Infinite Monkey Edits

I made some logo designs for a new business my cohort is starting called Infinite Monkey Edits. I believe it is a manuscript editing service. Aren't these pretty sweet? We were going for old school, something similar to letterpress. If I had more time to make another, I think I would include a ton of filigree. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow to whip one up. Pretty cool nonetheless!

Any Other Branch

My painting Big Pinkie has been chosen as cover art for Any Other Branch, a book of poetry by Ivy Page due to come out this March from Salmon Poetry. I'm pretty stoked.  Despite the fact I had no input over the layout of the cover, I am pretty happy Big Pinkie made an appearance. Pretty cool! Here is the full cover.



OVS Latest Issue & Dead White Men.

I'd totally forgotten to update about all the good things going on lately. So - here we go!

OVS put out our latest issue (issue 8! This thing's been going on for a while!) and will be showing it off at the upcoming AWP (Association of Writers  & Writer Programming) Conference in Boston the beginning of March. Here is a preview of the cover, art by Eleanor Leonne-Bennett.

Also on the docket my friends are starting up a new Anthology, which I got to make the promo materials for. It's called the (Dead) White Men Anthology, and as you would guess I had great fun playing around with this one.  I created a handout and the masthead for the website. Pretty fun.



So here you can see J.D. Salinger, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, E.A. Poe, and John Steinbeck (a random selection). I should do more of this, I love sketch work.

And lastly, I finally figured out my life long theme song if I had the choice. This is it.

Happy Monday people.
