For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new collection with Trisha Rhomberg of Pretty Trashy. Prints on vintage clothing, American Apparel, historical interpretations, typography, illustration, some naughtiness and more.

Here’s some preview images. Will post more as we get closer to a launch date.

Strange fonts

This week, Jeanne Moderno ended up with the dubious honor of being on the
Merkwürdige Schriften 2009 (Strange Types 2009) list over at Slanted.

Thanks guys! Strange, that would be the best way to put it.

Here’s a link. Here’s the same link translated into dubious English.

My tour poster on tour

doug’s tour
This fall, Oklahoma City-based photographer Doug Schwarz followed LA-based band Normandie on tour. And I just happen to be designing for Normandie.

Normandie is a side project of theSTART – or another way to look at it, Doug also followed theSTART on tour because Normandie just happened to be in the same vehicle. Follow that? Hope so.

So it was fun when Doug pinged me and said he got my poster signed by everyone he talked to. It’s now part of his Wall of Inspiration (above); the signed poster (below).

tees-n-stuff
This year I also designed some tees for Normandie. They can be snagged via the new online Normandie store here. They’re running a holiday special too (details on page). One can also order a poster. [Read more →]
