2012 CAMPAIGN
Here’s to new opportunity, a new outlook & a new year. I'm taking my small campaign to the masses. "Stay Positive 2012" posters & sticker matchbooks were sent out last week.
I was intent on keeping my message simply straightforward (i have a tendency to add a lot of details), and enjoyed creating custom modern type to set off the whole handmade production.
Do something positive for yourself and others in 2012.

Rust Experiment
I recently had 2 small gates made for my pad by a talented friend. I specifically wanted steel gates that would rust, and he made them out of cold rolled steel.
I found myself staring at the gate whenever passing by, looking for signs of impending rust. after a few days of lackluster oxidation, i decided to speed up the process. I was instructed by a another friend to find a household acid and spray the gate with it. I had a jug of Muriatic Pool Acid handy. Bang! done. It worked like a charm and the gate rusted overnight.
That got me thinking about the possibility of making some art.
Here's a step by step of my process. I still have to cut up the individual signs, but i love the result of this method.

Logo Illustration

Working with a talented agency in Seattle, i created some new 1 and 2 color interpretations of 'the Quaker' for Quaker Oats. Not sure this one will see the light of day, but a very interesting excercise in the subtleties of branding. Getting to work on an iconic piece of advertising history was a coup for me.
