Create
I create within many commercial art disciplines, ranging from branding and promotion, print and illustration, to website design and pro-bono efforts. Close at hand with my commercial projects ... I also continue to explore personal art exercises and adventures. Here you will find a sample of some of my recent projects and ideas, enjoy!
Mt. Music Festival
I created a collection of promotional materials for this 3-month long music and skiing festival. The campaign includes posters, banners, apparel, stickers, flyers, web graphics, and more.
"With the launch of this new promotional branding, the event received substantial increases in attendance and sales."

Mission Ridge Brand Campaign
I designed, art directed and managed the 2009-2010 Mission Ridge Brand Campaign. I spent a good amount of time researching not only contemporary design trends but also the unique qualities of their business, geography, services and branding to help position them strongly in the market place.
The brand is very multifaceted with creative material in print, advertising (traditional and online), guerilla marketing, apparel design, multiple event promotions, billboards, signage, packaging and much more.
Eric Smith Identity
Personal Identity package for yours truly. My focus on this project is quality materials, and a comfortable tactile element. Everything (even the pencils) are made of 100% recycled materials. Some of the papers include .05" chipboard, Neenah letterhead, custom craft envelopes and pocket Moleskins.
All printing done with the wonderful letterpress studio, Cranky Pressman.
Daric Paul
This is an album artwork and branding project I created for a talented musician out of Arizona. The artwork captures Daric's journey while he wrote is debut album, "It's You I Wanna be Near."

Live Now
Some time ago, I was diagnosed with Cancer. It changed the way I ate, slept, and most importantly, the way I live. Before cancer I was like most folks, just cruising along. It was during my treatment, when I started to discover what cancer could gift to me - the ability to absorb every moment as if each one were my whole life.
The Live Now Project was born!
We are a growing collection of friends, powerfully pursuing the notion of 'living now'. Communicating through artwork, literature, relationships, exhibitions and more. Engaging our participants to live conscious and happy lives!

Friendship Exhibit
Mixed media art exhibition running Sept 1 - Oct. 30. Cafe Mela, Wenatchee WA.
The ideas behind the show include happy, casual memories collected while growing up in the ‘80s as a small-town kid. The art is very low-key, doodle-like, created with hopes of inspiring childhood memories and happiness to all who experience it.
