I’ve begun a happy relationship with the amazing innovators and passionate coffee-lovers of Slayer Espresso. This is a glimpse into the first product of that connection. They asked me to create a one-off t-shirt for their new product, Slayer Steam. A shirt that people would want to buy. Something secretive, subversive, something so very Slayer.

Process — The Blue Carpet Club
As The Blue Carpet Club came to me for a logo and brand guidelines, they described themselves this way:
The Blue Carpet Club is hipster, handcrafted, and confident. It’s exclusive and personal, but friendly and unpretentious. It’s quirky, with a flair for the absurd. It romanticises the old and vintage, but lives in the present and embraces the future. Its design should raise as many questions as answers, and should intrigue people to want to know more.

Where I Go
“In honor of radio station KEXP’s “Turn It Up!” benefit, DK was commissioned to make a project honoring the local music scene. The event generated proceeds for the treasured non-profit radio organization as they moved into a new home in Seattle Center.
DK was one of many creative agencies involved, and also the only one foolhardy enough to produce a full-fledged music video in such a short time span. We created “Where I Go” — a frenetic comic-book-noir short set to the moody jams of Seattle surf goths La Luz.”
I alluded to this project previously. While the art direction changed and the typography I created was not used, I got to be on set and help with some initial storyline development and various other art department needs for this video.

Faire un Noeud
My friend, Chris Clappe has been making cools things lately. He began with plant hangers and macrame wall hangings but has since ventured into other objects like plants stands, unconventional vases, paper weights, coasters and other such house decor items. This was an experimental piece that we turned into a necklace for fun. I shot these photos of Tyler Johnson on 35mm film.
