Children's Book

Thai Thai's Very Curly Tail

Local author Nancy Jainchill took this quarantine hiatus as an opportunity to realize a long-held dream: To publish a children's book about the dog she rescued while traveling in Thailand. We worked together (albeit socially distanced) over several months to develop a series of illustrated spreads to convey the exciting and whimsical story of little Thai Thai.

The resulting book is currently available at Golden Notebook in Woodstock, Papertrail and Pause Dog Boutique in Rhinebeck, and Inquiring Minds and Emerge Gallery in Saugerties.

Poster Size

Catskill Interpretive Center

Many decades and the work of dedicated individuals brought this nature center into reality. With a brand new building and a grand opening deadline approaching, the task was not only to convey the activities of the region, but the history of the man whose original concept was the inspiration for the project.

Designers are often called upon to create visuals out of whole cloth, but in this case the wealth of material called for more of an editing down to a laser-sharp focus.

Festival

Garlic Festival
poster and t-shirt design

This annual festival takes place in the Hudson Valley every Autumn, bring tens of thousands to the region. I was aked to submit a poster design to illustrate both the beauty of the valley and the exciting lure of the subject iteself.

I constructed a design that combines the magical Catskill mountains and sky with an almost psychedelic central image of multicolored garlic bulbs radiating light out to the viewer.

Magazine

Designing the GoodLife

This magazine was started several years ago by Cathy McNamara in response to a growing crisis among the young people in a small town in upstate New York. She enlisted local youth to write, draw, photograph and otherwise contribute, and the publication grew.

My job was to take disparate elements from kids ranging from 10 to 20 and to synthesize them into an aesthetically cohesive whole. From fiction to fashion to poetry an d beyond, we were able to make the journal sing with color and variety, yet maintain a consistent look.

Logos

A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say. True enough, the visual symbol (combined with text or on its own) can be a powerful communication tool. Symbols transcend language and boundaries.

This is why they have been used since the beginning of time to convey important messages. Do not leave the development of your logo to the inexperienced. Trust a pro who has been dealing in imagery his whole career.

Photo Retouching

From high-end image refinement on food product packaging to removing the dust and scratches on archival photos over a hundred years old, the field of photo retouching offers its own challenges.

My work ethic is highly detail-oriented and I love getting down to the pixel level in my desire for perfection. My clients always appreciate my dedication and enthusiasm for the projects I undertake.
