And that’s a wrap! What a wild and wonderful year. Thanks to Dave for snapping this pic at City of Craft earlier this month.
Thanks to everyone for the follows, likes, comments, and unending support this year. Wishing you the best in 2026!
Most illuminating project of 2025?
I had the opportunity to give this signage for Sour Patch Kids a "glow-up" for a special launch event. I used UV-sensitive light to make the typography and illustration glow-in-the-dark!

Coming to the cottage?
I recently had the privilege of restoring this family cottage sign. I rebuilt the original typography in Adobe Illustrator, and then painted it by hand using 1shot paints.
Thanks to Ryan for this opportunity.

I had the privilege of restoring the logo on this vintage Trillium trailer. The original logo had been painted over several times, so I rebuilt the original logo in Adobe Illustrator, and then painted it by hand using 1 Shot paints.
