Dreaming of Fairytales

These whimsical illustrations were inspired by the avant garde Soviet constructionist style of children's books from the 1920's and 1930's --- although this illustration was intended to be more playful and energetic!
I remember loving the woodblock prints in children's fairy tales more than the stories themselves – the chaos, subtle hidden elements, the mystery and action. And how every time I would look at them I would find something new.

These cubist inspired limited edition prints are available for purchase at Etsy.com

New series of cocktail lounge inspired designs for Etsy.com

Accidental tourist

I was working on some desktop wallpaper designs for a new Anheuser-Busch beverage called Peels (www.enjoypeels.com) and this was an accidental design I happened into that I then transformed into a travel poster. Tsukiyama means hilly japanese garden. Limited edition prints are available for purchase at Etsy.com

Cocktail lounge mural

One of my projects was designing a large mural for a cocktail lounge in a new upscale Louisiana style restaurant. The restaurant was located in factory town in the middle of revitalizing, so I thought it was important to connect with the local working-class heritage of the neighborhood.
