Since 2000, Bunkhouse has hosted South by San José in the parking lot of Jo’s Coffee. Since then, the annual occurrence has grown from a one-day occurrence to a massive five-day mini-festival that features food offerings, pop-up bars, local vendors, and dozens of bands. I was tapped to create the 2025 festival poster, merchandise, and graphics package.

Inspired by one of the coolest cats ever, our former hotel mascot Rocky, the Bunkhouse Art Department set out to craft an identity for Rocky’s that’s more than brand—its’s a whimsical daydream come to life. We envisioned a place that captures the cozy, sunlit charm of the perfect summer day, complete with sun, fun, buns, and puns. Think of it as a beach vibe, but on a driveway. Many thanks to Britt Warren for our main Rocky’s logo and Avery Branen for killer cat illustrations.

An artist-driven publishing project. I started this project in 2020 to create limited-edition publications, apparel, and home goods with the help of creatives all over the US. All of our projects are collaborations and ALL of the profits will go to charity.

Single most important project I've ever worked on.
Giving Shape To Time features photographic work by 13 American Photographers processing the events of 2020. Quarantine brought our lives into a strange limbo of sorts, where the world outside was grappling with an invisible, deadly enemy, while inside our homes, we tried to understand and process. During shutdown, the things that mark our days — commuting to work, sending our kids to school, having a drink with friends — vanished and time took on a flat, seamless quality. Showcasing work created during 2020, Giving Shape To Time, finds 13 photographers attempting to do just that, give shape and meaning to a time of uncertainty. This new book showcases many never-before-seen works and includes an essay by Christopher Neely.

A little corner of this website to house some of the various graphics, illustrations, screen prints and general image making that doesn’t fit neatly into a particular bucket.

So, working closely with the SHOWTIME team, we created #ShamelessLastCall: an immersive digital event that launched online immediately after the finale. The event consisted of a final panel discussion, an interactive 3D recreation of the Shameless set, and lots of exclusive content.
