Graphic Arts

I’m not sure I have an identifiable design aesthetic. Some of what I do is inspired, some miscellaneous, some serve a client, a brand, or work as a user interface or user experience element. Most of my work is a playful combination of photography, graphic design and vector graphics. All of it is fun to create.

Beer Labels

My wife and I have been brewing beer since 1995. Our first labels were created with a now extinct application called SuperPaint before moving on to Photoshop. The question is always – which will turn out better the label or the actual beer!

Black Oak Bitter

Description.

Fairly simply lable created by desaturizing a photo of an oak tree and then using Photoshop filters to stylize it. The “K&D” logo appears on all our beer labels. I created it based on an old photograph of Daine and I in front of one of Diane’s quilts.
