Post Club

For the past year now, I’ve been working on a top-secret project in the confines of my studio - plugging away, fueled by coffee, spending spare moments between client work, slowly gaining a larger picture of where I was headed. Now, the time is right, and things are finally coming together.

Thanks for asking. The project is called Post Club, and it’s a postcard subscription service. The idea is that you sign up for a subscription, and you receive artsy/designy postcards in the mail each month. Who doesn’t love getting mail? Each postcard will be of limited edition, and printed to the highest quality standards, utilizing various methods such as screenprint and letterpress. Basically, small format art prints.

Those are the only beans I’ll spill for now, even though I can hardly contain my excitement. Follow along on Twitter or join the email list at the HQ (PostClubHQ.com).

Oh - I’ve also got stickers. So if you happen to run into me, just let me know if you want some.  

Benefit Concert Poster

I really enjoyed working on this poster for an upcoming charity benefit concert here in Calgary.

Untitled Art Society

From time to time, I design postcards for the shows at Untitled Art Society. I’ve done quite a few over the past couple of years, and I love working on them because I usually get to be pretty experimental. 

The shows are also really good, so if you’re in Calgary, you should definitely check them out. uascalgary.org

Merry Christmas from the whole family.

Hey pals, It’s that time of year again. Yes, that one.

I’m hosting a little giveaway on my Facebook page. All you have to do is head over there and leave a Christmas Greeting as a comment sometime before Christmas. Ready? Go!

My Own Worst Client

I’m getting married in May, so naturally I’ve gone overboard with the task of designing all the print & web materials for the wedding. It’s been a great deal of fun, but has also been a lesson in self-inflicted pain.

Secret Santa Miniatures

This is my design for Untitled Art Society’s upcoming member’s show, Secret Santa Miniatures. I know that it’s still a while until Christmas, so you may or may not be in the mood for this sort of imagery quite yet, but it snowed in Calgary today, and I’ve been listening to Sufjan Stevens’ Christmas album, so this feels appropriate. Yep, super dork.

Outlaws of Ravenhurst!

Tonight is a big night for the Outlaws of Ravenhurst, as they celebrate the launch of their first album “Book 1.” The Outlaws funded their project with Kickstarter, and have been awaiting the launch of this album for some 500 years.

I had the pleasure of working on the graphic design of this album, and took care of typography, layout etc, while working with some awesome original paintings by Maria Dillmann.

The release party is tonight at the Palomino in Calgary with Thwomp and Belltower. Check out the Facebook event here.

The latest something something

Lately I’ve been up to my ears with client work (in a good way) and haven’t had much time for personal projects. Last night I decided to stay late and finally get cracking on a project I’d been planning in my head for the past few months. I’ll just give you a tease for now, but I promise I’ll share some more soon.
