I'm excited to announce that I was recently invited to join the comprehensive design and gallery house Abztract. After seeing the amazing international group of artists involved with this collective, I could not refuse the invitation. The Abztract team includes talented people like HiddenMoves, EyeFormation, JustinK, Arkiv Instant, Papermonster, Veng, and not to mention Art Director and Co-Founder of Abztract, Shia Dahan. These are just a few of the many great artists involved with Abztract. You can check everybody out and learn more at www.abztract.com. The site also has lots of great art prints and original works available for purchase. I'd like to thank Shai and everybody at Abztract for welcoming me to the group.

Rock'n Roll Wedding

I was recently approached about a project that involved designing a gigposter for a wedding. The Fergusons wanted to create a unique invitation/thank you for guests of their wedding. It is obviously great memorabilia and keepsake for their family as well. I thought it was a great way to put a fresh spin on the whole wedding invitations/thank yous. We incorporated imagery that is very personalized to their courtship and personalities. are the results:

Basement Gallery Sidewalk Sign

I was recently commissioned by the lovely folks at the Basement Gallery to create a sidewalk sign for their fine establishment. I've never really done a sidewalk sign before, so it was exciting to learn a lot of new things in the process. It stands about 4'ft tall and encourages people on the street to take a look at all the fabulous art in the Basement. Speaking of fabulous art, the Gallery currently has an amazing show on exhibit featuring British artists Jane Andrews & James Tisdale along with several local artists like Tarmo Watia, Molly Hill, & John Taye.
