Life Sucks Then You Fly


I'm having fun with a new series of posters that I developed at the end of 2011 and 2012 that started with Dream Pig and Give Peas A Chance.

I love the simple iconography and type combined with a single, strong color for a quick, compelling story. I've tried to keep the feeling light and airy throughout. I think in a way, these posters are stress relievers for me.

I debated whether or not to use the PG or R rated version, but as my friend Bruce pointed out, people will get it, there's no need to be explicit. I still made the R rated version, but it's not for sale. ;)

You can pick up a nice 11x17 version of Life Sucks Then You Fly over at my Zazzle shop.

Don't Give Me That Sheep



I'm having fun with a new series of posters that I developed at the end of 2011 and 2012 that started with Dream Pig and Give Peas A Chance.

I love the simple iconography and type combined with a single, strong color for a quick, compelling story. I've tried to keep the feeling light and airy throughout. I think in a way, these posters are stress relievers for me.

The newest entrant is "Don't Give Me That Sheep." I've made the background brown to convey what the sheep really stand for...if you like it, you can buy a poster (sheep and all) at my Zazzle store.

Resistance is Futile


Girl Scout Cookies are a yearly tradition as we transition from winter to spring. This year, as I was munching my way through a box of Thin Mints, I had a brainstorm: why not do a poster that celebrates the awesomeness of these addictive little cookies with the tagline, "Resistance is futile."

I chatted with my friends about their favorite cookie and it was almost unanimous: Thin Mints were the penultimate Girl Scout Cookie. I had a few boxes of different varieties, so I  photographed them all outside on my patio for reference. (The best part about this photo shoot was that when it was over, I got to eat the models. :)

I was going to work up several variant posters, but after seeing the Thin Mints, I decided this was the only version needed.
