Laura's planner







My friend (and wife) Laura likes handmade things, and needed a new planner for 2011. So I drew and designed the pages, and our friend Kim chose some beautiful handmade paper, then crafted the binding and covers to create this unique planner.

William Stafford poster


A poster for a George Fox University event celebrating the life and work of William Stafford, who was a poet laureate and peacemaker. I tried a version illustrating the featured documentary "Every War Has Two Losers" (below), but it got too busy. Plus wasn't room for the large amount of text that went on the poster.

Just married






I just got married to Laura Dunn! I did a somewhat casual handlettered invitation, since we were having a small, somewhat casual wedding. Our beautiful rings were made by Patrick Burt, and Joel Bock took some great photos for us. And we lived happily ever after...

Typographic oddities in Scotland







Photos of signs I took years ago in Scotland and England. Lots of interesting typography and handlettering there. The one of the old cigarette machine appears to read "ever open kids" but actually reads "ever open kiosk."

I OK, YOU OK


Photo of the sidewalk in Eugene, Oregon. It originally said "look" so people would look both ways when crossing the street. They must not teach that skill in kindergarten anymore...

Cookbook ephemera







My coworker and fellow designer Janelle inherited this 1936 Household Searchlight cookbook from her grandmother. It has a cool sculpture-embossed cover and beautifully worn tabs, plus lots of old clipped recipes stuck inside.

Invisible t-shirt design





At Twin Rocks Tween camp this year the campers were going to tie-dye their t-shirts. So I did a design to make it a little more fun: we printed white on a white shirt. It wasn't quite invisible before dying, but close. The ink resists the dye, so the design shows up after the shirt is dyed. Pretty cool, huh?

A few camper's shirts shown below.
