Thank You Cards Update
Here are some photos of the letterpressed version of the thank you card I designed recently for Natalie Slater. Natalie printed each card by hand at a printing press in Tulsa, and I'm pleased that they turned out so well. You can pick up a card at her gallery show, The Mother Road Revisited, in Tulsa, OK on April 5th. Otherwise, we will be making the cards available for purchase online somehow, after the show.

Route 66 Map
I am currently working on freelance projects for an upcoming gallery show in Tulsa by the photographer and printmaker, Natalie Slater. This past summer, Natalie travelled the old Route 66 from Illinois to California, in an old Shasta camper, with a bunch of old postcards and photographs from the 1930's-50's and reshot them from the same exact locations for her project, The Mother Road Revisited. And that's only the project in a nutshell.
The gallery show will contain the old and new photos, screen prints, hand-made memorabilia, and even more surprises. And I'm being vague on purpose, you guys. There will be more surprises, and it will be really rad.
That being said, there were a number of things for the show that needed illustratin', so she asked me. Along with some other hip illustrated additions to the show, (that I may share later), Natalie asked me to create a map of the route that could be displayed in the gallery.
Below are some photos of the nearly finished map. All in all it is an 8'x4' zoomed in crop of the map to focus on the states that route runs through. You may also notice, that the route is shown by an illuminated dotted line. The map still needs to be framed, and I think that is going to do a lot for the piece. It's so big, you guys!
Anyway, check out the links to learn more about Natalie and her project. There is so much more to it than I've covered in this post. And if you are in the area, or even if you aren't yet, come to the show in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 5th!

New Website is Up!
You guys, my new website is finally up and running... There's a few things I'm still playing with, but I think it represents me pretty well so far. I also had a ton of help from friends when trying to make this thing, especially Joel Martinez, Natalie Slater, and Jon Beers, and photo credit to Tyson Banks. Much thanks to my homies.
