UNUSED BUT NOT UNLOVED

This was a branding idea for a company that ended up going in a completely different aesthetic direction. The final product we decided on was much more appropriate but I still have a soft spot for the old Screwface.

GUCCI IS GOING BUCK

I found this while cleaning up my desktop.

WELCOME TO MY WORKPLACE

My entire life my workspace has consisted mainly of kitchen tables, living room floors and tiny bedroom desks. I’ve finally got my own studio in my new apartment and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t think I’m ever going to leave.

Hell, it even comes with a view:

2011 looks good from here.

SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE

This was the Christmas gift I made for an incredible friend. Songs of Love and Hate isn’t my favourite Cohen record but I always thought the artwork was nothing short of iconic. When looking up the expression ‘aging gracefully’ I would only expect to find a picture of old Leonard.

The poster is 22″ by 25.5″ and is printed with water based acrylic ink on stonehenge paper.

CAPITAL’S MENU BOARD

I finished and delivered Capital’s light box menu board this past week. It’s actually a monolith that I cleverly disguised as a menu board so I can continue to observe the going ons of the West end while I hibernate for the season.

JENNY’S X-MAS CARD

This is the Christmas card poster I screen printed for Jenny. It’s acrylic water based ink on black stonehenge paper and measures 16.5 by 23 inches. Happy holidays love!

NO GRLS U LAOD

My mom sent this to me today. It looks as though it’s part of a collection I was developing around 1990. I think it translates to “No Grills Allowed”. I didn’t like people mean muggin’.

CAPITAL ESPRESSO

I designed the branding for the good folks at Capital Espresso in Parkdale a couple months back and have to congratulate them on their great success in baking and brewing some of the finest baked goods and refreshments in the West end. I’m still working on a few more projects for them that should be showing up in the new year. Stay tuned.
