Quick bit of fun. Got to do this nifty little postcard for Kirkbrides. If only all jobs were this hassle-free — fun photos, attractive subjects, “check’s in the mail already” kinda attitudes… in a word: pleasant. Scott over at the ever-prolific Aperture shot the photography.

ockuly asked: i stumbled upon your Salon 1896 design concepts, and found them quite pleasing to mine eye. Sarah Vorhees cuts my hair. it occurs to me that this is more of a group of statements rather than a question, per se. keep up the good work!

Thanks a ton man. It’s weird how people get connected these days. Our world is hella small but also full of some sweet people. Annnnnnd that concludes my posi-statements for the day.

Happy … October. Well, we must get a jump on things here. Featured above is the logo and initial graphics for the Tremont Holiday Brewhaha. Sure to be an exciting 3 day long, neighborhood wide event. Be sure to scoop up the details as they surface!

Small update! The Grobin book release event has been announced. November 11th at Aperture in Tremont.

It’s going to be a hoot — drinks, treats and of course more black n’ white cartoon material than you can shake a stick at.

Brrrrand new, as-of-yet-to-even-be-printed poster for an excellent photo event at The Greenhouse Tavern, partnered with Apreture and the generous benefactor The Impossible Project.

And now for something a little less-serious: the NoodleCat people are good folks. So much so, that while opening up their place of noodles and hijinks, they decided the tables needed some instruction on just HOW to eat their tasty concoctions. This above is the solution - an anthropomorphised cat and bowl, slurpin’.

Bed bugs and other nighttime-nasties have always been a lot more threatening than the childhood jingle let on… JT Eaton Co. has been developing numerous products to properly combat bed bug infestations. Among these products, mattress encasement is one of the main lines in defense and prevention. With these new releases for their bed bug line, they need a bold, direct system that could read easily on the shelves.

I don’t usually cross-promote too much, but here is something I have been working on for a while in regards to my childrens book series Grobin the Dog. I am aiming to wrap up the second installment (this story) very soon. For more info and updates, have a look at his own site, here.

And why not a little fun? My niece is turning 3 and what uncle with a smattering of design chops wouldn’t make an invite for her? I also do face painting…

Alas, another job that “wasn’t”. These above are the orphaned concepts for a salon in Columbus aptly titled Salon 1896 (as opposed to the presumed 1894). Ultimately, they played their final mark closer to the chest for various reasons. I took a small degree of satisfaction from the owner who was remiss in not being able to go with one of my concepts. Thanks Sarah.
