Here are ten selected posters for a variety of clients, ranging from a brewery to a university to a theater.

Logo and brand design are among my favorite creative exercises of all time. I usually have at least one logo job in the queue every month, but I can always use more. If you need a clever corporate identity, a set of icons, or a comprehensive branding package, just give me a call.

This was a Guardian cover for a series of humor pieces about what would happen at the inauguration if Palin and McCain won. The art director gave me freedom to create whatever I thought would be funny.
In this Mark Morris Group adaptation of the Prokofiev version of Romeo and Juliet, the lovers do not really die. Instead, they ascend together into some kind of heavenly destination - it's a rarely performed version of the familiar story.
