Posters
This is a sampling of posters I created at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts) and later in Chicago. Silk-screened posters were usually done in the wee hours. I remember going to bed one time for an hour before our graduate seminar, only to have my dreams dominated by cinematic, close-up images of ink sloshing through the screen. While printing posters for my thesis project, I ran into a wall in the darkroom and acquired a adorable little gash in the middle of my forehead.
Later on, I continued augmenting my graphic design with other skills. My typeface designs, my photos, my illustrations, and more recently, my source code — sometimes for economy’s sake, other times because I wanted it that way.

caustic biomorph poster: before I learned how to spell exuberant, I made this poster for the release of a typeface I designed as part of neville brody’s fuse project, it’s a “fat face,” but eroded with intentional cellulite and selective liposuction.my 05/01/2025 redesign
printmaking party & crit poster : diazo print : created in macpaint using the bitmap version of the letter gothic font, governed by the one-layer, destructive logic of early software. Many of the highlighted fragments of the text reveal additional messaging, adding inflection to the main text.
