illustration and gig posters are where a lot of this started for me, there's something about distilling an artist's sound down into a single image that never gets old. over the years i've worked with a range of acts, including ok go, emo night tampa, ghostface killah, prhyme, breakbeat lou, and kamasi washington, among others.
every poster starts with the same question: what does this artist actually sound like, visually? sometimes that's bold typography, sometimes it's a fully illustrated scene, but the goal is always the same, something that stands out on a wall full of other posters and sticks with people after the show's over. i've also worked directly with promoters and venues to build out cohesive branding for events, whether it's a single night or a multi-day festival, making sure the visual identity holds together from the poster to the door.
