Marine Layer is a San Francisco-based t-shirt and apparel company. I’ve been doing design for them occasionally for the past year. This was one of the first project I worked on for them. The logo was already created before I got involved, and the sunset design was their most popular print, so it was a natural fit for the wall at their office / hang-out spot.
This was a project for a friend working with this San Francisco music festival. I came in late to the project, after much artwork had already been created, but deadlines were fast approaching and print-ready files were needed. My involvement here was in layout and typography. In both posters the artwork and logos were ready, but a solution was needed to organize the information in a visually attractive and readable way.

Gerald Ford said this when he addressed the nation after Nixon resigned, but an argument could be made that its as relevant now as ever, post George Bush. I printed these in 2008 during the election season, took them to Denver to sell at the Democratic National Convention – I don’t think anyone there got the reference. I still thought they were cool.
Probably my most popular t-shirt design so far. I printed these in 2008 and took them to the San Diego comic con to sell them on the street. They were a pretty big hit there. Also got them stocked at a boutique called Density on Valencia St. in San Francisco.
LBJ was a great president. Seriously underrated. He signed some damn good legislation, civil rights, Medicare and Medicaid. And he held cabinet-level meetings nude in a hot tub. This shirt is based on his 1964 campaign slogan.
The concept here was to create a ‘headboard’ for a bed, in a bedroom in Englewood, NJ. The client gave me the concept, and a list of flowers she wanted included. Took me about 5 days.
Laura is a painter and a good friend. I built this website for her in 2006. One of my oldest projects that’s still around, and even though I’ve learned quite a bit about web development since then, this is still one of my favorites for design and functionality.

This was a logo I created for a series of t-shirts we were printing. The shirts were a v-neck baseball top with red piping, and I wanted a logo with strong, broad lines that wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the colors in the trim. Because the cost of the garments was higher than usual, we printed a small run which sold out very quickly. I’m not sure how many are out there, but I do still see them worn with pride by the folks who did get one.
