I was recently asked by a friend to create a graphic that he could use on social media sites for the show he helps produce, Thank You Democracy. I create the image for their Halloween show, which can be listened to at https://soundcloud.com/thankyoudemocracy.

The Blob CD’s came in earlier this week from being printed and they look great! Here’s a closer look at the outside, inside, and some stickers.

The Flowers of Evil project was part of my year-long thesis at Reed College. I studied Charles Baudelaire’s poetry, and created a book using selections of his work, translated by William Aggeler. I made the illustrations and layout in Indesign and Photoshop, and then etched the leather cover with a laser cutter and printed using an electronic printer. I hand bound the pages and assembled the rest of the book by hand to create a run of 15 identical copies.

Translations of Baudelaire’s poetry can be found at http://fleursdumal.org/. The 6 illustrations, from left to right, top to bottom are; Damned Women, Danse Macabre, Hymn to Beauty, The Clock, To An Auburn Haired Beggar Maid, and Vampire’s Metamorphoses.

Reed College alum, Jack Johnson ’15, recently released the album he created for his thesis “Nobody’s Business” with his band “The Blob.” He asked me to create a CD cover, case, logo, and posters for the project based on a gritty, film noir, comic style. The album can be found online at http://theblob.bandcamp.com

These character designs were created based on the actual grotesques in the Reed College Library and Reed’s mascot. As simple cartoon characters, they gave the map a playful aesthetic that would help make the library more approachable for first-year students.

Two versions of the grotesque icons used in the Reed College Library Map project.
This first set was created from photographs of the actual grotesques and were the icons I ended up using in the final piece.
This set was created as an alternative to the photographic versions, but I ultimately decided against them, as the rest of the art that I created for the map had a different feel to it.
The Reed College Library Map project was completed as a supplement to the regular library maps provided. It is available to all incoming first-year students as an introduction to some of the lesser-known services and features of the Hauser Library. The maps visual style mirrors the physical style of the library itself, playing off of the Gothic aesthetic. I created all of the art for the map based on the actual grotesques that adorn the walls. The map folds up, accordion-style, eight times, and then in half, so that only the cover is visible and the map can neatly fit into a wallet.
