An open creative landscape for the “World’s First T-Shirt Bakery” led to a variety of confectionary themed illustrations, logos and typographic explorations. Throw your hands up in the air if you like quirky puns, this isn’t your average clothing brand.
Isn’t life truly “burritoful”? When you have a warm tortilla in one hand and the other diving into a bowl of creamy guacamole, it’s really hard to argue. This icon and brand exploration aims to show all of the unique and beloved elements that go into what makes Chipotle’s Mexican cuisine so darn tasty.
Decaf? Weak roast? Burnt? Death Wish Coffee Co. is coming for you. You better get your fresh pot game in check. Extremely jazzed to work with the brand on this exclusive shirt design. Fear the reaper, not your morning caffeine fix.
When the adventure loving crew of Munich based True Brew Brewing Co. came searching for a brand identity, I had to help quench their thirst. As a beer fan, working with beer maniacs was like a match made in malty heaven. After a few explorations and emptied mugs, they settled on what we call the “Flashpint”.
Teamed up with Lancaster based creative studs at Infantree to bring this educational video about Rodale Institute’s “Grow Clean Water” initiative to life. The food we grow and the water we drink are more connected than you probably think. Help keep our waterways clean.
Various marks and logos gathered throughout the years, ranging from corporate identities to a childhood friend's passion project.
Coach called me out of the penalty box to create several mascot based designs for lifestyle and icy gridiron brand Violent Gentlemen. Their attention to gritty design detail is almost as strong as their work ethic, and their love for a gloves-free brawl.
Been there, watched that. The golden age of entertainment and media is upon us, leaving no iconic brand safe from a little humor and parody at the hands of Johnny Cupcakes. Can you catch all of the references from over the years?
LA based gallery G1988 is well known for their pop culture fused shows that honor cult classics, entertainment icons, and the creativity that is ultimately inspired by them. Here are a few submissions for their variously themed shows over the years.
Regardless of cultural, political, or social identity, everyone shares a similar concept of what home is, and what makes it special to them. Something warm and comfortable, where no judgement exists, and love can prosper. Home seamlessly can transform into a restaurant, nursery, office, gym, or a movie theatre. It’s where sleep is lost or gained, imaginations run free, hobbies are explored and created, and time is spent with loved ones. These tiny worlds we create for ourselves exist in a parallel universe with others, and building a sustainable home is something that binds us all.
In cities like Allentown, it is where a diverse base of people from various backgrounds live closely to one another, sometimes unknowingly weaving the personality of the community. The combination of everyone’s traditions and experiences are what makes it unique.
Pittsburgh pride runs deep at native clothing company “Steel City”. Their passion for black and yellow wearing sports fanatics makes you feel like family, and holds true in these designs.
The mouse is in the house. This notoriously famous rodent hit 90 years old yesterday. Here’s my contribution to (drumroll) The Disney Mickey Mouse Arthouse exhibition at Melbourne Central. Major kudos to Eddie Zammit and Radio Velvet for the incredible opportunity, and putting my work up amongst 90 other killer artists from around this blue and green planet.

Aspirational start-up apparel brand Josh & Jess LLC sent me on a mission to create several sets of character designs poised with conveying a bigger, important message.
In their words, “The message is simple; you can achieve your dream. If you have been given the dream, you have been blessed with the ability to achieve it. Our mission is to give visibility through apparel to dreams. Specifically, those dreams and aspirations African Americans and people of color have had limited exposure to.”
Logos and iconography for various Toyota Material Handling programs and initiatives, fresh off the palette.
Gleefully collaborated with 55 Hi's for this poster tribute to a cinema cult classic. Created the illustrations to support the "Did You Know?" facts spread throughout the layout. Surprisingly, no “Motherf*ckers” were uttered.
Check your weed stereotypes and skunky jokes at the door. Or don’t. Nicky Skunks doesn’t care. They’re a brand that embraces and overlaps the quirkiness of pop and marijuana culture. There were pretty much zero restrictions with these, so needless to say I gave my imagination the wheel. Try to imagine if High Times shared the same creative director as DC Comics and Entertainment Weekly.
If you think mowing down a few beefy dogs before shredding the powdery slopes is going to give a Yeti a side sticker, you are terribly incorrect. This snowboard deck design was commissioned as a graduation gift for my second cousin before he moved out west to the outdoor wonderland of Colorado.
Don Q needed a brand facelift, and being on the team to usher in a new identity for the Puerto Rican Rum company was a long conceptual process, but it gave birth to a fresh contemporary look that equally reflects the brand's rich heritage, and where it wants to go. As they would say, the final result was "unquestionable".
Though many believe the NFL has become and earned it's title as the "No Fun League", players still find ways to express themselves while playing the game they love. One of the more recent trends has been custom cleats. ESPN picked up on that, and assigned a few designers, including myself, to create our own versions for select athletes. I got the league's fun-loving party boy, Rob Gronkowski. I envisioned "Gronk" as a literal colonial patriot soldier, crossed with his own flamboyant party yacht style.
