RBMA

too craze with RBMA to do much around here, but figured i might as well throw down all the covers.

for those unlucky enough to be outside of NYC to get the newsprint edition, go here to download PDF versions.

The Daily Note

as part of the ongoing creative program we have been working on for the red bull music academy in new york city, i am currently heading up a month of creative direction for a daily newspaper titled the Daily Note.

given that it is mainly distributed on the streets of new york city a la AM new york (keep an eye out for the black and white aprons!) most will only be able to view as PDF (available for download here)… if you are in NYC, definitely keep an eye on the streets for the printed newspaper.

Woolrich X Cold Splinters (X me)

a while back i worked on some graphics under the direction of ever-talented (as well as great friend) jeff thrope of cold splinters. jeff was approached by woolrich to develop cold splinters style graphics for their booth and retail display backdrops at Outdoor Retailer. a great collaboration and the first time in a long time i have had fun doing something that could be arguably called “illustration” (although i stopped calling myself an illustrator sophomore year in college). lots of fun.

view the whole project here. photos to come soon.
