Mapped Out

I’m incredibly excited to announce my first shirt printing with Threadless went on sale today. I originally submitted the design as part of the Threadless Chrome Atrium contest back in October of last year. Even though it did very well in the votes, it wasn’t chosen for the contest. I had pretty much given up on having it printed by an online design site when Threadless contacted me in February and [...]

In the Foothills

It’s been way too long since I last posted. It’s been a whirlwind of a few months and to be honest I don’t really feel like unpacking it all here right now. What I can say is that I finally have a job, and equally as exciting, it’s in Colorado. I’m currently sitting in Starry Night Cafe sipping on a decaf Cafe au Lait and I feel like I’ve find a piece of myself. It’s [...]

The End: a tribute to Lost Shirt

PLEASE VOTE FOR MY SHIRT HERE. thanks so much! This past week I’ve been mourning the end of Lost. I bawled both time I’ve watched it this week. It’s been such a big part of my life over the past 5 years (didn’t start watching till season 2) that I had to do something with all the information that’s been swirling around in my head. I was worried that I would run out of references [...]

Woot!

One of the first things I decided when I got laid off was that I wasn’t going to become stagnant as a designer. I’m somewhat of a project-oriented designer and I was worried that I might lose focus and ambition without specific things to work on. I didn’t want to spend my days on the couch watching Donahue; I just wasn’t going to let that happen. So one of the first things I did was to [...]

Into The Void

Okay here’s a quick one that I did tonight. To be honest I’m not quite sure where it came from. Apparently I was channeling a 1980’s Ray Bradbury or Philip K. Dick paperback. Hope you like it.

Beach Baptism

Okay, it’s been way too long since I’ve posted. My apologies to the 25 people a week who check this out. Here’s a last minute design I did for Summit last week. It’s for their upcoming Beach Baptism on April 25th. Virg and I went to our first Summit Beach Baptism back in October and it was quite an awesome experience. There’s something about an outdoor Baptism that feels like [...]

the small beginning of something bigger

One of the things I want to do with this site is to create a media resource library for churches. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the work I’ve been doing for Summit. I’ve found great joy in designing worship slides, sermon series, and other collateral and I would like to share my work with other churches that can’t necessarily afford full time graphic designers. Initially, I will post free worship [...]

The Blue Gnu

Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve posted and this project is partially why. I designed a promotional poster for Summit’s middle school youth group, Surge. The poster promotes an upcoming scavenger hunt at the Winter Park Arts Festival where the students have to find different people and characters at the festival. The poster was to have a Where’s Waldo feel to it. Hidden in the image [...]

My First Paid Design

The summer after my freshman year at the University of Arkansas I had the opportunity to be an intern at The King’s College in NYC. It was an amazing experience living in the city. Some time after my internship I did a sketch of different iconic architectural symbols from around the world with the Empire State Building on top (The King’s College is located in the basement level of the Empire State [...]

Always Learning: Computer Arts Tutorials

A couple of years ago I was at Barnes and Noble perusing the graphic design magazines for inspiration when I came across Computer Arts Magazine. The magazine was normally shrink-wrapped but someone had decided to take off the plastic so I felt completely justified in thumbing through it. I was amazed by the articles and even more so the tutorials for the mag. Unfortunately, it being an import from the UK each [...]
