After watching the Vancouver Olympics, and having a tight deadline on this project, I was inspired to go back and look at some of vintage Canadian Pacific Railway postcard art.

Shea and I went to Banff, Alberta, Cananda on our honeymoon and collected a bunch of those postcards, and they came in very handy for type and illustration style inspiration.

The structure in the back of this illustration is the dam at Pickwick Lake—where the retreat will be held.

By the way, how great are the design and colors of the Canadian Flag? A designer’s dream.

One day I’m gonna re-typeset this art to say “A Heart for MOM” and get it tattooed across my back.

Thanks to Scott Campbell and his Camel ad illustrations for the style and inspiration.

Here’s the program design for the Second Presbyterian Music Department’s production of Mendelssohn’s “Elijah.” I dusted off the sable brush and ink made my best attempt at hand-lettering the wordmark. & I’m pretty happy with the primitive, Hebraic feel of it. (more…)

If you’ve visited my LinkedIn profile lately, you know that I’ve been working at Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, since November of last year. I’ve been there for rouughly 5 months now, and it’s been a great experience. One of the things that I’ve enjoyed is designing bulletins for our many different services. Here are a few.

We printed the Advent bulletin on a silk matte stock using a unique PMS black and metallic gold ink. (more…)

Just finished up the “Get Green” identity. It’s been output to a magnet and slapped on the side of a car. That means it’s official. Good luck Madeleine!
