Id, Ego, Superego

Id, Ego, Superego Personifying the 3 psychological aspects of an individual (Id: hedonistic self-serving seeker of pleasure. Superego: straight laced upstanding doer of good. Ego: mediator between the two) with found-object assemblage allowed for a sense of personality which, afterall, is kinda what this illustration is all about.

Every Normal Man Must Be Tempted

Every normal man must, at times, be tempted… A sinister quote by American journalist, H.L. Mencken that speaks to eventual universal frustration. And though we may all arrive, occasionally, in this dark place, our pathways there will be unique to our individual situations.

Abraham-Like-Lincoln

Abraham –Like– Lincoln Have you ever -like- met someone that -like- uses so many -like- filler words that their speech is utterly destroyed? What if the speech that was destroyed was one of the most famous in history? Does it mean that I’m old if I make fun of contemporary culture and communication? -Like- get […]

Colder Than a Witches Tit

It’s Colder Than a Witches Tit I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s just a circle and a snowflake. A stripped-down, minimal, stark, cold circle and snowflake.

Ministry

I Only Kill to Know I’m Alive—So What? An over-the-top and darkly expressive lyric by the industrial band, Ministry, this visual needed to be equally emotive. Rather than clearly defining a situation, symbol, or metaphor that acts as reportage, instead a mood is created inline with the tone of the writing. Messy, uncomfortable imagery hints […]

U2

Dream Up the World You Want to Live In—Dream Out Loud This song lyric by U2 is supported by a nebulous, ethereal image. Rather than clearly defining what a reimagined world is (which would realistically be different for each person), a surreal, impossible landscape is left dreamy and open for interpretation more in the vein […]

Flibbertigiblets

Flibbertigiblets One of the tenets of this book is to have fun. To be free of the inevitable frustrations that can arise when working with clients that see you as a scribe rather than an author. With this in mind I am able to look at things in any manner I see fit. It can […]

I Think You Think Design is Easy

I Think YOU Think Design is Easy Lo-fi, haphazard, sketchy, lomographic design (ala James Victore) is actually much harder to do than you would think. Something that looks quick and “in-the-moment” can often have an endearing quality that feels authentic and strangely contemporary. The irony of rendering a piece about design being easy in a […]

Hitler in a Dress

Hitler in a Dress Or, It’s Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It Book titles can be proper, descriptive, authoritative, professorial, or they can be whacky and attention-grabbing. Hopefully you think of this as the latter and aren’t offended. The sub-title here is key. It provides insight into what this book is all […]

Mind Candy

Mind Candy This book—indeed graphic design—is about thinking visually. Portraying meaning with shape, color, type, organization, and imagery. One part visual, one part intellectual (with some emotion along the way). It is of the mind and of the sense of sight, each incomplete without the other. To that end the amalgumation of “M(eye)nd” is appropriate. […]
