FOOD IS GOOD. The core menu at Sagittarius was comfort food with a few fancy twists. It was good, it was happening, and we made sure it stayed that way during a time when North Portland was a desolate place for food lovers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497758536509-B1P4KH1QIM7AHMRNZ24M/image-asset.jpeg Work - BOMB EMPLOYEES When you have the best crew in town, you'd better feature them in the bi-monthly ads that you place in the Mercury! Snapping a phone pic and creating these quickly became one of my favorite tasks and helped me realize I needed to face the fact that designing stuff for the bar was more fun than running it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497755972498-QYAGENMPAPSO7GSI828G/image-asset.jpeg Work - TYPE LOVE In addition to the interior design, signage, menu development, advertising, and vibe-mastering, I painted this typography mural on the east wall of the bar. It was a gas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497756600561-N5G1GH5TLJV375VZZG8Y/image-asset.jpeg Work - STAR SIGN I made three collages of accomplished Sagittarians, a sign known for wild luck, gregarious creativity, and huge appetites. These hung on the wall adjacent the mural above patrons who loved picking out their faves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497827382434-9MCO510ZPAGHI39UN0SX/image-asset.jpeg Work - HAPPY HANDS As an owner/operator, my fingers were on every decision and every job. While everyone loves honest work, my best hours were when I could create these displays, tinker with the phrasing of an ad, or crack a visual joke. These may not look like much to me now, but they got me on the right path, and they kept up the old hand skills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497243936450-EEIOQM0NFH8XR2PQOB4H/645fa738954431.5606a20ece5cf.jpg Work - Neighborhood hangout In 2005, I conceived, designed, built, owned and operated a cocktail bar/restaurant in North Portland. Described as a 'postmodern ski-lodge/bordello for hipsters', Sagittarius was a crazy-cool labor of love, liquor, and laughs for 5 years until we sold it so that we could take some days off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497746454341-BRB70ART1W1BNPZJ1SBO/image-asset.jpeg Work Tees designed for Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks for their 2012 Mirror Traffic tour. I usually shy away from trends, but the stacked tech typeface/missing vowels combo here suggest a codified message, perfect for a band whose lyrics are often described as cryptic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497747498280-Y677XIOYMW4VM24UMGOL/image-asset.jpeg Work Totalled Camaros and pins! pins! pins! for Malkmus and the Jicks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497748106405-QE1LRZU13NP7FGCUTQP6/image-asset.jpeg Work Corin wanted gender-neutral tees.

Punk Go-Go's, by the way, is pretty much the record I'd like to hear from the former Sleater-Kinney force of nature," (Jim Keist, mysanantonio.com)

Kind Words My favorite description of the album art: “It looks like The Go-Go’s Vacation as interpreted by Sex Pistols sleeve designer Jamie Reid. Punk Go-Go’s, by the way, is pretty much the record I’d like to hear from the former Sleater-Kinney force of nature.” -Jim Keist, mysanantonio.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59332fe73e00bec37ebadcbc/1497743494039-0V4H9FYW4GQRSMTU47S4/image-asset.jpeg Work - Neon Thoughts Neon Red Pantone made the packaging jump off the shelves.
