Don’t call it a comeback. The New York Knicks making history last night in the NBA finals. A little relook at some work I did for Nike Basketball for their NYC flagship with Studio Mega. Love me some NY sports.
Dogs of Japan. I don’t know why, but dog statues are everywhere. It brings me a lot of joy when I see them. Photos taken in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Itoshima, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Narita. Shot on Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-E5, 18mm lens.
Shout out to @centraloffice for bringing me on to make this work for @publiccoastbrewing. I got to combine two of my favorite things - the coast and beer - into a fun collection of apparel and glassware. There’s custom type, fun illustration, a
A little sneak peek of something fun dropping this fall. Nothing I love more than drawing a bunch of little silly guys and weirdos. I can’t wait to announce more details about this project. Enjoy this little preview for now.
Scenes from around Tokyo. Hard to believe this was already a month ago. I love the contrasts of new and old in this city and am continually fascinated by the old storefronts and hidden spaces. I think I could walk around the west side of Tokyo foreve
I partnered with @tarawilsonagency to create some NorCal SF and football inspired graphics for @usnikefootball for an amazing activation they had for this year’s Super Bowl. This was really a dream project for me and I love how the whole set of
Tough loss for the @buffalosabres last night. We fought hard but it didn’t go our way. Time to wallow in some post-season blues, but not for long because the @nfl season will be here before we know it and we’ve always got the @buffalobill
Perhaps in my next life I’ll come back as a wonky rock stack or a perfectly trimmed tree in Itoshima. What a life that would be. How does everyone know how to prune their trees so beautifully? Is there a class, or do people just know?
Excited to share this utility box mural project with the @trailblazers! Catch all the artists’ work around town and mine in SE (locations in post). I spent a lot of time creating a little Portland and SE-inspired world filled with all the weird
A nice little collection of logos for your consideration @logoarchive @logoarchive.now
Itoshima. My time in Itoshima @studiokura was nothing short of profound. Over the course of April I got to see the trees change from pink to green, the fields get planted and harvested, and watched the clouds roll in with the wind. I felt like I was
Takeo Onsen. When in Kyushu for a month why not visit some towns less traveled? Saga is one of the least visited prefectures in Japan, but it has a lot to offer. I went to Takeo sort of on a whim, looking for a place less than 2 hours from Itoshima b
A quick little showcase of the work I made in Itoshima at @studiokura - with some process shots as well. All of the work was inspired by my time in Itoshima and various travels throughout Kyushu. Some of it was planned and some of it happened organic
My sweet KK, happy anniversary! It’s been three wild years of growth, adventure, laughs, love, and working together to make this life of ours worth living. I’m so grateful to have a partner that loves me for me and supports my dreams. You
Last week I took a little side quest to Hiroshima and Kurashiki to visit the Japan Folk Art Toy Museum @gangukan. It was an inspiring trip and surprising to me to see how much I identified with and am artistically influenced by the work in the museum
I made my postcard cover for my exhibition at @studiokura today along with a couple other drawings. I’m calling it “Never Better” because it really is true. Time is going by way too quickly. I’ve been loving living slowly, let
Nagasaki was a real dream. It might be my new favorite city in Japan. I had a lovely time wandering around the city and met some really friendly people. The architecture and culture here are so unique and the spirit of the city is inspiring consideri
It’s been almost a week since I’ve been in Japan. I spent some time in Tokyo and then headed down to Itoshima for my residency @studiokura. I’ve been settling in, getting the lay of the land, and gathering materials and inspiration.
It’s that time right now where the trip is just around the corner but it’s still too early to really pack. Calming my nerves by trying to take it slow and enjoying my time at home while it’s here. I hope all my houseplants make it w
