I ordered laser engraved Pyrex baking dishes from this lady on Etsy. Mother was stoked, and taking a photo in front of the tree came out looking extremely christmassy.

The theme of this years Society of Publication Designers award show is “Bespoke”, so hand lettering was a natural choice for the art directors.
Sometimes letters aren’t enough for people, and they like ornamentation and filigree to make a piece compelling and cohesive. The technique I used to here to get everything to agree as a family was to maintain a rule of using only thin lines and dots. Hierarchy was achieved with doubling and tripling the lines with dots between. Thought it might not look like it at first glance, this is actually an exercise in restraint.

I’m very pleased to see my lettering on the new Undefeated website. It was a pleasure working with Julia Tsao on this. Julia is an amazing art director who pushed me in a lot of different directions, ultimately getting to a place slightly outside of my comfort zone. The enormous amount of care that Undefeated puts into design makes them a pleasure to work with. I would love to do some more in the future.
Huge thanks to Ian Coates. Without Ian they surely would have never heard of me.

Chris DeLorenzo asked me to help out with some lettering for Johnny Cupcakes. This is the first tee I’ve designed that is commercially available, but more than anything I’m just excited to work on things with Chris. He’s an amazing talent, and a great art director. Thanks a million Chris, hope there are more projects in the future.

This is a weird lettering piece involving three ampersands of various styles all wrapping around one another. The monogrampersand is part of the 55 Hi’s ampersand collection.

Dan Gneiding (aka Grayhood) asked me to design a page for the specimen book of his new typeface Dude. Dan is an amazingly talented, hard working, and staggeringly creative fellow (or dude). I was honored to play a small part in this thing. My page is a fake advertisement for a new Lost Type font that will never be.

I worked with Hattery to create a logotype and custom font for their brand. The project began a few months back, and I’m extremely pleased to see how well everything has come together over time. It’s been an amazing process working with the people over there. They are a very enthusiastic and passionate bunch who brought up a million different valid points during the process. The outcome is a reflection of consistent effort on both of our parts to get it all just right. Shoutsouts to Josh, Michelle, Mark, James, Peter, and everyone else who helped out during the project, and also to Dan who did a brilliant job putting this video together.

My homie Cosmo animated my section in this video about the graphic design program at CCA. It talks about my project Woods of Wisdom. The other animators are Michael Rigley, who did Ejay Sanchez’s section, and Jason Kerr who did Helen Ip’s section. These guys really knocked it out of the park and I couldn’t be happier about it. CCA represent.
