Hopscotch Process: The SS Friendship

As my first real try at caricature, illustration, what have you, I’m so proud to have designed this poster for the Hopscotch POSTERscotch contest. I’d love to print it, even if it doesn’t win. Here’s a look at the final poster and how I got there. SLOWLY.

Hopscotch Posters

Well this has just been the longest few weeks of my life! But I’m so happy to say that I’m finally ready to submit my two designs for the Hopscotch and Amplified Art POSTERscotch contest. I’ve been wanting to dabble in some illustration for a long time, and since I’ve been almost exclusively listening to [...]

Hopscotch Preview

This will probably be the first, last, and only peek I sneak at process work for a Hopscotch Music Festival poster I’m working on. It’s going to be pretty illustration heavy, which is terrifying to me. Here’s the type so far. Wish me luck!

Lost Logo

Look what I found today! I have no recollection of drawing this, but I kind of like it? Maybe I’ve been watching too much Glee, and I just can’t help but seeing everything in lights now. There might be a place for this in a future project… Yes, I think so!

New Jams!

Well… I’ve somehow managed to stay productive at work, freelance my a$$ off, be more GLEEful, furnish my home, plan my non-existent wedding, laugh, experiment in the kitchen, fantasize about playing a major role on Mad Men as an Asian lady with wavy hair, and love my cats more than ever before. I feel a [...]

We All Scream

I can’t believe how lucky I am to be working on an identity and menu for The Durham Ice Cream Company, also known as Parlour. I’ve just loved the drawing part of this process, so here’s a sneak peak at some of what I’ve done so far. The website will be the last thing we [...]

New Tasty Shirts!

Big Cartel shop for $20.00 apiece (top row) or $40.00 for the one-off shirts in orange, raspberry, gold, royal blue, and purple [...]

Film9 Collective

The main mark and some additional elements for my most recent identity project. Film9 Collective is a group of nine film photographers working and exhibiting together in Raleigh, NC. My friend Monica is among them and will be displaying her work at their first group show this coming February at the Morning Times!

Rock and Shop Market

Whew! Just finished designing the poster and postcard for the Winter 2010 Rock and Shop Market. I LOVE LOVE LOVED the research component of this project and still feel like I could spend hours/days/months/years/lifetimes looking at neon signs. The posters and postcards will only be printed digitally for the event, but if I can manage [...]
