CRISPERS

I got to collab with the Team at SGK Toronto and do a custom lettering overhaul of the Canadian classic CRISPERS, to the day you can ask yourself if it’s a cracker or a chip. We wanted something that would feel familiar but would be a distinct, ownable, fresh take.

B17 Psychedelic Buzz

Poster I did for B-17 (Toronto based Band) were born out of a love for heavy psych rock like Spacemen 3, Hawkwind and Black Sabbath as well as classic American fuck-up rock like MC5 and The Stooges. Having shared stages with the likes of Red Kross,Biblical, Simply Saucer and many others their smoking live set is not to be missed.

KAWARTHA BELT SERVICES

Kawartha Belt Services is a small business that focuses on conveyor belt splicing & repairs. They work in a high pressure industrial environment, its a NO BS arena, when a belt goes down work stops and KBS gets them up and running. They needed a brand that reflects that, the icon is a graphic representation on a belt splice itself and paired with the bold durable letterforms gives them a distinct and clear identity that does what it needs to do.

ELECTRIC TIGER

Did this illustration for the pals over at PROVIDENCE PTBO for a sweatshirt that was about strength and a retailer in lockdown for 110 days. I wanted it to be intense and a little gritty, and the stripes have a little hint of lightening bolt to be reflective of PTBOs old nickname the Electric City.
