Hooked up with Bobby at Kitsune Noir and did a graphic for his Desktop Wallpaper Project. Above is the outcome. Wanted to do something a little different so I added a color fade that can be achieved by rotating background images. Download the background and get more info at the Kitsune Noir post.
Uncommon contacted me about doing a small run of custom iPhone cases for my first solo show at Rotofugi. Only 5 of each cases made. Purchase over at rotofugi’s webstore.
The flier for my first solo show entitled Concoction at Rotofugi Gallery from January 8th-24th. Opening reception January 8th, 7-10pm.
Here is the big collaborative poster that Jesse Brown and I did during our Life Long Work Week residency at Renegade Handmade here in Chicago. Purchase here.
Another poster printed while at Hamilton Woodtype Museum. This run of ten was done on a show card press which gave me the ability to ink the forms once and print the entire run with each poster getting a lighter ink hit than the one previous (print one-of-ten being the darkest). Most letterpress prints are priced pretty high so to keep the cost down the posters is printed on text weight pink paper so it is easier to transport and keep shipping costs at a minimum. Folded and shipped flat directly to all you handmade nerds, letterpress lovers, and record collectors. Purchase here.
Printeresting asked me to submit some work for their ephemeral themed show entitled One Every Day. I sent out the piece pictured above as well as the piece created for the Rotofugi Chicago show. Both are 16″x20″ cut paper and graphite on panel. Check out some photos from the opening.
The end results of Life Long Work Week #001 — a storefront residency project I conceived and executed with with Jesse Brown. As you can see, these screenprints are an extension of my ongoing ebonics motivational posters project. More info at the LLWW site linked above. Check out the Life Long Work Week Store.
A new series I’m working on including only three cut paper objects each and graphite details.
A couple Illustrations for Belio Magazine’s Back To Your Roots themed issue.
The dudes over at Rotofugi Gallery asked me to contribute to their Chicago Pride show. Above is the outcome. This is the first formal piece at this size (16″x20″) that I have been totally happy with. Most of my other fine art work that you have seen here has been around 5″x7″. Thanks to Andy Schwegler of Letterform for the photos.
