Golden Age Collectables in Pike Place Market was the spot for me growing up. I’d spend hours getting lost in comics, movie posters, and robots.�
That place fed the artist in me long before I even knew I’d become one.�
Standing there again felt surreal. The same place that sparked the dream, just a different chapter now.

Big thanks to the kind folks at Golden Age Collectables for letting us shoot in the middle of the rush, and to Sung Park for capturing the moment.

We’re only a few days away from the release of my Black Hockey History Night jersey artwork for the Seattle Kraken 🖤🏒�
My first time designing a hockey jersey, and I’m honored to tell this story through a futuristic vision that celebrates the legacy and impact of Black athletes in the game, paying tribute to trailblazers like Willie O’Ree and those who continue to move the sport forward.

Abstract forms throughout the design represent unity, progress, and the next generation taking the ice. Past, present, and future all in motion.
�You’ll be able to bid on the custom jerseys and grab exclusive merch at the February 28 game.

“Seattle 1882” letterpress poster by Creative Lou | Representing the early beginnings of Seattle’s Central District, one of several hand-pressed works created for Our Story.

Some projects hit different. This one took me right back to my comicbook kid days.

So when Dumi Maraire asked me to create the artwork for his new Seattle Seahawks anthem, “Dark Side,” produced by , I tapped into that inner kid to cook up something special for my hometown Seahawks. 🟦💚🖤⚡️
