Well, Mostly just T-shirts

My style has always been inspired by artwork from skateboarding; there is no other industry that runs through graphics more quickly or as unique. Now that independent T-shirt companies are popping up by the hundreds through a DIY movement, it makes me want to take a step back from all the saturation. However, I feel there are graphics that work for a time and place, but also timeless classics that will live on for decades. My goal is to design just one of those timeless tees before I hang up my guns.

Recently, I've been working with Patagonia on t-shirt designs, whom I respect immensely for thier work to use organic cotton and build a message into thier brand. I applaud Yvon Choinard for what he has created.

At Paul Frank, I worked on most of the t-shirt designs from 1999-2001. I would brainstorm, separate colors, and applied them into other products such as bags, socks, hangtags, fleece and women's wear.

At Nixon, I was largely responsible for all men's and women's shirts from 2002-2004. The product department finally grew into it's own, but I continued to provide designs for specific target markets.
