jewell & ginnie


I been working with my friend, Adam Boozer, developing the identity for Jewell & Ginnie, his "storyography" company that produces kickass HD video for all sorts of folks. he just finished a 45 minute documentary on a local/national artist extraordinaire, tim hussey. i am currently developing the rest of the identity that will include some real cool stuff. keep on the look out.

call and response


mark sloan has done it again. coming to the halsey at the end of may is one of the most exciting art shows to grace our beautiful city: Call And Response: Africa to America, the art of Nick Cave and Phylis Galembo. "Artist Nick Cave creates sculptural works that he calls “Soundsuits” consisting of brightly colored fabrics, elaborate embroidery, beadwork, raffia, and, other natural materials. Phyllis Galembo’s photographic portraits feature masqueraders from the West African countries of Benin, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. “Call and Response: Africa to America / The Art of Nick Cave and Phyllis Galembo” pairs the work of these two uniquely American artists, each of whom explores the contours of West African masquerade through their art." Thanks to mark for allowing us to create the logo and various materials for this exciting exhibit. look for stickers soon. make sure you keep your eyes and ears open for that--you will be disappointed if you miss this show.
