Illustration for Modest Mouse's new subscription site Ice Cream Party. A collab with an amazing collage artist Anna Lise Holly, completed in June 2024.

An illustrated tribute to the coffee producing region of Huila, Colombia, for Coava Coffee Roasters, which gathers orchids, banana leaves, coffee cherries and the tallest volcano in Colombia, Nevado del Huila, boxed in by a sombrero Vueltiao-inspired pattern and the colors of the Colombian flag (happy accident). 100% cotton, screen printed in Portland.

An illustrated deck of cards commissioned by the good people of Visit McMinnville. The brief for this project was to feature some well-known and not so well-known things about the McMinnville experience (because it is an experience) that will intrigue the visitor but also wink to the local.

Each suit in the deck works as its own little story: the growth of the town around the founder William Newby, a nod to the books of Beverly Cleary crossed with a UFO, a daydream about the Ben Franklin statue on 3rd St., and a misguided dad joke about the Spruce Goose.

In general, I wanted an outcome where McMinnville locals felt like we captured something and visitors feel like they found something.

Modest Mouse commissioned this painting to be used on the back of a page of guitar tabs for the song “The World at Large”. The tabs are given to VIP ticket holders as part of a gift during the 2024 spring tour with The Pixies and Cat Power. I digitally repainted this from pictures of a physical painting I made and sold a few years ago. The original was square, 3ft by 3ft, and was based on a drawing I made in my spare time for Instagram. This new piece is printed on paper at 29” x 16”.

Packaging, branding, and illustration for some amazing clients in upstate New York who just started roasting coffee in-house!

At the end of 2019 Isaac Brock commissioned me to illustrate a deck of cards for the band, and with no real parameters to guide me I pitched him the idea of a deck that kind of develops a weird little story within each suit so that the deck functions for playing but also has something else interesting to it as well. We passed ideas back and forth across most of 2020 and it got produced just in time for the band to take it on tour for the 2021 Modest Mouse shows.

An illustration commissioned by Modest Mouse for a tee shirt that fans receive when they sign up for the band's new subscription service "Ice Cream Party".

The idea is influenced by Fritz Kahn's human factory drawing. I spent a few hours photographing Modest Mouse's studio in Portland with my daughter, which is full of really cool, weird collected stuff and I tried to fit some of those things into the various little rooms in the snail. And the other stuff I made up.

A fun collab with Kettle for their “Kettle Obsessions” series documenting all of their studios’ obsessions throughout 2018. This one illustrates their obsession with the Dissect podcast which recently began taking apart Lauryn Hill's "Miseducation" album song by song. This one illustrates some of the bits and pieces that make up the track To Zion.

Bandana design for the great Origin Coffee in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, NY, now available at their cafes. The design spotlights the beautiful surrounding natural areas that they are so fortunate to have in upstate New York, and calls out to the origins of Saranac Lake, the site of their first cafe, which was once the home of the U.S. first successful tuberculosis sanatorium. Hence, “coffee is the cure”.

One of my favorite annual projects! I’ve made a ton of wine labels for Fossil & Fawn over the years, mostly created during my years of working as a designer at the creative studio Factory North , and a few since going freelance in 2020. These are collages made from digging through books of collected vintage newspaper illustrations from sources like Illustrated London News, and popped into photoshop with the long-standing creative brief of “get weird”.
