2015 Silver Addy
Last night I was honored to win a Silver Addy in the Sales Promotion – Campaign division for my work on Waddell’s Brewing Co. Woohoo!
Waddell’s Brewpub – Burgers & Brew :30
My old comrades at Quinn Group did a good job with this new TV spot for one of my favorite design clients Waddell’s Brewpub & Grille.
Happy Holidays!!!
Now On Tap Posters
Mt. Spokane Winter Ale
Here’s a new tap handle I designed for Waddell’s Brewing Co.
3D Parallax Effect
Just messing around with Adobe After Effects. This is a pretty cool parallax technique to give your photographs some depth when using them in TV production. The cheesy lens flare is just for fun. Video below.
The Healing Lodge
New responsive website created for The Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations. A great organization doing good things.
Sweet Ride Bikes
One of my best, good friends restores and fixes old bikes. He needed a logo and told me the following:
I want a pig, riding a hipster/fixie bike with no hands, texting on an iPhone with earbuds. You know, he’s kind of a bad ass pig, texting his sow.
You got it dude.
Take a Hike
It’s always fun when I can use some of my climbing & hiking photography in my design work. This is the front page of the Huckleberry’s Natural News & Savings for June, 2014. It’s an 8 page savings guide that we do every month. The photo is from a backpacking trip I took in Montana. I will not disclose the exact location 😉
Around the World in 80 Beers
Here’s a fun graphic I made for today’s Huckleberry’s ad. Their wine & beer department has a beer club featuring beers from around the world.
Around the World in 80 Beers
So you want to be a famous beer connoisseur…To become a member of the Huckleberry’s “Around the World in 80 Beers” club, all you’ve got to do is grab a beer card from Lou Anne or Drew, and start purchasing the designated brews; don’t forget to save the bar code! What you’ll get in return: bragging rights, fun times, and a t-shirt that cannot be purchased-only earned! Happy exploring.
Waddell’s Brewpub & Grille
I’ve been fortunate to work closely with the owner of Waddell’s on his new restaurant in North Spokane, Waddell’s Brewpub & Grille. After initial meetings it was determined that we needed to really bring back the legend of Rube Waddell, a remarkably dominant strikeout pitcher from the early 1900’s. Stories and newspaper clippings tell a wild tale of this man.
Waddell’s on- and off-field exploits became instant legends.
Waddell was so unpredictable, and into fire fighting, that a myth was circulated that he had a habit of leaving the dugout in the middle of games to follow passing fire trucks to fires.
He performed as an alligator wrestler in the offseason.
Fastballs, fishing, fire fighting, females and firewater – all were favorite pasttimes of Rube Waddell. And, not necessarily in that order – as long as it added up to fun.
The restaurant, brewery, beer logos, and website are all rooted in these stories and they were a blast to research and illustrate.
Lucky Jack Orchards
Another great logo project, this time for Lucky Jack Orchards, north of Wenatchee, WA.
The new owners of Lucky Badger Orchards wanted to honor their father Jack, who had founded the orchard with a partner in the 60’s, so they changed the name to fit. Jack was a Green Beret in the Army and the family has a history of military service. A Jack of Hearts playing card was used as the basis of the logo (and business cards), swapping the hearts for apples and a green beret for the Jack.

Mansfield Connection
Spokane Valley Public Works hired me to create some renderings of an upcoming street connection project. The goal of the renderings are to show the public what is being planned, which is to tear down the apartment building and to finally make Mansfield a through street.
Drag the sliders to see before and after.
Happy 1st Birthday James
Shanny the Nanny
Today is our nanny, Shannon‘s, last day. She’s not only in her third trimester but she’s moving to Boise with her husband!
She has been a wonderful addition to our family and we will miss her greatly. Our little boy James was very lucky to have her in his life for his first year.
As a going away present, my wife wrote a beautiful note and then gave me links to some of Shannon’s best instagram photos of our little boy. I put it all together and let’s just say there were some tears shed this morning when I gave it to her.
Dear Shannon,
You were my PARENT when my mommy and daddy could not be with me.
You were my TEACHER by reading me stories and showing me life lessons.
You were my BEST FRIEND day after day by playing with me and making me laugh.
Your positive influence on the first year of my life will never be forgotten.
Thank you for being the best nanny ever!
I will miss you.
Love, James

I recently finished a new responsive website for Uncle Dan’s. They make really good salad dressing and dip mixes. Responsive web design is a way of making a single website that works effectively on both desktop browsers and the myriad of mobile devices on the market.
