Ugly Sweaters!

Put together a poster for a Birthday event for Melvin P. happening next week. 

A Poster for Priester

I created a poster yesterday for a Mixer Event for Mel! This was a quick project meant to attract a younger crowd than usual.

Second Chance Prom

I was very honored to be a part of this project. I'd been talking with Darren of Creative Distillery for a while. We frequently bounce ideas off one another just to have another critical design eye with an opinion, and since he's been freelancing for a long time now, he's a valuable teacher for me. He asked me to be a part of designing a poster and logo for this event.

The thing is, is that you may have heard of it. It was put on by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition, and was in reaction to a high school banning same sex couples from attending the prom. They wanted to throw a prom for everyone, and everyone was invited. Several high profile individuals were involved such as Lance Bass, Green Day, Questlove, Cat Cora, and more. Ellen tweeted about it!!

It happened and was a great success! I was able to attend and see that... yes, it was in fact just like a regular prom. I felt like I was in high school again!








thanks to Mister Nick, my date to the prom, for the photos.

Crossroads Film Festival, Jackson MS

I was a part of the planning committee and Art crew for Crossroads this year. I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of work! Especially near the end. I wasn't able to attend the festival, but I know it was a success in many ways. The theme was centered around the movie 2010 : the year we make contact. It was the sequal to the popular movie, 2001 : a space odyssey. We attempted to create something that was very retro - sci-fi looking.
Here are some samples of the work I did for the festival.

Some samples of screens that cycled on the big screen between each movie showing.

Paper Daggers

My friend and old co-worker Josh has put together a site of his posters. He has an affinity for skulls. To each his own obsession!

I love his style, and incorporation of photos and type is genius. The symbolism is beautiful. And great, vivid color!
