The Occupy Poster Project
I was excited to be asked by printing pals The Half and Half to contribute to the Occupy Poster Project, and am even more excited to see the effort has enlisted some pretty serious help – James Victore, Art Chantry, and recent ADC Young Gun Dan Cassaro, to name a few of the occupiers…
The Occupy Poster Project was born out of a love for print. This seemed like the perfect opportunity

Poogan’s Porch
Just finished a fun redesign for a Charleston staple…
Tucked away on charming Queen Street, Poogan’s Porch is one of Charleston’s oldest independent culinary establishments, with a fresh approach to Lowcountry cuisine. Recognized by Martha Stewart Living, Wine Spectator and The Travel Channel, this beautifully restored Victorian house is the perfect southern spot for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. Since opening in 1976, Poogan’s Porch has been a favorite of well-known celebrities, politicians, tourists and locals

Charleston Symphony Orchestra
As the largest full-time performing arts organization in South Carolina, the Charleston Symphony Orchestra is a central component in the rich cultural foundation of the region. The CSO attracts an audience of over 100,000 people annually and has been a partner in weaving the cultural fabric of the City of Charleston since 1936.

Visualive
Every now and then you get approached by a new client with a business idea so good, all you can think is “why hasn’t this been done already?” Such was the case when the fellas at Visualive got in touch looking for an identity. In a nutshell, Visualive is a network of HDTVs located in businesses and public spaces around Charleston, all connected to a central interface – the Visualive.tv website. Think…

Ocean Surf Shop
As somebody who surfs every chance he can get (when Charleston manages to get a couple waves larger than rowboat wake), I was stoked to team up with Folly Beach’s Ocean Surf Shop on a rebrand.
A unique boutique for the board-riding super-freak, Ocean Surf Shop has all of the beach toys, gear and expert advice you’ll need to get on to the beach and into the waves.
Some cool stuff coming…

I do.
A couple months ago I got hitched. Aside from celebrating the beginning of a lifelong adventure with my best friend (I’d be remiss to not mention the obvious), the occasion also gave me the rare chance to be my own client. Much to my
fiance’swife’s credit, she handed over full creative control of our invitations, saying simply “I’m sure I’ll love whatever you come up with.”As much as it might have been fun to…

Celadon
Just wrapped up a new identity and website for Celadon – an in-the-know, vintage-modern-rustic-chic (I just made that up) home furnishings & accessories store in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, right over the bridge from downtown Charleston. They’ve been around since 1994 and have quite a following, so chances are good most of you Charlestonians are familiar (if not lounging on a Celadon purchase as we speak), but if you’re not, and the words…

Jay Fletcher’s Charleston
About a year ago I was approached by London-based publisher Cicada and asked to represent Charleston in their upcoming guidebook “Graphic USA.” The book is a followup to their first book, “Graphic Europe,” comprised of 31 chapters written & illustrated by 31 designers in various European cities. Each designer pens an introductory page, then a slew of personal “best of” picks – restaurants, bars, shopping, cultural events, green…

Fun with Photoshop.
Recently wrapped up a rip-roarin’ fun project for the College of Charleston. There’s much more to it than what’s pictured above (I’ve got some of the final designed, printed & bound work in my ever-growing “photograph for site update” pile), but the entire project started with the basic idea of incorporating “inspirational buzz words” into photographs from around the college, and then using the resulting photo-illustrations as basic building blocks…

Like a phoenix from the ashes…
When a buddy of mine said he and a friend were resuscitating The Village Tavern and asked if I’d like to design a couple t-shirts for the cause, I immediately jumped on board. For those of you who weren’t around or don’t remember, The Village Tavern over in Mt. Pleasant (South Carolina, for all you non-local readers… hi Grandma!) was a popular live-music-focused watering hole which died an unfortunately slow death and…

Do the Drue.
Flew up to Ohio this past weekend for good buddy and fellow designer Drue Dixon’s bachelor party, and decided to put together a batch of commemorative t-shirts for everybody to throw up on. (Just kidding… that wasn’t the plan, nor did it actually happen. Or did it? I suppose what happens in Columbus stays in Columbus.)

Hors Categorie.
A few weeks ago I was asked by screenprinting duo extraordinaire The Half and Half to join them for their weekly “Creative Tuesdays” project. Each week they provide a different designer with a set of specs (paper stock, trim size, and ink colors) and then let that designer create whatever their heart desires, within those set guidelines, to be turned into a batch of limited edition prints. As both a cyclist and a…

Get bendy for a good cause.
Enjoyed teaming up with Louie’s Kids again, this time on the poster for their 2010 Yoga Marathon…
Want to join hundreds of other devoted yogi’s for an afternoon of down dogs, headstands or mountain poses in one of Charleston, South Carolina’s most historic parks all the while raising money for a children’s charity? The Yoga Marathon benefiting Louie’s Kids is readying for their 7th year as the region’s most

Charleston Peace One Day Festival 2010.
Just finished a batch of limited edition silkscreened posters and t-shirts for this year’s Charleston Peace One Day Festival. The prints are all signed & numbered, 18″ x 24″ with blue, brown, and metallic copper inks on 100 lb. natural stock. As usual, a big thanks to The Half and Half for a spot-on printing job. The shirts are 2-color on American Apparel t’s. All will be for sale…

Go Cougars!
I really can’t say enough nice things about the crew over at College of Charleston. They’re always a pleasure to join forces with. We just finished this alumni donations self-mailer – the piece arrives folded up onto itself, then unfolds like a brochure to reveal a perforated envelope for the donor to fill out and return. The entire “circle of maroon students” panel serves as the return envelop flap,…
