Some Past Work: The Music Famers Almanac

Found some fun stuff from a few years back. I designed and produced a digest size magazine called The Music Farmers Almanac for a local music venue in downtown Charleston. Each issue was about 32 pages chock full of editorial about bands and concert dates. One of the fun aspects of this particular title was that I designed all of the ads which was a lot of fun. Since the audience was about 21-30 it gave me a lot of freedom to play.

This double page ad won Best of Show at the Addys which was great because there was zero budget and I literally created it in about an hour. My publisher came up with the text and I did the illustrations.


I also did the illustrations for this ad for Arizona Bar & Grill.


Arizona Bar & Grill's new chef's name was Dave. Hence, "Dave on the range."


Just something fun I did with available textures. Some of the floral patterns were from the vest I was wearing that day.
