THE POSTER

These are being screen-printed at APE DO GOOD in San Francisco. Owner and friend, Anthony Skirvin, was kind enough to keep me posted each step of the way. Come by our show on January 17th to see them in the flesh. 

COLLABORATING WITH MY BROTHER IN SAN FRANCISCO

HINTERLAND is Riley McFerrin’s furniture and design company (and so much more….just check out the site already, it’s amazing). He’s asked me to work on a few drawings for this event we’re planning in SF (Jan 17th). He will be launching all his new line and I will try not to get in his way. Also, our friends at PROPELLER will have a few of our pieces on display. Please come out and show your support.

DRAWING AT THE BOTANIC

On a recent trip to Brooklyn I found myself spending a good chunk of time sketching at the Japanese Garden. This tiny brown paper notebook was purchased right there at the gift shop.

THIS IS NOT A GHOST - BY FELIX

But we are knee-deep in ghost art at our house right now…..and the hits just keep coming.

CITY OF BOHANE

A book cover (and an outtake) designed in collaboration with the amazing Kimberly Glyder

CALEXICO-TOUR POSTER

Calexico asked me to design a poster for their Fall tour which kicks off this Wednesday. It’s being screen-printed by the kind folks at The Head Light. I’m a longtime fan. Remember The Friends of Dean Martinez anyone? Calexico’s latest album is fantastic. Really inspiring. I’m thrilled to be a part of this project. 

TODD SICKAFOOSE

This is the third album I’ve designed for Todd. He’s an amazing jazz musician/composer who collaborates with folks like Andrew Bird and Nels Cline. This album has kind of a minimalist-avant-garde feel. With so many rich textures and nuances, it’s always a thrill dreaming up ideas to compliment his the music. The album is soon to be released by Cryptogramophone records. 

DAUPHIN BAKERY LABEL

After a few revisions, we landed on this composition. I gave her about twenty different color variations. These were some of my favorites.

DAUPHIN BAKERY (LABEL CONCEPTS)

My good friend is starting an all-natural French-style bakery. She’ll be making rich, buttery pastries (madeleines, macarons, pain au chocolat) - delicious and free from common allergens.

She got into this because she wanted her son to enjoy all of the good stuff in life. He was born with numerous allergies, so she had to sort of re-invent all of her old recipes. Clearly, this is a huge undertaking, but a noble one. She makes amazing salty brownies with hemp milk (or was it almond milk?) Not sure. But they are fantastic.

These are a few of the initial concepts for a circular label to be stuck on a cellophane wrapper.
