WHITAKER/BRAITHWAITE WEDDING INVITATIONS

Couldn't have done it without help!
These are invitations I printed for my lifelong friend Katie, and her soon-to-be-husband, Johnny. Katie was our photographer for our wedding, so this was my end of the deal--printing her invitation sets. All 150 4-color invitations and RSVP cards were printed on Crane's Lettra, and designed by Katie. You can check out her photography skills here!

MIKE HIRSCH

Below are a few editions I did for artist Mike Hirsch. The original drawings, from which these prints were made, were hand lettered by the artist. Each edition totals between 120-200 prints.  Hang tight to see where you can get your hands on one of these beauties...

ANDREW LEWIKI--PAROWAX BOXES

Installed in The Architecture and Design Museum.
Behind the scenes: setting up the screenprinting jig modified to print on the 9.5" x 19.5" x 9.5" MDF boxes
Coworker, Andrew Lewiki, asked me to help him with this ambitious project for the exhibition Come In 2: Surf. Skate. Bike. at the Architecture and Design Museum in Los Angeles.  All 50 MDF boxes were screenprinted to replicate the original Parowax household wax boxes.

EMILY JOYCE KITES

Below are pictures of  Emily Joyce's contribution to Detours Tahoe City--a site specific art exhibition in Tahoe City.  For this project, Emily had me print 200 silver on black kites that she later assembled with simple straws string and paper clips. A  corresponding container was set up on the beach, to "invite the viewer to step out of her passive role as audience member and become a participant in the creation of the artwork.  Joyce upends the notion of an artwork’s static site by asking the public to choose the site of this artwork. When the public decides where they would like to fly their kite, the work is complete.  Like a solar eclipse, the black and silver Sun Spot Kites reveal and conceal the sun on a summer day."  More details about the exhibition can be found here.
