CURRENT INFLUENCES

Lately I've been listening to a lot of music. My love of music has no boundaries. From Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to Don Henley—I listen to it all. I've also been reading some great design blogs. Check out Abduzeedu and Fubiz for some inspiration. Then give a OMG posters a look for some today's best illustrators and screen printers.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

BBQ Invitation

My good friend Rich is getting married in August and called me the other night in a frantic. He had forgotten to take care of his rehearsal dinner invitation! Being the superb friend that I am I sprung into action and whipped up a quick southern-styled BBQ invitation for him. The end result was a thrilled Rich that was now back in good graces with his fiance.
