by the music of Will Oldham.  I've listened to Bonnie Prince Billy for years, so it was a no brainer. One of my favorite songs of his is called "I see a Darkness" which has been reworked many times over the years including a cover by Johnny Cash. I wanted to create a piece that centered around the title, set against a swirling storm.

I used the opportunity to experiment with acrylic, designing a dimensional piece, seven layers deep. Needless to say I was extremely pleased with the final result. Kevin Titzer curated an amazing show, which kicked off it's opening night last friday.  The show will be on display thru December 14th at PUBLIC Gallery 131 W. Main St. Louisville, KY.
Work by all the artists can be seen here.

New Work: Shelby Park Mural

Recently I was commissioned to create a mural in the Shelby Park neighborhood in Louisville by Access Ventures. Working with the neighborhood association, we talked to members of the community about what Shelby Park meant to them and how they would summarize the neighborhood. The response was overwhelming and after pouring over the feedback I focused on a statement that reflected Shelby Park's positive outlook and growth as a tight-knit community. 

As opposed to previous murals the building was very wide, presenting a great opportunity to explore new constraints. After several mock-ups I decided to create a design that is legible in it's entirety from the street. Once approved, I again collaborated with sign painter Kirby Stafford to bring the design to life.

Quiet Company Swag

I recently designed some swag for Austin's very own Quiet Company, who are on tour now. Be sure to check them out and nab a shirt while you're at it.

Orange Coast Magazine

Last month I was asked to create the cover lettering for OrangeCoast magazine's "Book of Lists" issue. The goal was to create something that looked like it might be pulled off an old bookshelf. It was a pretty quick turn around and a hell of a lot of fun.

New Work: Shirts for POTSC

Earlier this year People of the Second Chance asked me to design a couple shirts using some phrases close to the organization's heart & mission. Really happy with how they turned out.
