180 Lunches

Jumping into the next adventure in 2023 with a new logo for a campaign Mike Short will be running for our group.

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Mike Short and Kevin Holcombe on a D&D campaign art zine. It is a collection of the art and storytelling from a 2020-21 campaign we all played in. I dusted off some very old Adobe InDesign skills to work on the book design and got to jump into the world of print ready documents with Ka-Blam, the vendor we used to do the small run.

There is still a limited supply of the books available at Mike’s store and I did a run of holographic logo stickers that come with each book.

In late 2021 I redesigned the Safe as Milk podcast (SAMCast) logo for a fresh look on our Instagram post and hopefully new merch in 2022.

I’ve had the pleasure of doing logo work twice now with my friend, artist, and D&D buddy Mike Short. It never gets old or better said less cool seeing my design work posted alongside his amazing work.

Renders and design work for Short Throw Brewing Co. social media (Instagram) can releases announcements. Amazing can art by Ryan Adams.

Short Throw Brewing Co. is the dream of a great friend who is making great beers. 2019 logo design work. Stop by your local friendly beer store to try the beer or the Short Throw shop to grab a shirt with the logo.

Mad Fusion Brewing is a dream that is becoming reality for a friend in Richmond, Va. I completed this logo design in 2018 prior to their first event in Miami, FL.

Safe as Milk is a bi-weekly podcast I co-host and co-produce with Mike Flynn. After creating the album art I did a run of shirts for the show. If your interested in a shirt hit me up.

Megan and Gabriel and family, I had the opportunity to officiate their wedding in the summer of 2017. In 2018 when Megan made a comment in passing about having an Adventure Time inspired illustration of them I went to work. A month later on her birthday, I gifted a framed copy to the couple.

Golf was never a thing I aspired to do, at some point in my 20’s I briefly considered playing it for the career benefits it might impart. Gross. Many years later I have taken it up with a group of friends who mostly like to drink cheap beer and smoke cigars. The golf is secondary, but when you finally hit a good ball after putting them in the woods all afternoon it feels pretty good. We all suck and if anyone ever gets good they are kicked out forever.

What started as a drawing project in 2014 has morphed into this design thing in 2018. The new mark/logo is an effort to kick start more design reps and more projects this year and beyond.

In 2017 I partnered with The Answer Brewpub (Richmond, VA) to create designs for two beer releases. These pieces were used as a part of their social media efforts to promote the beers:

Grain Sack Napz

An imperial stout in collaboration with 3 Sons Brewing.

#AlternativeHops

A hazy Double IPA with Vic Secret, Summer, and Galaxy hops.

Unused design for a poster I was working on for the greatest washed Dad sport on the planet.

In 2011, Deadspin posted an article describing The PBR Bowl. A nine year tradition wherein a group of guys in Iowa got together at Thanksgiving to play one hand touch football. The rub, your other hand always had a PBR in it.

In June of 2012 I got together with a group of friends on an ungodly hot day to give One Handed Beer Football a try. It was great, completely lived up to the hype. We’ve been chasing a second go at it ever since. This poster is an unfinished attempt to get folks excited to plan, commit and execute on our second game.
