I have been learning, struggling, evaluating and experiencing design all my life.
Truly.
I am not someone who went to school to become a designer. I went to art school to learn how to become a better artist. To live with myself and the creative that matures with me on a daily basis. I wanted to learn the history and principles of art and study the artists and designers who made the choice to live by their work.
I am inspired Mark Rothko, Andrew Wyeth and Mike and Doug Starn.

Pete Hobson, Owner of Away Days Brewing Company [ +ex Nike creative ] asked me to design a match up poster he could use in his pub to help celebrate the World Cup. Of course when USA and England come together its a date. Pete and I were talking about my approach to typography and he thought it would be cool to treat the images and poster direction like I do the type direction. Below is our result. A super fun project that was all cut up handbuilt then a final composite to create the final posters.
