After 5 solid years of not being able to run due to injury, I’ve been so grateful to get back into it. I decided to take a little time to illustrate my favorite pair of shoes that helped get me going stronger, farther, and faster than ever before. Since running and illustrating are my main releases these days, it only seemed appropriate. Cheers to Nike and the Run Club app. Thanks to NWA’s own Rush Running for fitting me into the right kicks.

One of my favorite projects to date, I had the pleasure of creating some artwork for the cutting-edge music-mixing game, DropMix, by Harmonix and Hasbro.  It still feels surreal seeing it on shelves, and I'm so proud to have had the privilege of participating with so many other amazing artists I admire and being a part of something so unique.  Congrats to the team for their Innovative Toy of the Year Award 2018 nomination.

For this particular part of the project, I was glad to make a set of illustrations for the song "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd.

It was a blast creating this print for my old buddies in The Rocketboys.
They are a fantastic band from Austin, TX, and have a knack for transporting their listeners to a different place both lyrically and sonically.  I had the pleasure of playing with these gentlemen several times with my old band in my old touring days, and it was always mesmerizing.  
Their album artwork utilized a canyon and disco ball overlay, and I liked the mixture of organic and metallic.  For this, I wanted to keep a similar theme, but kept both images organic, though one devoid of water and one that requires it.  Life juxtaposed, I suppose.

It was a pleasure to create artwork for Andrew Bird.
His musicianship is phenomenal, and always so creative.  I love his storytelling ability, and it was an honor to provide the poster for the opening night of this tour.  
For the imagery, I thought this fit well with the blend of the organic, warm tonality and calculated, mathematical aspect of his music.

As always, it's a true pleasure to work with one of my favorite bands—especially for the opening night of the tour.

The lone stag in the wilderness is a concept that inspires me.  He's alone, yet searching.  His surroundings are treacherous, yet epic.  I also like to combine geometric shapes and odd coloration with organic life—the contrasting mixture is something I enjoy.  I think Wilco does that well from a musical standpoint, and never seem to mind being a bit unconventional.

It is always an honor to work with a band like Wilco, and with their history of fantastic tour posters by artists I admire, the honor only amplifies.

The concept behind this poster was the idea of a songbird casting a shadow, and that shadow coming to life to symbolize not only what he fears, but what lies inside of himself.  Wilco's songs tend to have that light and darkness that always inspires so well.

Motopony's new EP is already making big waves, and it is such a pleasure to work with such a talented band on a tour poster as they travel throughout the United States and overseas.

Having heard these songs for quite some time, and getting to know the band through stories and conversations on the phone, this is what I saw in my head when they asked me to create a poster for this tour.  The vision was shared and these turned out really nicely.  It's always exciting when subtleties translate.

Washed Out is a fantastic band on Sub Pop records.
I was glad to work with them on this project.  This limited edition print was created for their show at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK in support of their new album, Paracosm.  Small Black is also an excellent band, and put on a fantastic show.  I was glad to share these with them, as they have a high regard for tour posters.

I listen to Washed Out and music of that vein quite often while I'm designing.  The calm and chill nature of their music lends itself to an other-worldy quality, so ghosts just felt natural...or supernatural, I suppose.  Stylistically, I was aiming for a mid-century children's book quality.

This poster was a limited run of 105 prints, and some are available in the shop.

If you have not heard of Motopony, now you have and you are welcome—you would have soon anyway.  This band from Seattle, WA is an odd blend of folk, electronic, rock, magic, and spirit.

When I was asked to create the imagery for their new EP Idle Beauty, I was excited to get to work.  Upon hearing the songs, there was a sense of the past meeting the present in a sonic soundscape that painted a picture of standing on the beach under the moon and dancing free with lifelong friends.

This collaboration with singer Daniel Blue produced a geometric logo and cover that embodies the peace and atmosphere the band embraces so fondly. 

Check out Motopony here.

This was created for Wilco's 2010 tour and ended up being one of their best-selling merch items.  The band lovingly named the cat "Mr. Mustachestopholes".

When Motopony's Daniel Blue released his solo EP The Agreeable White Tiger Moth, I was commissioned to create this limited edition screen print in honor of the album release show.

I listened one night as he explained the story behind the title and my imagination was captured.  To hear him tell of the connection he felt with a moth one late evening, I had to do my best to represent the little creature that befriended him.

This 2 color 18'x24" print is available in the shop.

This project was part of Record Store Day in 2011.  It was an honor to have this chosen by Ben Howard to represent the song "Black Flies".  This was part of the Secret 7" fundraiser, and was featured in one of London's prominent art houses.
