I was asked to create a fun, useful map for the scouts. We figured a light New Yorker style would be appropriate for both young scouts and parents.

Every week, I create an illustration to celebrate the tastiest of all days – Taco Tuesday. I use this commitment to explore materials, techniques and concepts that help me grow. And spread the awesomeness of tacos.

Inspired by Mid-century Disney Park posters, I created this series of monster boards for sell and collection.

Normally, you wouldn’t associate “fun” with monsters. I thought that added to the challenge.

This series of book covers were designed to be graphically simple yet tell a conceptual story fitting the narrative.

Man, simple is hard.

In collaboration with North Carolina State Parks and Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Capstrat created a series of NC regional badges to promote beautiful area hikes from the mountains to the sea.

This series is used to conceptually tell the story of some of the Bible's greatest legends.

My goal was to make them as simple yet informative as possible.

My goal is to use limited shapes and palette to illustrate the summer of 1967 – a time that was anything by limited.

I ran out of month before finishing Good Morning and A Day in The Life. That would be one of the best songs to illustrate.

Classic Graphics is a top printer in the country. They have an annual tradition of hosting a barbecue for agencies and friends. Our team at Capstrat has been commissioned several times to create promotional posters and T-shirts.

Here are a few of mine.

This illustration was created to accompany an article about the need for healthy clinical research volunteers. The article points out many safe opportunities in science for the average person.

And it’s kinda funky.

This illustration promoted an article about the magic of mobile technology and touch navigation.

This illustration was created for a suite of essays about the financial impact of games.

Two other designers and I were commissioned to produce a series of promotional posters for superstar printer, Classic Graphics. The objective was to promote the company's new 40" press. Our only agreement was to celebrate the number 40. I chose a practical and public service application. Because with the undead…well you never know.

Occhi Felici is Italian for "Laughing Eyes." I designed and illustrated these two options for the product to conceptually show that feeling.

And this limoncello would definitely give you laughing eyes.

Rethink is a poster show by AIGA Raleigh. Creatives were commissioned to promote small, yet sustainable changes that may have a large impact on our environment. I chose simple, everyday changes we can make around water use.

This mark was created for use by the East Coast Game Conference. It's a visual puzzle declaring, "Innovate or Die."

In honor of toys from my childhood, I created this series of serigraphs for sell and collection.

GlaxoSmithKline reinterpreted the sales process as Winning Practices. It was based on being real and valuable. The pastiche look I created was meant to be urgent and very hands-on.

Local honey is always the best.

I created this pin-up style package to showcase the goodness that’s as good as your hometown sweetie.

Author Sheila Callahan and I collaborated on a book cover to be both mysterious and clue-filled. "Truth Runs Deep" is about a police chief embroiled with the Catholic Church while solving a slew of related murders. Issues of religious and sexual intolerance begin to emerge in this fast-paced, suspense-filled mystery.
