Little late on this one…
Single cover art for my cousin-from-another-husband @smarcucci21 and his band Young Man Winter, created for one smoking piece of music named "Crabapple" about nostalgia and the pain of leaving a childhood home.
Thanks to the boys in the band, Fractul Variable (my new favorite typeface) and the I-Won't-Tell stolen piece of 1960s real estate ephemera I jacked that house from.
Head on over to whatever you stick in your earhole and check out Crabapple tonight!

New work for the good people at @project_genius , the Gone Fishin’ puzzle and game gift set.
This was easily one of my favorite projects from 2025, as we were able to employ a boatload of ancient public domain paintings and fish illustrations from the early 20th century, reminiscent of Golden encyclopedias and museum dioramas I loved staring at as a kid. I had a blast layering my logos, badge designs, and patterns atop that musty old stuff.
Available now @tjmaxx

Ahhhhhhhh, TASTY new graphics, sugary and sweet, designed for my boys @ericolsengames and @jeffargast at @messytablegames
Every now and then - and it doesn't happen as much as you think - a project comes into shape quickly, and we zeroed in on the option shown here in the early stages, approved soon after by Walmart.
There are some visual influences baked into the title treatment; any and all designers and creatives out there, feel free to lob any guesses my way.

SUSHI CHECKERS, a take on the classic game that’s as fun and silly and tasty as it sounds, created with @project_genius
It’s on shelves at a bookstore, nook store, or cook store near you at this very second. Head out and grab some before they roll.

A few more logo lockups and a roundel variation for Wildes Grocery, a new cooking and cocktails service based here in old New England, founded and operated by @kdicksonod
The overall branding vibe is warm, Earthy, and peppered with a little nostalgia. I love bright, pop colors, and had to get out of my comfort zone a bit by toning everything down.

Another teaser for a soon-to-be wrapped logo project. All designers love monograms and letters reconstituted into object forms, but this one was more subtle (an adjective I’m not often accused of being).
After creating some concepts where the W was front and center in the primary icon, we decided to knock it back for a stronger composition of objects. But that sucker is still in the skeleton and I was able to create a secondary mark from it.
More to come

New work, to be rolled out soon for a local business (local is always more fun). Think people, think food, think bringing them together in a natural way.

New single from @youngmanwintermusic dropping in your headspace this month on Spotify. @smarcucci21 and I knocked our heads together and cooked up this cover art over the summer (Google “Golden Spike” and check the reference when you’re done with lunch). Who needs AI that looks like someone’s spaghetti vomit when there are 500 million old photos and vintage imagery available on public domain sites?
Thanks to the guys in the band for trusting my taste.

Big wheels, sculpted fenders, Euro styling, zero emissions (maybe not zero)..,all that good stuff! A couple more preview shots from @erinattwell and David Attwell’s new Car Buffs game I helped develop over the Spring and Summer. I’ve got car graphics coming out of my pores like a leaky oil pan. More to come as the game gets closer to market.

Couple more previews from the upcoming car themed board game I had a blast working on with @erinattwell and David Attwell.
Thanks to @antonio__marinella for a load of beautifully illustrated automotive art that really brought the project a polished, big publisher feel.
Special thanks to @madebygpi , my old gig, for the project connection.
More coming soon, gear heads and grease monkeys!
