I ran into my old friend Evan while drinking coffee at Sunergos. We use to print together at Monkey Drive; I have always have had respect for him and a secret desire to design a t-shirt for his band Young Widows. When we spoke at S-gos he filled me in on his life and later he sent me his new record which will be released sometime in the spring.

The record rules! I had to design a t-shirt.

Skulls are nothing new. But, Young Widows has always been able to execute the over done image in new creative cool ways... from such artists as Birder and Derek Snodgrass. For my approach i decided to look to both those artists for inspiration while clearly creating my own style.

In the end i feel like we have an original piece that ties into the Young Widows identity.

We are both pleased

The Results Came in!

The LGDA just had their 21st annual Louisville's 100 best graphic design/illustration/photography awards ceremony.

There were 50-ish graphic design pieces that were accepted into the show out of hundreds-ish.

I recieved 2 (Sojourn vision booklet and the Speaks wedding invite) out of the 14 Golds and 1 Silver (Boyce admissions).

Super humbled and honored by the whole process. I never knew that Louisville had so many Baller designers.

rooted progress

I was asked to design a t-shirt that expressed the need for Southern students to invest locally in the economy, culture, and all together well-being of the city of louisville. I didn't want to do a skyline or a fleur de lis... so i went a little more broad. The writers here came up with the tag "rooted progress" and from that i created this.

found this

on a stock site, thought i would share it.

brand system

Here is an example of a brand system in its early stages. i created this for a new alumni department emerging at Southern.

I put this together 18,000 times quicker then my logo.
