New Work: Sole DXB x Nike Running

I'm proud to be a part of the Sole DXB event in Dubai, UAE (a sneaker summit and celebration of sneaker culture, art, music and film). I will have 25 pieces from my MAX100 series on display and for sale in their gallery and also was commissioned to create 4 custom illustrations around 4 categories of Nike Running. 

New Work: Tykoon

I recently completed a set of icons, illustrations and badges for Tykoon. Tykoon is a great web app that allows kids to learn how to understand, save and manage money through online tools. The style needed to be simple and clean enough to work for older kids in their early teens, but also have some playfulness and energy and able to work for younger kids. Thanks to Mark, Sanem and the team for the great collaboration on such a cool product. 

New Work: Sole DXB

I have a very cool opportunity coming up to participate in the Sole DXB sneaker summit in Dubai in late April (yes, that Dubai...I can't believe it either). Sole DXB will have tons of music, art and of course, sneakers. I'm really excited to particate and will be signing some MAX100 books and displaying some artwork as well as creating a few pieces to be displayed in their gallery space. I'm also collaborating with the Sole DXB creative team on an exhibit that I can share more details about at a later date.

The Sole DXB guys asked me to do some explorations that could potentially set some of the tone of the event. I did some quick pieces and although these were not quite what they were after, I had a blast working on them and wanted to share. Look for more specific info on Sole DXB soon.

What's Next

At this point, that's both a statement and a question. My last day at my current position of Creative Director at Hawse Design will be a week from today. I'm moving on to pursue some exciting opportunities and am very hopeful for what's next. I'll be working on some design and illustration projects, as well as a few speaking opportunities lined up this Spring and Summer and a MAX100 related project or two that I will be sharing more of soon.

I'm grateful for all the opportunities I've been given and particularly the team that I've had the privilege of working with at Hawse Design. It's a strange mixture of hope and fear, but somehow, impossibly, feels right. I'll have more updates very soon.
