Project role: illustration, graphic design, laughing
I love jokes. Like most creative people I'm inspired by a lot of things, but if I had to choose just one muse it would be the energy I get from standup comedians' performances and how they carve out their paths as professionals.
Often times I feel like I relate closer to comedians than I do designers and visual artists. The solitude, and the fight to create is something I've lived through and thrived under for sometime. The only constant in my life besides creating art is a gravitation to stand-up comedy as a fan, and later on dabbling in stand-up comedy as an open miker.
Watching Kyle Kinane eek out a comeback win over Marc Maron on @midnight wearing a shirt I designed was one of the happiest nights of my life.
These are some prints I've had the privilege of working on with my favorite comedians and friends alike.
