Here’s one from the archives that I don’t think I’ve posted already. I did this a few years ago for a Kansas City band called, Fire For Effect. This collage and logo creation was used as an album cover. They are still around. Check em out on Myspace…
As assigned by Franz Werner. One of my assignments at RISD was to watch the 1970 film by Bernardo Bertolucci, The Conformist, then create a series of 10 glass slides to “illustrate” the film absractly. Many of my classmates used markers, glitter, string, and other various materials to make a mostly transparent image on the [...]

Some may be a work-in-progress. I don’t consider any of these to be finished, but I thought it’d be nice to post them. You can click on any of the images to enlarge them.
I love the forms the layered letters make. One of my favorite resources in creating collages is a sheet of rub-on letters. In Providence I had a secret spot where I could go to get as much Letraset as I could afford. At first, it was in a small room towards the back of a [...]
I have hopes of printing these real big some day. The original size of each of these is about 5×7 inches. They were created in a Molskine sketchbook, but I would like to print them to be about 6 feet tall and displayed next to each other. Each one is for sale at the elphabat [...]
