STICKS STONES AND SOAP
This is a typographic / font creation piece I designed and built for my senior art exhibition in 2009. Later on in college I really became interested not only in font creation for print, but also fonts that take on a deeper meaning in a sculptural and physical form. This font was carved out of ivory soap bars which gave the letters their form but also a nice aroma. This particular piece received the first place award in Morehead State University’s Senior Art Exhibition.

JOEY'S JAZZ RECITAL
This is a poster I designed and illustrated for my friend and talented musician Joey Thieman. This was a really fun project for me because Joey and I sat down together talked about music and looked at some of our favorite jazz posters and album covers. Our discussions helped me gain inspiration and an idea of what he would like his poster to look like. It was a lot of fun creating a poster that visually paired well with his musical style. It was so rewarding to get to design for something I love, music.

IT MAKES US, U.S.
This piece was featured in and won first place at Marshall University’s juried regional exhibition; Art in a Time of Social Change. It was published and received the 1st place visual art award in the 2009 edition of Morehead State University’s art and literary magazine Inscape. It also won the 1st place digital art award at the 10th annual Mount Sterling Art Exhibition. I originally created this piece as a sort of stencil for an aquatint print or acid etching. I wanted the print to be really big but the printing equipment I had at the time couldn’t handle anything as big as I wanted. I kept the digital format "stencil" and printed 4ft x 3ft posters for friends and whoever else wanted them. I never intended or imagined this piece receiving as much attention as it has.

Stop Motion ABC's
This Sesame Streetesque stop-motion project was for an animation class I took while in college. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work, every movement is an individual drawing and snap shot. Each picture is shown in sequential order creating the illusion of movement, just like a flip book. I failed to catch the backwards "J" before I finished the animation. I thought about titling this video "Slightly Dyslexic Stop Motion ABC's". The video quality dropped a tad after posting it on here. The music is by Odd Nosdam. Hope you enjoy!

For: The Murals
I designed these for the use of the band, The Murals. The band, from Louisville, Kentucky, consists of four members; Evan Blum, Rob Monsma, Hunter Presnell, and Jacob Weaver. The Murals, is an appropriate name for this band that experiments with many evoking sounds and musical styles. Their music is almost visual. These were designed to compliment and promote the bands music on posters, flyers and t-shirts.
