There will be an art show that I'm participating in at Furrows release party on Feb 26th.

A Poster for Priester

I created a poster yesterday for a Mixer Event for Mel! This was a quick project meant to attract a younger crowd than usual.

Bright! yellow & grey Logo Design

I've completed a logo this week!

A woman in town is starting up her new business, and has a bright future. There's going to be a launch party later on in June, but if you're in the Jackson area, be looking for this logo.

I have to say.. I'm a fan of this color combo. And happy with the outcome!

You can see them on Facebook too!

Second Chance Prom

I was very honored to be a part of this project. I'd been talking with Darren of Creative Distillery for a while. We frequently bounce ideas off one another just to have another critical design eye with an opinion, and since he's been freelancing for a long time now, he's a valuable teacher for me. He asked me to be a part of designing a poster and logo for this event.

The thing is, is that you may have heard of it. It was put on by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition, and was in reaction to a high school banning same sex couples from attending the prom. They wanted to throw a prom for everyone, and everyone was invited. Several high profile individuals were involved such as Lance Bass, Green Day, Questlove, Cat Cora, and more. Ellen tweeted about it!!

It happened and was a great success! I was able to attend and see that... yes, it was in fact just like a regular prom. I felt like I was in high school again!








thanks to Mister Nick, my date to the prom, for the photos.

Mel Priester for Hinds County Court Judge

I somehow collected an awesome client, a really genuine and cool dude running for Judge of Hinds County, Mississippi.

I've created a few projects so far, a post card and helped get some of their branding going, but mainly I have created a website. Some of the photography I also shot. They were taken around downtown Jackson. I'm happy with how professional and clean it has turned out. But all of those details wouldn't be quite as perfect without programming help from my friend Gordon Marshall Garretson.

A Disney family vacation Travel Agent

I made this connection through twitter. My best friend from high school is obsessed with Disney (@vintagedisney), and was friends with @TripsByManny on twitter. She recommended me when he was needing a logo.



Here is what we came up with.

Big Mamoo's Cafe

I'm pretty excited about this Logo. In some ways it's a sin against design school ... too many colors, large mark, textured writing. etc. But I tend to like to break the rules a little and be a little silly.

I was asked to illustrate a cow. A girl cow with wings, and an apron. I accepted the job and I have taken quite a liking to Big Mamoo! This cafe is in a small town in Georgia near Savannah. I'm definitely going to visit someday. I'm willing to bet that it's delicious as well!

Crossroads Film Festival, Jackson MS

I was a part of the planning committee and Art crew for Crossroads this year. I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of work! Especially near the end. I wasn't able to attend the festival, but I know it was a success in many ways. The theme was centered around the movie 2010 : the year we make contact. It was the sequal to the popular movie, 2001 : a space odyssey. We attempted to create something that was very retro - sci-fi looking.
Here are some samples of the work I did for the festival.

Some samples of screens that cycled on the big screen between each movie showing.
