What we do
Graphic Design
Everything comes back to graphic design. Web and print, identity and social media. Color theory, layout and typography, all essential design elements that I’ve trained in and worked with for years. I’ve created entire product campaigns, business cards, logos and identity packages and everything in between,
Web Design
I’ve been creating websites for decades. I’ve created sites large and small, external sites, internal sites and corporate intranets. I’ve created sites for individuals, sites for companies, sites for government agencies. Designing for the web is a huge part of what I do each and every day.
Sports Art
The original purpose of this studio was specifically sports art, but it’s grown into something much more than that. I love the combination of art and sports, and if I had my wish, I would be creating it each and every day. Cards, posters, or promo materials, I just love sports related projects.
Photography
Classically trained in photography, with a four year Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I enjoy both commercial and personal photography. I’ve shot everything from events and weddings to interiors, portraits, sports and more.

Stadium Series
My latest creation combines my love of water colors, baseball, and retro inspired designs. The initial inspiration behind these were old tobacco cards. 1888 Duke "Perilous Occupations" (N86) featured the subject in front of a stylized background, with a large white...
Impact
Back in 1992, Marvel Comics contracted a company called Impact to make them a set of X-Men cards. As a kid, it was one of my favorites and I collected the entire set. I stumbled across them a little while back and while the colors were a little dated, the layout was...
Rookie Signatures
Another commissioned piece, these were printed in 2019 on acetate and sent to Jasson Dominguez through his agent in Florida. He signed and returned the pieces and I hand crafted a set of autographed cards out of them. Below is the mock up of the design, followed by...
2018 MVP
To celebrate Mookie Betts' 2018 MVP run I wanted to come up with something I could potentially print out as a poster. I had seen similar styles but wanted to create something of my own. I really enjoyed the collage on this one, and tried to incorporate a lot of...
