Event Stickers

Each year at a local festival my artistic contribution is a custom illustrated sticker; I’m not directly associated with the event, but I enjoy randomly giving it away to other attendees as a keepsake. It’s a chance for me to try out new illustration tools and techniques, and push outside of my comfort zone.

2024

A silly reference to Reddi-wip (and Devo). If you’re curious, no, I do not partake. I prefer to lose my braincells by not getting enough sleep.

I obviously had fun figuring out the final palette for the rainbow on this one. Read more…

Created using Adobe Fresco and Adobe Illustrator.

2025

An old unused agave illustration of mine was a good starting point for this vaguely Texas-inspired concept. Read more…

Created using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop.

2026

Ambigrams! This sticker reads the same way when rotated 180 degrees. I’ll do a writeup and update with the printed sticker when it arrives.

Created using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop.


Mare Internum

A character from the completed sci-fi webcomic Mare Internum. To read more about the process and symbolism behind this animation, check out the writeup on my blog.


Polygonal Insects

This personal project began as a test drive and exploration of the line-only polygon style of illustration.

I felt the almost-exact symmetry that an insect has lends itself particularly well to this style. Also, bugs are pretty rad-looking (… as long as they're not touching me).


Wedding Announcement

After experimenting with the style in the insect series above, I created this wedding announcement illustration for my brother and his fiancée.

Both are native Texans, so I used native wildflowers for the garland in their wedding colors (of course). I chose to have my brother depicted in mostly angular, straight lines, while using curves for his fiancée.

Ideation and evolution of the flower shapes


The Little Longhorn

I have had the good fortune of getting to work with one of Austin's oldest honkey tonk dive bars, The Little Longhorn Saloon (formerly known as Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon).

From 2012 to 2016 I illustrated a poster and created additional collateral (fliers, signup sheets, car labels, etc.) for The Little Longhorn's annual Memorial Day Car Show benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They were posted around town to advertise the event, and are also signed by Dale Watson and Ginny at the event itself, then auctioned off at the show.

You can see more about the process here: The Cadillac, the TR6, the Camaro.

Merch

I also created a small line of merch for sale in the bar. The two specific pieces below have a hand-lettered design referencing a sign hanging behind the bar. Coined by Ginny's late husband, Don: "Ginny Says... No Fussin', No Cussin', No Hasselin', No Wresslin'."

I had to update some of the lettering to match the order and misspellings on the sign.
