Dorr Law Firm

I was approached by a lawyer who was in the process of starting his own firm. In collaborating with the client we hit upon the ideals he wanted to bring to his practice.

ILLUSTRATION

Looking Out FoR Number Two

Book Illustration

I honestly don't think I've had more fun drawing commissioned work as I did while illustrating Looking Out For Number Two: A Slightly Irreverent Guide to Poo, Gas, and Other Things That Come Out of Your Baby. Written with brilliant humor and genuine insight by pediatric gastroenterologists Bryan Vartabedian, MD, I allowed my drawings to be at their most cartoony for this one. Filled to the brim with baby butts, poo graphs, and fart physics, this project was an absolute joy to work on.

InsightS

Book Illustration

An anthology of essays by Yale graduated entrepreneurs, offering advice and insight on successful starting and running businesses. Compiled by Chris LoPresti, this collection of essays features complex ideas which I attempted to distill and support through full page illustrations.

Event Identity and Print Design

5 Rabbit Brewing - Chinga Tu Pelo

Illustration and Product Design

5 Rabbit Brewing Company is the only Latin American brewery in the United States. They were contracted to brew a basic house beer for a bar in Chicago's Trump Tower. However, when Donald Trump made extraordinarily disparaging remarks about people of Mexican heritage, the brewery cut all ties of business. This left them with a ton of beer which they renamed "Chinga Tu Pelo" and donated all proceeds to the The International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago. The shirt design came out of a random twitter exchange I had with the founder of the brewery which led to my design also being sold to benefit the same non-profit.

3 Sheeps Brewing Violence of the Lambs was created for the purposes of promoting the eponymous Halloween event. The 10 minute short film that resulted was much more than any of the involved parties expected.
