Every design medium is a new kind of problem solving, and a new language for understanding, interpretation, and expression. These samples are 2D and 3D art I’ve made on the job and on my own time.

Watercolors

Watercolors
Personal project
2017-ongoing

I really enjoy working with watercolor pencils. Most of these are 5×7″ watercolors painted from reference images. In some cases, the references are photos I took myself.

A few more impressionistic pieces are drawn or painted from life.

COVID-19 Face Masks

COVID-19 Face Masks
Personal project
2020

I spent a lot of my college days cutting and sewing in the costume shop. When public health officials started recommending face coverings to reduce the spread of COVID-19, I put my tailoring skills to use making masks. 

My starting point is the Olson mask pattern developed by UnityPoint Health. Over time I’ve simplified the construction while improving the fit. If you have questions about making masks, or need a mask, feel free to drop me a line.

Graphics for Ska Band Monkey

Graphics, show posters and flyers
Monkey
2019

I designed these graphics for the San Jose, California ska band Monkey in support of an international tour. Band members planning a trip to England in April wanted flyers to print and distribute ahead of Monkey’s 2019 UK tour in June.

The coat of arms is a mashup of the band’s “barrel of monkeys” logo and logos from Monkey’s record label, Squidhat.
