Makitiki Summer Pop-up

Made some little tropical doodles to be placed on the menus of the MAKITKI summer pop-up restaurant down at NYC's South Street Seaport. I always enjoy these little jobs since they are nice break from the balancing act of my text heavy show posters and the 'screaming into the void' aspect of my personal work.

The pop-up is located at 19 Fulton Street and is open Wed - Thurs: 3-9pm Fri - Sat: 12-11pm and Sun: 12-9pm.

 

Sunsets and Flying Saucers

There are a couple of new t-shirts floating around in the world with my work on them as of this week. First up, here's the one I did for the band, Earnhardt, a couple months ago. Thanks again to my bud, Adam, for asking me to do these for the band.

Next up, here's the X-Files inspired one I recently did for all the baristas (myself included) at Gimme! Coffee, and a small batch for some devoted customers. This one has a little soft spot in my heart. In 2014 I did a quick a-frame drawing of the cappuccino cup and saucer flying over the trees in place of the UFO from the famous "I want to believe" poster that hangs in Agent Fox Mulder's office. Some people really really loved this one and have been asking about a t-shirt of it since then. It took 2 years but we finally whipped some up for them, with some minor adjustments to the original drawing. They are available for $25 at the Gimme! Coffee on Lorimer St. Sizes range from S-L. A big thanks to Pete's Print Shop for these.

From 95 The Met to Earnhardt

Recent t-shirt design I whipped up for the band, Earnhardt. A while back, the lead singer of the band was a regular at the coffee shop I work at and spoke to me about a t-shirt I was wearing. It had a hot pink and blue logo of the radio station, 95 The Met, which I grew up listening to. Turned out he was from a town a short drive away from where I grew up and was curious if I actually knew the station. Well, that sealed the deal, we've had some beers since then, he's helped me assemble some stuff for my apartment and I've been to some of his shows. So, when the time came for a t-shirt design, how could I say no? Him and the band had a pretty solid idea for the design and the color scheme so we messed around with some sketches and then quickly moved into the final and that was that. Thanks to Adam for asking me to do this. Long live the southern tier!
