DOCUMENT DESIGN
I was Creative Director at Arson Outerwear for two years in which time i worked on everything from catalogs and In-Store branding to on garment pattern design, illustration and product labels. This was their 2006 Holiday Catalog using metallic papers and matte varnishes.
CUSTOM VINTAGE BEER CRATES
It's all about stencils baby! I love working with spray bombs and custom stencils. I create the design digitally then produce a vinyl stencil which is then sprayed and removed to reveal the final design.
I source each crate myself from vintage and antique stores, looking for just the right combination of aged and roughed appeal >>
Extra attention is given to match the planned design with the crates original weathering and wear. Sanding & rubbing of the paint gives the impression that the design is original to the crate >>
ALBUM DESIGN & PACKAGING
For the Sushi Cabaret Club's album I hired a local shodo-caligraphy artist to brush the bands name and song titles in traditional characters I then scanned them and super-imposed them over ancient rice paper artwork. Whos aged textures i mimiced throughout the cardstock cover.

This map was created for use in the annual Festival Guide. The illustration work is by my good friend, Keith Leinweber (www.fineweber.com).
DIGITAL COLLAGE is one of my favorite methods of creating. Its art in the digital world and opens up an unlimited palette of imagery, colors and style. For me working on a computer is an equal medium for art as a brush or pencil >>
