Distressed Adspace 1988

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.

Exhibition Poster 2002

IEK Hex Pattern 2012

Kennealy's T-Shirt Design 2001

I was very gratified when the bartenders actually wore this. Everyone there knew it was the best place in the world (for its time) so we were all comfortable with the irony.

Exhibition Announcement 2004

Lil" Nikki's Print Ads 2004

Lil' Nikki's was strange club, I thought. Liz Davis used to call it, "Where strippers and cops collide." I was never comfortable there but when they purchased the back cover of Playback StL, Jim and Laura were nice enough to put me onto the job of designing some ads to fill the new real estate and I was grateful for the work.

MOCO Logo Design 1999

Playback Print Ads 2003/2004

Don't get me wrong. Jim and Laura are great people but I don't think they ever made enough money off their magazine, Playback StL, to pay their freelance contributors. I did some design work for them here and there and they generally paid me in ad space, which I found an equitable arrangement at the time. I took advantage of the deal by announcing exhibitions and services, as you see.

Boring 2002

My friend, Steve Nowels, put me onto this brochure job and I was, of course, grateful for the lead but, like most paying gigs, the work promised to be deadly dull. Still, I found a way to make it happen and, as I recall, enjoy myself a little bit in the process.

IEK Innovation 2012

There's a new copywriter at work named Mariah.
She came up with this line which I like so far
and so I created this simple design around it.

Cobalt Blue CD Release Poster 2002

This design, made with an element of a Rebecca Ryan collage, never got used. As I recall Sean, the guitar player, who oversaw the design work for the band, chose to go another way. Too bad, too. This is a pretty great poster.

I almost forgot I had done these as well, which better showcase Rebecca's collages.

Above Average Logo Design 1999

Paper Exhibition Announcement 1997

Avatar Dump Redux

I realize I already did a post like this but I found a few more profile images in my crypt and so, like everything else, they're getting added as PROOF I WAS HERE.

TAG Iron-On's 2000

In Print No.2: Sarah Cloud 2002

Here's some stuff that made it into the St. Louis Post Dispatch: a live shot that I don't remember taking at the Hi-Pointe and the album cover I designed for Sarah Cloud's Heavyweight based around a photograph I shot of her at the South Broadway Athletic Club.
