Hey guys, I've decided to retire this blog. I'll leave all the old posts and stuff but all of my new updates will be over at tumblr. There's just no point in keeping two of the same blogs.

LITTLE KID

This was a poster/illustration I did for Little Kid. He plays really wound-down, lo-fi folk stuff, it's pretty cool. 

If you're a musician playing lots of shows and are getting some good exposure, send me a link to your music! I could make something for you for free, maybe

Conquerors Book Series

This is an editorial design exercise I did called Conquerors. It’s a three book hardcover set with a pine box/container featuring three of history’s greatest military geniuses. The Alexander book is the only “real” one of the three; its fourteen spreads were cut and bound together by hand and then padded with about 150 blank pages.

Each book has a dust jacket with the title cut out, borrowing the texture and colour of the busy oil paintings that wrap around the hardcovers underneath. The visual idea I had in mind for this project was to use contrast of value and complexity/simplicity to create a sense of drama between its pages. Minimalism and a generous use of negative space were major components all throughout the final design decisions. The extravagant and saturated oil paintings served to contrast this particular feel of design. I hand cut a stencil and spray painted the title onto a sheet of transparent duralar for the title page. The ideas of multiple layers shown there and on the cover were implemented in efforts to produce a tactile and inviting experience when picking up and flipping through the book.

Sorry about the covers and some of the pages; they're a little wonky because I had to bike home with them in the pouring rain..
