Miscellaneous Design

Who ever gets to design shipping container graphics? This one sits in Frost River Trading Company’s parking lot, acting like an unusually-close-to-the-ground billboard.

Who knows where this came from? I like the energy of the hands and the purple-blue and green colors.

These CDs always have interesting, multipage booklets tucked inside. Alas, to see this one you’ll have to track down the CD.

An ad for a fun client, Nona Amour Wilson, who runs a bunch of antique shows. The Gas & Oil Show offers early and vintage Petroliana (i.e., old car-related stuff — not so much cars themselves, but gas pumps, oil cans, signs, and advertising)

This is a trade show table skirt. LDAR stands for “Leak detection and repair.” These guys use infrared cameras, drones and other technologies to search large industrial complexes for hard-to-detect leaks.

Airport shuttle bus graphics.

Postcard for an evening of rosé tasting at one of the area’s finest restaurants.

Banners for their conference booths.

Just a T-shirt design submitted for the 2000 Grandma’s marathon. The retro typography was fun

A design for a local dock company’s switch engine.

I’m kind of a coffee geek: I roast my own beans, for example. Until Eric Faust brought Duluth Coffee here (and started selling me his green beans), I had to source mine on the internet. Somehow, because of this rack card, I now get to walk behind the counter and pull my own shots (much to the amusement of the café’s actual baristas). Thanks, Eric!

Every so often a musician needs a CD. Sara Thomson is a long-standing client, and I’ve done the packaging for several of her CDs. I think she has really great Kharma and I always hope a little bit rubs off on me when I work on these projects.
