Embracing my inner Hitchcock…

Coin Operated Films commissioned me to design a poster to accompany the script for a movie called Focus Group. I was told the poster ought to have a 50’s Hitchcockian feel to it. No sweat and my pleasure! I threw the Psycho soundtrack on repeat and…

Save the Date! (Whoa now…it’s not for me…)

Here’s a Save the Date I just finished for my friends Bassel and Alyse. They told me they were initially brought together through a love of cats and music. I’m always so honored when I get to do anything affiliated with a wedding. Enjoy!

Baylor Series…BU vs K State

My good friend Graham Allen has commissioned me to do a weekly illustration for all the Baylor University football games this season. I get to come up with and draw the Baylor Bear doing something violent and/or profane the each week’s opposing team’s mascot. Pretty awesome!!

His only stipulations for me are that they be done in one sitting, with only a pen, and NO ERASING! I consider it both a great challenge and an incredibly flattering testament to his faith my abilities.

Let the Baylor mayhem commence!

Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On…Ben Burns!

Just finished this poster for Chicago singer-songwriter Ben Burns. As for creative direction, he said he wanted it to have a clear Autumn feel to it and to be depicted walking through a cornfield with a brilliant sunset reflecting in the sky above him. Here’s how it turned out…

Cover Art for Plastic Boots!

My good friend, and talented drummer, Aaron Apter asked if I’d design some cover art for an online release of his band The Plastic Boots’ three song EP called “Saturday Night Slut”. In his email of ideas, he was picturing a juxtaposition of “good girl” and “naughty girl” involving the daytime innocent office scenario versus the partying nighttime bar scene (even mentioning, yes, those dreaded but tasty alcohol-packed fishbowls!). Here’s what I came up with:
