MoSo Poster
MoSo is Canada's mobile and social media conference and music festival. They approached me to develop a poster which would be used to promote the conference and the festival, but also aesthetically inform other promotional materials.
I started thinking about analogies to tech and music. I liked the idea that music is to tech what a monster is to a robot. One is based in passion and feeling, one on logic and order.
MoSo is, in many ways, a coming together of two ways of thinking.
So, with that in mind I started developing this idea of showing a hybrid or amalgamation of a robot and a monster. This supports the idea that collaboration creates something greater than the sum of its parts. Or, when you cross a monster with robot, it's awesome!
Surrounding the creature are various objects and icons. Bacteria, amoebas, cells, computer chips, radio waves, music notes, electricity, instruments, etc. Multiple limbs suggest the multifaceted aspects of both tech and music.
The design/illustration has been well received. I'm also really excited that it is being developed as a silkscreened print! Awesome! 2013 Art Direction, Illustration -

No Junk Mail
Because I was super-frustrated with the amount of flyers and other junk mail I've been receiving in the last while, I looked for a nice-looking "No Junk Mail" sign. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. So, I thought I'd create my own.

Wedding Invitations
My Creative Director/Writer friend asked me to design a 'save the date' mailer and wedding invitations for him and his fiancée. With a loose direction towards a French bistro aesthetic, and lovely copy, they turned out beautifully.

Belle Plaine - Two for the Road Tour Poster
Belle Plaine came with a loose concept: show the slightly chaotic experience of a cross-Canada tour. Belle and her bass player Elizabeth, fill a car with instruments (including a double bass), gear, and suitcases. With barely enough room for themselves, they hit the road.
As I started sketching and thinking about the design and concept, rather than drawing the car, I thought the poster could represent the vehicle. Filled with stuff, but also looking outward; experiencing all the things we see and do when travelling cross-country — wildlife, coffee, radio, greasy diners, the foliage, weather, etc.
Because this poster will be used at different venues across the country, we needed to have a way to easily plug in details ourselves, or let the venue hand-write them in. However, we didn't want one big blank area for venue owners to customize. We wanted something a bit more subtle and thoughtful. We think the solution turned out pretty well. 2012 Graphic Design, Illustration -
