ADRIENNE & ELIZABETH
A few weeks ago my friend Adrienne assisted me on an editorial portrait shoot for The Houston Chronicle. It was a rather overcast and chilly day, but she was a trooper and patiently stood in as I got my lighting all set prior to the subject’s arrival. Of the few frames of Adrienne that I [...]
RANDOM ABSTRACTIONS
The other day I decided to play around with a few photo tools I rarely get the chance to utilize. I toyed with photographing a few things in the office and kitchen before finding inspiration and making some rather abstract imagery. The photo above is one I particularly liked from the set. There is a [...]

NOTES: This little book has been a long time coming. Back in July of 2009 I spent a little over a week exploring Southern Africa and came away with a diverse set of images from the coastal villages near Cape Town to big game hunting [...]
IPHONE ADVENTURE
Every year Libby and I send out a self-designed holiday card using our own skills as graphic artists and photographers. When it came time to produce this year’s card we had some initial trouble coming up with a fresh idea. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of using images taken [...]
STREET ART RIO
After spending a good bit of time in Brasil, Ive noticed that in most cities, namely Rio de Janeiro, street art, whether it be graffiti, wheat pasting, stenciling or another form is thought of and subsequently dealt with a lot differently than it is here in Houston. Of course this differential may be a lot [...]
FRESH DESIGNS
I always enjoyed my old (current until today) business card. It was nice and clean and matched my older web portfolio nicely. It was glossy on both sides and displayed a nice mix of color images in a neat little design on the front with one image and my info on the back. Earlier this [...]
FEATURED
Daniel Fox, founder of Skreened.com contacted me last week and asked me if Libby and I were interested in being Skreened’s featured designers, and after he mentioned I was his favorite, I said, “yes!” The process involved waiting for Libby to return from a business trip and my other shirt to arrive and then setting up this shot. [...]
THISFIGHT TATTOO DESIGN SERIES
This week we designed and launched a new series of clothing called the Tattoo-Stitch series. It’s still in the works, but it will feature a series of 5-7 unique designs centering on traditional sailor tattoo icons presented in a different way. The dashed line pattern is used to resemble a cross-stitch. We loved the idea [...]
SKREENED
I started a design shop over at the wonderful Skreened.com. It’s kind of like CafePress, but way amazing. It was started by an awesome dude named Daniel Fox, who emails users (ala me) back within about an hour of sending in a question! That’s service! The site is also very quality oriented, and only prints [...]
BANZAI!
As per my previous scribblings, my lady has started a new endeavor as a creative baker extraordinaire, focusing specifically on cupcakes. After years of cupcake pins, patches, clothes, stationary, etc I figure it’s only a natural progression. Regardless, the other day she made a batch of sushi cupcakes. I love sushi, and not because the [...]
