Man Shoe Lover

Working on a new t-shirt / poster design to screenprint in the next couple weeks. Men love shoes too.

Doggie Dash 2011

I designed the logo and logotype for the 2011 Doggie Dash put on by the Oregon Humane Society. My wife and I checked out the event this morning, she was so proud of the crowd of people wearing my logo.

Takeaway Piece / Portfolio Show Idea

This is a preliminary idea for a mini takeaway piece for my portfolio show at the Art Institute of Portland on June 17th. The sketch explains some of my ideas for materials and construction.

Personal ID / Photography reference

These reference photos were taken for some of the pattern illustrations i’m incorporating in my i.d. system. I walked around the house with my GF2 and snapped anything I could find that I use in the design process. After they were shot I thought of many more. I’m thinking of keeping this going to build a larger library of reference.
