RECENT WORK
Beautiful Swear Words
A Tumblr showcasing an ongoing series of hand-drawn typographic profanities – combining truth, beauty, art, and lulz.
I draw each Beautiful Swear Word by hand with black ink, blue pencil, and white-out on paper. Then I scan them in to Photoshop for color.
Cartoon Network's Adult Swim aired a commercial about Beautiful Swear Words last year. The site was also featured by Gizmodo, Boing Boing, Swiss Miss, The Bay Citizen, etc. etc. etc. (etc.)

McSweeney's – The Hens
Design, typography, and illustration for the cover of a Roddy Doyle short story for the McSweeney’s iOS App. The story was about neighbors comically and violently stealing one another’s hens, so I drew the cover to look like hens had just been snatched off the screen. Art Director: Walter Green.
