Marked OKC
Saturday, March 20th, 2010I recently designed some postcards and posters promoting Marked, an incredible upcoming Spero Project event in OKC. As you can see, the event features a lot of very cool and worthwhile happenings. Art show, social justice classes, Waterdeep concert, and more! It is definitely worth checking out! Also, I was honored to discover that flickrdesign.com came across the poster and it is now featured on their website!

Olympics Visual Language, Pt. 1
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Hopefully you’ve been watching & enjoying the Winter Olympics! One thing that has caught my eye is the overall visual style and look of the Games- the unifying pieces- the colors, background designs, that have been present in all of the events and tie together the looks of the variety of sports featured in Vancouver. Developing the iconic look of the Olympic Games is a tall order. The designers not only have to reflect the electric feel of the sports, but also reflect the spirit of the host city.
The VANOC website says of the identity:
“The Vancouver 2010 graphic identity seeks to unify and beautify the Games with a consistent look and feel throughout all its environments and communications… The country’s multiculturalism inspires Vancouver 2010 to portray transformation and fusion as a major theme within the graphic identity. It also represents balance and connections between natural and urban environments, reflecting how Canadians live in and contribute to both surroundings… Design representations of water and vegetation are incorporated frequently and serve as a symbol of nature’s nourishing and rejuvenating powers. Emotive, dynamic athlete imagery captures the heroism and beauty of sport.”

Snow Day!
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Sometimes the weather around here can be extreme! This is one of those times! Since I’ve been snowed in for the past 2 days, I’ve recently taken off on foot to capture the atmosphere of the surrounding area! Here are a few of my favorites:
I also decided to be productive and did a massive update in the photography section of the website with some of my favorite shots from my trip to Europe last year! Here are just a few of the examples you can see on the photography page..
This one was overlooking the city of Paris from.. you guessed it, the Eiffel Tower! They had these beautifully ornate telescopes on the observation deck for viewing the city, and I loved them! With the city lights and reflections from the bronze telescope, this series was one of my favorites. It gives you a feel for the city, and I feel the same way when I look at them now as I did when I was standing on the Eiffel Tower..
This was taken at the Louvre… how can I even describe this place? I guess I’ll let the pictures speak for me 
We only had a few hours at the Louvre, and I don’t even think that I could have fully discovered all of the magnificent, beautiful and historical pieces housed there in a week..
A picture of the facade of the Duomo in Florence. Epic.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Despite the freak snowstorm that dumped 14″ around the center of Oklahoma on Christmas Eve and created a gridlock on all major highways in the area for several days, this was a good Christmas! This season has been great.. I recently participated in a huge artist collaborative based around the season and themes of Advent called Adventus. The show featured brand new paintings, poetry & live music (like this song written by my friend Ben Hill) focused around the season of Advent and created specifically for the event. Here’s the piece that I contributed:
part of anticipating Christ’s birth makes me think of this style of religious icons of the Mother and Child used for mediation from the Byzantine era. The goal of the artwork of this time period was for the artist to paint as closely as possible to the same style as that of their contemporaries. Some people believed this came from the fact that the apostle Luke was a painter and supposedly painted a portrait of Mary later in her life, and that these artists wanted that visual accuracy, so they let very little artistic interpretation influence their work, but relied more on upholding what had been done before.
This is such a cool concept to me because all of these artists’ goal was to correctly depict Christ. Like Paul says, “follow my example as I follow the example of Christ”…
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Colossians 1:18-20
