Ornament Trail MKE

Ornament Trail is part of the Festival of Lights put on by the Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21. In 2023, I was asked to paint one of these larger than life ornaments to decorate the holidays downtown with the subject of my choosing.

It is an honor to see it on display for the second year in a row in front of Chase Bank on Water St. & Wisconsin Ave.

Check out an article on the project here.

Maptacular

In 2019 I was chosen to illustrate a map of Cathedral Square Park in Downtown Milwaukee through the Milwaukee County Park’s Maptacular initiative.

You can purchase at the Historic Milwaukee, Inc store in Downtown Milwaukee to support the parks!

Summer of Soul

In 2023, I worked with the Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX to illustrate a map to be used as placemats for their screening of Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).

It showcases Mavis Staples, B.B. King, Gladys Knight & the Pips along with other elements of the festival in 1969 at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem.

Mug Club Hoodie

I worked with Vennture Brew Co on their 2022 Mug Club member hoodie. Simon asked me to illustrate a retro vibe on the back – and this is what we came up with!

Cool dudes, great beer and delicious coffee. Make sure to check them out on North Ave!

Milwaukee Film Festival

In 2021, the pandemic was still affecting events around the country and the Milwaukee Film Festival was able to host their annual festival… but online.

I was asked to create an illustration to brighten the mood and bring the feeling of travel and wonder for the festival since we’d be watching it from our couches that year. The artwork was used in promotional materials online and for the festival’s placemat/program branding.

MIAD Alumni Exploring the Current and the Imminent - An Invitational Exhibit

“Much of the world in the grips of deadly pandemic and the quest for more equitable human rights and economic fairness is ascendent in communities across the globe.  This is an exhibit of a few of the many alumni of the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design who have made contributions through their art and design work to the current dialog on the many pressing social issues of our time.  These artists and designers represent the various majors at MIAD.  The conceptual and visual languages that they use reflects this diversity.”

I was asked to be a part of a gallery showcasing designs and illustrations on social issues.

Over 2.2 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean water at home. Many women and children walk miles a day to collect safe drinking water. In the modern age, why do communities still need to suffer?
