Sometimes I sit and draw, and sometimes I just sit*
New work for @santacruztrails - In my recent graphics projects for them I’ve always ended up learning more about the nature around me 🙏
*Courtney Barnett reference
Wordmark and animation design for Santa Cruz Trail’s Dig Demo campaign. They are doing some rad work on the mtb trails out in Demo forest (shout out to impeccable Flow Trail vibes last winter🤌). Pick up a shovel or throw em a few bucks if you can!
*BIG OL’ PAINTING* Thank you so much S.C.M.T.S. for setting me loose on your office entryway! The mural design is a patchwork of iconic Santa Cruz flora, fauna, and scenes from the trail.
Painted in one color, mustard field, the one color to rule them all, prove me wrong.
With vital assistance from the handsome @hugegiraffe and the tornado of office dogs.
Illustration for a @cervelo anniversary celebration that I worked on during the hottest weeks this past summer. Printed on ‼️ silk ‼️ to really class up the joint. Thank you for the project.
New logo, illustrations and website I designed for the very talented @maryamonaghan@the_rewilding_coach . I’m really proud of how this all came together - endless thank yous to Mary for trusting me with your rebrand project, it sparked so much creativity and joy in me.

The new trail network at Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument is now open! I’m not going to restrain my use of exclamation points when I also get to say -
I got to make some art for it!!!
You can get it on a t-shirt!!!*
It is on a @woodhousebrews beer that supports trail work!!!
And last photo is proof that its not all just pretty art around here - me pretending I know how to bench cut at a dig day at CCD from 2022!!!
Many high fives to @santacruztrails for this major accomplishment and gift to trail users for generations to come. Thank you for roping me in for some graphics, too!
*While limited supplies last, you can still grab yourself a shirt at the @santacruztrails office.
This smile walking up to me
will forever stop time
calm the torrent of beating feathers,
ease the flicks of silver fins
I drop my apple
and it just hangs there,
suspended in perfect light
A hundred times over,
our imprint on warming sands still wet
A hundred thousand times over,
like golden meadow pollen still rising
the word love fills my mouth
In awe at forever.

Between you and I and the internet, I think you’re phenomenal. I often jokingly ask: what the heck am I going to do with you? I’m excited to keep figuring that out.
Let’s start with a flight to Sydney today?
