Here's my Top 9 images created for clients and personal projects for 2025. An interesting mixed bag, but fun for the range of subject matter. Thanks to all the great clients and friends who reached out for design and illustration work this year; you keep me working to get a little better each year.

I will be playing a pre-show 80's DJ set ahead of Thomas Dolby's November 15th show at Bell's Brewery Back Room! I'll be spinning an eclectic, hand picked selection of favorites from the era, ranging from deep cuts to old favorites, all leading up to the main event.

New poster design for Abilene Roller Derby, this month the theme is La Luchadora, and I did my best to convey the old school vibe of these warriors alongside the badassery of the derby skaters. Each poster this season has had a different art theme, and it has kept me on my toes. Enjoy!

Is there a term for when you want both combatants in a fight to fail and be defeated? Like "bursting into flames and exploding like every scene in a Michael Bay movie" kind of defeat? Gotta be some fancy, cool word for that...

OK; in the spirit of "Something For Everyone" and inclusion, here's your MerMan for MerMay. Definitely to the "Bear" side of the spectrum, so maybe MerBear is the term we're going with on this one? You input is welcome on this one.

Fire up your turntables and collect your poppies, it's Record Store Day again, and once again the Munchkins at Green Light Music have commissioned me to design their poster. A little bit Dead, a little bit Oz, and all of the music trippy love I could cram into it!

When you build with intention, the mathematics of forms will reveal themselves, and when we step out of the way and trust our eyes to make decisions, we are rewarded with all the things that we didn't plan on.

I've worked with the Abilene Texas roller derby team for many years now, and when they decided to change their team identity this year, I was happy to help them become the Holy Smokes. This design will be incorporated into new team uniforms, and used with all upcoming online and print materials.
