Wilfie and Nell is a popular neighborhood bar/restaurant based on the lower west side of New York City. Design included Branding and Menu design.
Montclair is home to Ruthie's BBQ & Pizza, New Jersey's favorite BBQ joint. With love of great food and all things musical, in particular, the blues, Ruthies is not just a food spot. On the weekends, in particular, its a night out and hosts some of the best live blues you will find in the state.
I have been working with them since designing their logo and branding in collaboration with Ruth almost ten years ago now. Since then I have designed Posters advertising their summer events, Postcards, Calendars, Baseball caps and BBQ sauce packaging.
The work itself borrows heavily from vintage roadside Americana and often pays homage to the work of the legendary 'Hatchshow Print' based in Nashville.
Business card design I created for my Brother who is a Wetplate Photographer living in the Hamilton area of New Jersey. He asked me to create something that carries a vintage sensibility that pays homage to the great calling cards (CDV/Cabinet cards) used by the Photographers during the dawn and birth of the photographic image.
Branding and identity design for the ButterandOil.com.
Resolution is a brand I developed for a zoning consultants company based here in New York City. The Client was very specific in the use of colour and the intent of new york being a key theme in the logo development.
It was loosely inspired by art deco and Fritz Lang's Metropolis. The main idea focused around a runner that would expedite zoning plans across the city. The concept of speed playing importance here.
The logo is unconventional given that it can only have limited application. However, I was given considerable creative freedom as it would only take form on business cards or letter heads.
