This is a sort of a collection of random ads I have done with Jeremy Pelley for the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. We had the hardest time finding the hotel's voice, but in the end settled on really spastic and tight typography. It's even more fun when we hand draw it all!
This is a collection of Hatch style posters + graphics I have done announcing the opening of Ace Hotel NY for various needs. Mostly knock offs, but fun none the less. I guess if you are going to steal, steal something good!
Probably the biggest website I have ever done! The style is pretty simple, but the big challenge was getting all 4 hotels (which are all pretty different) to exist in the same universe without it looking totally insane. We just made photography the biggest element. One day the page transitions will slide around like a microfiche, but it turns out that sort of thing is harder then I had hoped it would be. 
A kind of follow up to the Nike Presentation, this was sent to everyone who attended to further remind them how awesome the Ace Hotel is. It's basically just a list of all the great places in Portland that people should visit. I pretty much got to do this one all on my own, and tried to make it as interesting as possible while also getting it done in 2 days.
First, Each rep attending the meeting was sent a letter with a specific number. The letter was an average form letter, with all the boring impersonal parts crossed out, letting the true message pop. 
The second item sent was a 45 record sleeve pulled from a local record store with their number screened on the front and stuffed with gifts. The sleeve had a bunch of random stuff inside, including a record, an invite to the meeting, photos, notes, and love. This all came together with the meeting, where everyone just kind of hung out and talked about stuff they liked to talk about. Total success!
This is just a concept piece right now, but I thought I would throw it up. Not sure when Sublimity will actually be making it, but probably not for a little while. I want to turn it into a series, so I am going to be making 2 more at some point in the near future.
Oh Mr.T, how I love you. Thank you for all the guidance you have provided in my life. The only way I can repay you is a messed up portrait. On a side note, Mr.T is actually showing up this weekend!*
I've got a new gig! I am going to be hosting a Saturday Morning Cartoon show at Backspace coming up this weekend. I have been collecting tons of weird, old, wonderful cartoons for years and for the first time I have actually found something to do with them. More-or-less it is just a video DJ sort of gig, but trust me when I say the cartoons are fun to watch. My good friend Ruth is cooking up some awesome vegetarian breakfast items and Backspace has its regular menu going as well. The line-up is a surprise, but I will give you one of the best reasons to come. Hope to see you there!
Just finished new shirt graphics for Sublimity Snow & Skate. Hearts and love, concrete and snow. Snow is for wimps, though.
It only took me leaving my job to find the time to do it, but I have FINALLY updated my website! I did a total overhaul, with new graphics, more punch, and a cute picture of Astro Boy punching me in the mouth. Check it out!
