Going International

Here’s a little snapshot of one thing I’ve been working on this week at Lunar Cow. One of our main clients is the International Marine Animals Trainers Association (IMATA). Being an international organization, I have been taking translations of their membership invites, and translating it into different languages. Never before have I done this much design utilizing other languages. Thus far I have worked in Japanese, Chinese, Dutch, French, Finnish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. I was once fluent in Spanish, from living in Mexico, and reading through the translations made me feel even less competent in the (once) second language.

They, The Undeserving

This morning I spent too many hours screenprinting new sleeves for a limited run of GiantsThey, The Undeserving.” The record has been out of print for several months, but the band has an extra 100 un-packaged LP’s, and they had me screenprint a run of new sleeves for this limited run. 100 hand-numbered, hand-pulled sleeves. I’ll post more photos when they’re all assembled.

Katie Herzig Fall Tour Merch

Here is a poster that I just completed for Katie Herzig to sell on her fall tour with Brandi Carlile and Over the Rhine. Her band-member Jordan is going to be screen-printing these, as well as a t-shirt version. Also, Jordan’s printing company is called ‘Prints of Whales,’ hilarious.

New Job. New Work.

As some of you may know, I recently moved to Akron, Ohio to be close to my girlfriend, and part of a great community of friends. As a result, I applied and was given a job at this awesome design firm called Lunar Cow, just a couple of miles from my house. I started last week, and have done work for a slue of clients thus far, including Six Flags, the International Marine Animal Trainers’ Association, Fond du Lac Wisconsin, and a few others. Above are some screen shots of a Media Invitation that I did for Six Flags’ FrightFest. My co-worker Adam came up with the Coffin-Roller Coaster idea.

Waking Up

Today our apartment is just completely filled with a film crew and equipment. The short film is co-directed by Steve (Endeavor) and Luke, and written by Samm (Mothlight). They asked to film in our bathroom and bedroom. Needless to say, there is equipment everywhere, and despite how big our place is, it’s still hard to move around.
