A piece I shot, designed and wrote about my current obsession, coffee!

We’re in the middle of a great coffee revolution here in Philadelphia, in the past two years a slew of new coffee shops have setup shop on our streets, we’ve even got a new mobile coffee truck serving artisanal coffee courtesy of Rival Bros. Coffee. These shops have slowly started to change our drinking habits and enlighten us to the Third Wave coffee movement which focuses on ethical sourcing from small farms, sustainability, roasting in small batches and appreciating coffee as culinary product like wine, wherein we pay attention to the complexities and variations in flavor.

World War I war masks collage. A really fun photoshop project combining three different vintage images. The planes, tank and people were all separate images that needed to be processed to look the same in terms of lighting, texture, noise, scale, etc.

Drinking soda never looked so classy. 1920s fictional soda company ad, super fun project I did for work. It has a small collage element, the soda bottle was put in, in the original she’s just holding the flowers.

Ode to Los Angeles typographic poster featuring city and state mottos.

[Eureka!] I have found it! 
The City of Angels. 

The second in my Ode to … series, this time Los Angeles. I’ve visited California many times and been to Los Angeles twice. When it comes to art, tattoos, design and street art, that city is one that I find infinitely inspiring.

Ode to Philadelphia typographic poster featuring city and state mottos.

Liberty, Independence, Virtue
[Caritas fraternitatis maneat in vobis] The City of Brotherly Love

Some old, some new, some tattoo typographic influence on this ode to the city I live in. The typographic choices reflect the city a bit, it is an historic city but there’s also a lot of grungyness here too along with a move towards contemporary spaces. This city is changing and evolving at a rapid pace lately, its an exciting time to live here.

Two proposed designs for the lacrosse project I’m working on.

Two proposed designs for the lacrosse project I’m working on.

Happy #stpatricksday. I created these Celtic inspired patterns for a freelance project related to the national Irish lacrosse team making it to the 2011 World Lacrosse Championships. The patterns are made up of modified ‘I’ and ‘L’ letters. I’m creating a t-shirt design, these patterns won’t be used in the finale design but I really liked them. Several people said they’d make great tattoos if you’re really into lacrosse haha.

Illustration of NICKI MINAJ. Personal project that’s part of my L.A inspired cholo-tattoo illustrations. I like the contrast of the quote, “In this very moment I’m King,” with her super feminine image.
