I was asked to create a promotional graphic based off the Milton Glaser classic for New York. The idea was to promote the love of the free press. Stickers were initially made and based on their success, additional promotional items received the graphic as well. I have provided some initial sketches and comps to share part of the concept process.

Working with our sponsorship team and the folks from the Ka’anapali beach resort, I originally developed a print ad promoting this contest to win a trip to Maui. I also created a logo for the contest which has been used regularly as the contest had ran multiple times since it began. With an excellent selection of image source material provided by the client, I was able to design and layout additional ads that showcase the beauty of the resort and location.

We developed this campaign to encourage folks to check out the robust content of the Sunday paper. With lots of great visual imagery available, we were able to combine that with great copy writing to entice casual readers to purchase a Sunday subscription.

This campaign was also awarded a “Bronze M award for print campaign” by Marketing NW Magazine.

Using the existing logo for this football themed contest, I created an updated campaign promoting the Guest Guesser game. The trick with this was to reference the local pro football team without using the name.

I enjoy taking some of the personal work I make and seeing what other applications they may have. Graphics that were initially stickers or art prints were adapted into enamel pin designs. I also took time creating backing cards that were relevant to each pin design.

With strong imagery provided by our partner/client, I was able to showcase the beauty and charm that bring folks to Bend. This campaign served a dual purpose of encouraging folks to visit Bend and offering an opportunity to win a vacation package.

Skills – Photography, Screen Printing.

In 2008 I had the opportunity as an exhibiting poster artist in the Seattle – Havana poster show to travel to Havana for a week of meeting fellow poster artists and designers. While I was there, I photographed the entire trip. In 2016 I again was able to travel back to Havana to participate in the Seattle Havana Tehran poster show and also run a small print workshop in connection with Clandestina which is a Cuban design/fashion studio in Havana Vieja. I screen printed a few of my photos leading up to the 2016 trip to help me raise funds for the journey.

I had fun making this series of Holiday emails. Each email having a little bit of custom made type via laying out type and making the threads on screen match. Decisions had to be made as to which sections would remain in order to keep it true to how a knitted sweater would be created.

With a desire to share my love of the great outdoors, one of many reasons I love the PNW, I embarked on making something useful for camping. I wanted to focus on adding my art and ideas on functional products for folks to use while they are enjoying nature. I managed to source the mugs and find a printer to work with to apply the “The Good Stuff” piece I put together. Slightly modified from a font I like using, the idea behind the good stuff is to enjoy what you consider is good stuff.

Leading up to football season, these ads were developed to encourage folks to check out season preview content available in print and online. I had the opportunity to create some background textures with watercolors as the focus of the ad was to be cover of the content section created by the newsroom.

With a small budget available to make invites to an in-house sales rally, I was able to convince the internal clients to allow me to screen print some football eyeblacks with the company logo and adhere them to the invites. The sales staff loved the invites and some of them even hung the invites up at their desks.
