Thanks Columbus, GA! What a great time at

Great speakers, inspiring content, and a community of talented creatives from all around!

Bringing visibility to the disability community through art.

Is there a more noble mission, especially if you are an artist?

When asked me to redesign the visual identity for Portrait of a Soul, it was a pretty easy "Heck yes!"
of.a.soul connects children and adults with disabilities with local artists to collaboratively create portraits that reflect identity, story and self-expression. Through this creative partnership, we expand representation and champion disability inclusion. Their partnership with connects children and adults with artists to tell these stories.

The Portrait of a Soul vision is this:
A world where individuals with disabilities are represented with dignity, agency and authenticity so that every person is seen and valued on their own terms.

Every person to truly be SEEN. I love that! The identity was created with that in mind.

Thank you so much, and Michelle Blades for the opportunity to work with you on your rebrand. You will forever have an advocate for your organization and your mission.

No better way to create - great day at with my amazing daughter .neary. Drawing veggies and flowers. It’s Spring, y’all.

Who doesn’t love a lobster that plays hoops? No friend of mine!

I illustrated Crusher back when they were called the Red Claws! Love seeing him still in use. Looking tough, - Go Maine! 🦞💚🏀

Still one of my favorite projects, creating the Crusher logo for these guys (originally the Red Claws)🦞

Go Maine!

Hello design world. PANTONE just released the color of the year, Cloud Dancer. What are your thoughts?

From Pantone:
"A Whisper of Tranquility and Peace in a Noisy World
Introducing Pantone Color of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. A billowy white imbued with serenity, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer encourages true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe, making room for innovation.

With its expansive presence, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer invites a space where function and feeling intertwine to build atmospheres of serenity and spaciousness, providing a refuge of visual cleanliness that inspires well-being and lightness.”

Certainly, it does invite the notion of maybe too simple, too clean, and not much of a point of view at all. After all, is it just a flavorless off-white?

I have to say, I dig it. More than anything, I love the notion of it. The idea of quiet and a refuge from the noise feels pretty needed right now.

And being the silly designer-illustrator at heart that I am, I had to create this little dude just for fun. Lighthearted and simple - that’s how I see this color of the year.
