Hello Universe.

I’ve been away working towards things one may call ‘out of this world’, and with the current state of the world and my confidence in a positive future I can only confirm this affirmation.

I am speaking in terms of The Undesigned, so if you have not, please check out my latest development, a movement of inspiration through the vision of extremely talented individuals.

http://www.theundesigned.com

I’ve posted three new layouts this past week, with more on queue.

The first is a layout for my close friends The Story of Sound. They’ve released a brand new EP which I haven’t been able to stop listening to since they sent me the tracks. I was fortunate enough to brand the entire release, from logo/identity through the design of the album artwork and myspace profile.

Check these guys out! [http://www.myspace.com/thestoryofsound]

The next profile features a former member of the band Settings, Gregory James. I remember meeting Greg a while back while I was playing with VersaEmerge and he came to me in hopes of having a profile designed for his solo project.

Check out Greg and his music at http://www.myspace.com/gregoryjamesmusic

The last profile features photography from my good friend Chris Martin [http://www.photosbychrismartin.com] Check out Mason!

I have several more releases planned for late this week and/or early next, stay tuned and thank you for your continued support which has landed me on Tumblr’s directory of Designers. Check it out if you havent!

I am in exile, a sojourner
A citizen of some other place
All I’ve seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror
But I know, one day we’ll see face to face

Thrice - In Exile

Hello world.

Yesterday, The Undesigned and I got the opportunity to shoot some video of the band Open Windows at North Ave Studios in Orange City, FL.

While the band jammed live, we shoot footage with two 5DMKII bodies that we are very excited to release in the next week or so. This is our first official project with newly appointed videographer Alex Purifoy who is nothing short of an amazing dude.

Stay tuned for more updates as the week rolls on.

At the turn of the new year I was asked to do a profile for a clothing company who I’ve been hearing about for quite some time now but never really took the time to look into.

My friend Mark from Atticus Clothing works closely with Jedidiah Clothing and hired me to design a myspace layout for their profile. I was stoked to take on the opportunity having been familiar with the company, but I had no idea how involved in the world that the company is.

Jedidiah is a humanitarian based fashion brand aspiring to change through creativity and passion.

Taken from jedidiahusa.com:

“Jedidiah is a humanitarian-based fashion brand aspiring to cultivate change through creativity and passion. Since its beginning, we have crafted apparel built on hope in the human spirit; we believe that each individual has the power to bring positive change to the world, and each piece of clothing is created to inspire others to do just that.”

I invite you all to check out all that Jedidiah is a part of, I’m very fortunate to have worked with a company making such an impact. This serves as such inspiration for my own work and also that of The Undesigned.

Stay tuned for more work!
