Enigma: The Prints of David Lynch

Much like his filmography, David Lynch’s artwork is often dark and surreal, carrying a non-linear or nonsensical narrative. This exhibition presents a selection of prints that David Lynch created at Tandem Press between 1998 and 2021 and centers around his newest series titled Distorted Nude Photogravures. This campaign created an 8-page brochure highlighting the Tandem Press exhibit of Lynch’s work.

Wisconsin Doomed & Stoned Rebrand 2022

The Spaceship.tv presents Wisconsin Doomed & Stoned 2022 on Saturday, November 5 featuring The Well, Mothership, 20 Watt Tombstone, Cold Black River, Druids and Twichard. I screen printed a poster and social media campaign based on the client’s brief. They wanted to move away from their current logo and branding by softening the “stoned” aspect of their brand. The campaign for this year’s event was influenced by Art Nouveau lines and typeset, giving the brand a more accessible, mature and elegant style.

The Century House

Beginning as a small pottery studio in an old historic building, Century House was founded in 1948 and was in the stone building that now houses the gift shop. Over the past 75 years, the business has grown to become a retailer of Scandinavian and Modern furniture, accessories, and gifts. This campaign created an 8-page brochure highlighting the pottery, furniture, and other items available at The Century House.

Severance Title Sequence

Severance is an American science fiction psychological thriller television series created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. The plot follows Mark (Adam Scott), an employee of Lumon Industries who agrees to a "severance" program in which his non-work memories are separated from his work memories. This campaign created a 30 second title sequence highlighting clues from the television show and the names of main character actors.

Third Man Records: How Records Are Made

Third Man Records was launched by Jack White in Detroit, MI in 2001 as an innovator in the world of vinyl records and a boundary pusher in the world of recorded music, aiming to bring tangibility and spontaneity back into the record business and issue releases that leave no doubt in the minds of listeners that music is indeed sacred. This campaign created a 30 second explainer video describing the vinyl record manufacturing process.
