RMXTV
RMX is a series of collaborative art projects and workshops that I have curated for over twenty years. This event, hosted by the Museum of Brisbane, featured 23 artists following a series of prompts to transform the gallery over the course of a month. I selected, briefed and scheduled the artists, and designed the space, branding and marketing materials. I also produced a four hour video featuring my own animation, music and voice over to deliver the prompts and entertain the artists and audience. Throughout the project I edited photos and timelapse videos daily. All of this work was completed remotely from Los Angeles. See more RMX Projects here.

I developed the visual campaign and packaging for the launch of the new Bucardo sports band for the Apple watch. Working with a minimal budget during the pandemic, I was able to produce a full range of quality promotional materials and a slick packaging solution that was easy to construct without glue.

Legacy Grip
To brand their vehicles and production gear, I designed
this identity for a Los Angeles based grip company. The logo
embodies strength, durability and reliability.
Silver Skate Seventies
For this never-before-published collection of Hugh Holland’s black-and-white photographs documenting young Californian skateboarders, I designed a title reminscent of popular 70’s music posters. The special edition is housed in a box similar to an original Agfa photographic paper package complete with a sticker sheet full of graphic references to the book’s content. I retouched many of the images to remove dust, scratches and damage that had occurred over time.

Tim Biskup - Tree of Life
For California artist Tim Biskup's first career-spanning book, the layout required simple colors and spacious arangements to compliment the complexity of the work. The narrative at the end of the book provided an opportunity to be typographically playful. Several of the early works required retouching to remove dust and scratches.

Best In Show
Dolly Faibyshev's images from Dog Shows focus on the unique—and often humorous—relationship between dogs and their handlers. Aside from carefully pairing the images for each page throught the book, I developed an elegant ribbon like type solution for the title and end pages.

Limited Edition
This diverse collection of art furniture required a minimal layout and clean graphic approach. The cover features the title rendered as a piece of one off furniture, and is based on the custom typeface I developed for titles and quotes throughout the book.

Fabrique
Fabrique was an ongoing series of free experimental musical events hosted by the Brisbane Powerhouse and curated by Lawrence English of Room40. The promotional materials I designed for each event reflect the creativity and experimentation on offer at each event. The logo I developed reflects the twisted cables plugged into equipment at an electronic music event.

Jordan Ultimate Gift of Flight
It was a logical decision to use University Blue in the design of the packaging for the Jordan Ultimate Gift of Flight pack. The pixelated elephant print spot varnish pattern comes from the AJXX9.
