Originally created for inclusion in Blurppy.com's Poster Posse Project #6 highlighting the release of X-Men: Days Of Future Past in May of 2014. Recently licensed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment for a future project to be released later in 2014.

After winning a design contest held by the Dave Matthews Band, my design was commissioned by the band’s merchandising company, Red Star, to be sold at their Commerce City, Colorado show as a poster. It was an exclusive available at the merchandising table and later on the band’s online store. Several artists’ prints are available on my online store, Movingthemerch.com.

Some of my most recent work and skill development for my position as an in-house designer for UPS are in video production. In order to accommodate strict project deadlines, shrinking department budgets, and a need for a creative and versatile video production method, I, along with UPS video producer Michelle Polk, crafted a new type of video kit for our department. This production kit relies on High Definition DSLR Video that is made available through the use of cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark II and GoPro action camera.

We have been able to literally travel the world with a two or three person crew. Michelle and myself, along with the occasional help from our UPS colleague Wes McDermott, captured some really nice video on tight deadlines and at a fraction of the cost of an external vendor or production crew.

I also started working with motion graphics, which allows me to take traditionally two-dimensional documents and information call-outs and turn them into moving and dynamic video graphics. Under the tutelage of our resident full time video and sound editor, Eric Deuser, I have tackled on-set audio capture and sound editing. Over the last two years, I developed the skills to storyboard a script, operate as director of photography, edit, color grade, and finish customer-facing videos.

I designed a print for Hero Complex Gallery’s exhibition, “Smile You Son Of A Bitch” – An Art Tribute to Jaws that ran in early November 2013 in Los Angeles, California. Sales of the poster helped support the PangeaSeed Organization that works with various artists, scientists, and environmental groups to help raise awareness of the conservation and preservation of sharks and other marine species currently in peril.

While I tend to do more portrait work as of late in my day job, I still love to capture the hustle of the operations at UPS Worldport. These images were taken over the last few years to help boost our department’s reserve of operational photography. Some of these pictures have been used for a variety of different applications including informational posters, regional ads, and most recently the 2012 UPS Corporate Calendar.

As a result of my early work with fan art concert posters for the Phish and Widespread Panic fan communities, I have started receiving requests directly from musical artists for official show posters.

Simply, my idea was to combine design and custom, fan centric artwork with a calendar that highlighted every major football fan's passion, Game Day. So, it would function not just as a piece of artwork, but also a way to track your favorite team through their season.

The calendar would only consist of the months within the regular football season. In the case of college football that meant September, October, and November. The top portion of the calendar would be dedicated to a custom illustration and the bottom would be a traditional calendar, but with a slight twist. I centered the layout of the days on the calendar around Game Day which I placed smack-dab in the center. For Notre Dame's schedule, that meant that Saturday of each month through November became the center of the week.

Also in this space I gave specific information about where the team was playing (home or away), when, and against which team. I also wanted it to be a little interactive and fun by designing a space to place a sticker indicating whether they had (W)on or (L)ost as well as an area to record the games final score. At the end of the season you could either cut out the calendar dates and keep the illustration as a piece of artwork or keep the whole calendar as a memento of the entire season. I left enough room on the rest of the days of the week so that you could still write in events or appointments. To really hit home the idea of a quality designed product and to complete the overall experience of receiving the calendar, I created a cover to round out the design.

In early 2010 I got the itch to create my own unique wall calendar. This is a large format calendar designed specifically for my work cube. I wanted to go slightly retro in the overall feel, hence the rainbow colors and use of half circles, which were inspired by the phases of the moon. The final piece was custom printed at zazzle.com and later featured in the book, Save the Date: New Ideas and Approaches in Calendar Design published by Victionary Workshop Limited.
