making you hate TV.

I spend a lot of time on FFFFOUND.com, and I love remixing images I come across. While I sparingly use photography in my digital works, I felt it necessary to give the correct retro feeling.

Mike Milosh, ampersands, electrocardiography and vinyl - you got yourself a poster, baby!

the future of our dear land.

oh America, my friend.

Based on a popular song by Joni Mitchell, and shown at the "Yes, We Can" fundraising show for President Barack Obama, this piece reminds us that simple ideas can be turned into an impliment for the contrary.

This piece was given a Daily Deviation award at Deviantart.com.

shape...the dawn.

One afternoon I was searching through some long gone great, great grandfather's personal belongings. Then falls this quaint invitation, "Lick Girls at home! James Lick High School."

1911, you silly bastard.

super hilarious you guys.

With all this silly design there needs to be at least one sappy image.

This piece in particular is a cornerstone in my design process and development as an artist - blending illustration, typographical grids and several textures.
