A series of Illustrations for the popular meditation app, Headspace. Most of these illustrations were featured on their blog and social media channels.
I created a series of stop motion animations for Headspace + Movember's film series about men's health. The animation sequences were woven in between interviews, taken place at Movember's Barber Shop in Los Angeles, CA.
Royal NoneSuch Gallery is an artist-run, alternative art and event space located in Oakland, California. I re-designed their logo to better suit their mission and aesthetic. The asymmetrical shape is a play on the stereotype that galleries are merely white boxes, especially since RNG is in a DIY, shotgun-shaped space that enables the curating and viewing experience to be unique. The words are positioned in a way that suggesting movement and playfulness, as they adapt to the unique space around them.
Exercises in Escapism is a limited edition of Risograph prints made from my digital illustrations printed by Colpa Press in San Francisco. The series consists of 30 prints of each design (90 total), each hand signed and numbered. Currently available at Press: Works on Paper in San Francisco and City Limits Gallery in Oakland.
Jasmine Reef is an alias for the collaborative work between myself and artist Reba West Fraser. In 2013 we published the book WET. The models were photographed standing vertically next to a raft in front of a green screen. In postproduction I rotated the photos and horizontally and added the pool background. Gravity is pulling hair and clothing in an unnatural direction giving the photos a surreal quality. You may view the entire publication online here.
Heavy Breathing is a summer series of free critical theory seminars in the San Francisco Bay Area. The seminars take form as absurd, artist-led fitness classes. Heavy Breathing invites guest artists and the general public to feel the burn as we combine physical exercise with group discussion on topics such as humor, ritual, failure, pleasure, aesthetics, and ephemerality.
I designed their logo, swag (bandana), website, and fabricated textile art for their opening at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
I designed and illustrated a flowchart for The Bold Italic addressing a hot topic for young Californians: should you live in Los Angeles or San Francisco? Even though the two cities couldn't be more different, they do share the laid back, breezy California vibe. I wanted the piece to remain geographically neutral while highlighting Classic California aesthetic. No specific landmarks were used, only suggestive color, pattern, and graphic elements featured in the copy.
Conclusion: Whether you prefer the bong or the bottle, smog or fog, there's a place for you.
