Cover Roundup!


I wasn't the most thrilled about this cover, but I like it the more I see it. For a cover story about Film education.


I don't REALLY like this cover, but it has been making the rounds, so-to-speak. Gaining recognition more so than any other cover I have done. Anything Phillies in this town, especially involving anti-Mets statements gets ink.

Onesheet Roundup!


To jog anyones(?) memory, onesheets are basically small posters used by salespeople to sell ads for upcoming special issues. This is a onesheet for the Fall Arts Preview, meant to (you guessed it!) show off all the arts events in the fall. I wished we could print in, or use some sort of foil stamping. I think the brush painting in the gold leaves would look great with a subtle sheen. Maybe that would be too gaudy. Im not the most impressed with my type design on this, but for a first run, I like it.


This one is for the Book Quarterly. Again, the title is the concept, four times a year, all about books. This time, I was able to put myself in as the librarian grabbing a book. I had originally wanted the librarian grabbing a book, and the book would be represented by a letter that was crooked from being "picked" out of its word. But it looked...off. I really like this one, actually.

Ad Roundup!


A newlywed couple decides to travel the world, and BLOG...of course. This was used in ads and online content. For "some" reason this came in time and time again to fix the womans hair...


This was an ad for the Barrymore Awards, which is a theater awards event, similar to the Tonys...but in philly.

From the Vault...

What seems like ages ago, I and a few friends put together a production company Called "Never Odd or Even. We wrote plays, we had fundraisers, we wrote together, worked together, and basically had alot of fun working our knuckles to the bone for the art of it (no pay). Primarily, our task was to put together comedy theater and fun parties. My task as "Art Director" of this company, was to do every visual thing we ever needed. Simple.For a short time we had a dedicated space/theater dubbed "the Clubhouse". Here are a few (of the many) flyers produced.


This is the handbill that was produced to promote a selection of our events.To give an idea of how many events within a few months, about three of these were made.


Our half attempt at a music festival...The NEVERFEST! Unfortunately this Woodstock turned more into a backyard bbq, but in the end became a really lighthearted, fun day of laughs, strange Philly musicians, and lots of people who normally wouldn't be seen together becoming friends and sharing a beer (we built a bar into the space too!).


Over the course of our three-year existence, our most successful events were Proms and our Carnivals. This is the last carnival we had and it was a blow out! Firebreathers, Peep Booths, a Tarot card reader, games and prizes and more!


To open our fanbase, we planned a full goth party. we had a few Dj's, specialty cocktails and excellent atmosphere, but at the last minute, everything went south. I cant remember exactly why, I believe it had to do with a jealous promoter.


This was not an event held within the Clubhouse. But it was the reason we were ABLE to afford the clubhouse.

Below are photos of the Clubhouse, as well as a few shots of our show "Skindog"
