Super Rad Design

A selection of design work from my portfolio. I love to illustrate, draw, and experiment with typography. My passions include vector-illustration, t-shirt graphics, geometric fonts, and saturated colors. I take inspiration from 80s and 90s pop-culture, retro arcade/video games, popular toys, comic books, sports, cartoons, electronic and pop music, graffiti, my childhood, and the cereal isle at the grocery store. My heros include Michael Jordan, Shepard Fairey, and Walt Disney.

LET'S GET RAD
Beware of God – Fear more than just the dog! – I see “Beware of Dog” signs posted all the time, especially in New Mexico. Have a dog? Have a fence? Want people to stay away? Yep, that’s where you see those signs. It occurred to me to flip the “D” with the “G” and suddenly we’ve got a whole new meaning. At the end of it all, a vengeful God might trump a vicious doberman, so watch your step… Now where shall we post this sign?

O Say Can You See!
O Say Can You See! – This poster was on display during the Bicentennial celebration of the Star Spangled Banner in Baltimore. Composed in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, the writing of the National Anthem was inspired by his witness of the bombardment of Ft. McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore. Beyond focusing on the historical context of the Star Spangled Banner, this design is meant to convey a sense of nostalgia, timelessness and youthful optimism, informed by mid-century-American propaganda.
