Probably the project that garnered the most media attention and general excitement from friends and family was this album illustration and design for Commander Chris Hadfield. The album was recorded in space on the International Space Station. It was a hell of a lot of fun to work on! It was pressed on vinyl as well as CD.

I wrote a blog post about the experience of meeting Chris, and working on the album - check that out by following this link.

City and Colour had the idea to make a new poster for every province that he toured to. The first tour we made the posters for would visit 8 provinces, so we made 8 posters. But since then, every time he visits a new province or territory, we add another poster. I've designed 12 so far, only one left! Yukon – Here's looking at you. As soon as City and Colour books a Yukon show we'll finish this series.

In 2020 I launched the skateboard company Atlantic Aire with my buddy Jon. This project has been an absolute dream come true – we've got skateboards, hats, shirts, stickers and more available. Please check it out if skateboarding is your thing.

I have a couple of these for sale on my store - www.atlanticaire.com.com

Designing book covers are one of my favourite gigs to work on -- but they don't come around all that often. Hit me up if you have a book project to chat about.

Toronto's famous Caplanskys restaurants teamed up with East Coast Glow to make something special. I had a blast drawing and designing the box for this fun spirited mustard flower soap.

The 'bear' poster design was awarded an Applied Arts Advertising/Design Award and was be published in their Design Awards Annual. It was the only time I submitted anything for these awards and I am so excited to have been given a positive response. I worked with Wolfe Island Music Festival on their posters and merch fo over a decade.

Neil Young was being presented with an award for his 1970 album After the Gold Rush and the Polaris Music Prize folks asked me to make a poster to commemorate the event. Only 50 copies were printed, Neil was given the first, and the rest sold out in one afternoon online.

To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the St. John's Regatta, CBC radio hired me to create this illustration. A series was printed and given away to listeners. Then, a short time later I was asked to make a new piece to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of On The Go, the hit St. John's based radio show.

I started designing the posters for Granville Green in 2011 and have been excited to be invited back every year since. A repeat customer is as big a compliment as it gets, as far as I'm concerned.

I've been hired to make quite a few Hey Rosetta posters over the years. Some have been screen printed, others were used as tour posters, etc. R.I.P Hey Rosetta, hope to see you back on stage soon.

This was the first time I had done any work for a band from Edmonton. They allowed me to play with some custom painted typography – a lot of fun.

I have designed six Blue Rodeo albums to date - In Our Nature, A Merrie Christmas to You, 1000 Arms, Many A Mile, Live at Massey Hall and their latest record Greatest Hits: Vol. 2. They also hired me to design solo albums for Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy. They've been one of the best clients I ever had, really great to work with.

I posted a blog about working with the band and all the projects we've completed up until it was written.

This is one of my favourite album covers I've ever worked on. Jessica Rhaye is as talented of a graphic designer as she is a singer/songwriter -- she has asked me to illustrate three covers for her music. Collaborating with a fellow designer made for exciting results, usually I work up the illustrations and Jessica takes care of typography and the rest of the album design. Really proud of this project, and the others we've worked on together.

Box Sets are the most exciting design jobs I've tackled. This one for The Irish Descendants to celebrate the band's 35th year, came with 3 LPs, 3 CDs, and 100+ page book, poster, stickers and more. We went ALL OUT, using spot varnish finishes, plus gold foil and embossed details on the box. The book includes over 350 photos and ephemera from the band's incredible journey. I love working on box sets so much -- so if you're in need of one, hit me up. Click the album cover for a preview of all that's included.

Here's a series of illustrations I made for CBC Gem series FARM CRIME -- Farmer's Almanacs were the inspiration, I'm super happy with how this series of six illustrations turned out.

I've created nearly a couple dozen posters for Blue Rodeo and Jim Cuddy's solo shows, t-shirts designs, and the album-art for their latest three records. Love those guys!

You a fan of this show? I sure am. Producers asked me to make a poster and I jumped at the chance.

Wild Rivers are an exciting young Toronto band making waves all over the world. When they headlined Massey Hall for the first time I created this poster to commemorate the occassion as something for the band to sell at the show.

Logo to celebrate 125 years.

I started drawing people in my neighbourhood out walking their dogs. I've made nearly 100 of these portraits. Its been a fun project.

Two CD album collection sets for Stuart McLean's classic show.

The Burning Hell are really good friends of mine and my absolute favourite band. I have also illustrated a bunch of different t-shirts and posters for them, and they even let me design one of their records (Public Library). Love you Burning Hell!

This was by far the most ambitious album artwork project I've ever worked on. Over 400 hours went into concepts, drawing, and then an intense amount of paper cutting and assembling to create these albums. 100 Limited Edition deluxe versions were created with multipage paper-cut booklets glued to the front cover of a gatefold LP jacket. These were all cut out and assembled by me in my home. I was honoured when the Juno Awards nominated this project for their Album Artwork of the Year Award. Myself and Krista went to the big fancy awards show in Edmonton, and while I didn't win it was an immense honour to have a labour of love like this album recognized like it was.

For a decade I had the opportunity to design beer labels for the incredible folks at Upstreet Brewing in PEI. I got involved with them before they opened their doors in 2015 and was always made feel part of the family right up until they closed their doors for the last time in 2025. We'll miss you Upstreet.

I wrote a Blog post about working on this project if you're interested - its a little out of date as I wrote this when I had only been working with them for a year, but it gives an idea of the excitement.

I wrote a blog post about working on art for this festival and my experience travelling to Winnipeg to check it all out in person.

Arts and Crafts' 10th Anniversary album featuring the record labels artists collaborating with each other to make new songs (the two sides fo the X twisting together to make the new letter). I created the cover illustration, but the album layout was designed by Robyn Kotek, A+C's in house designer (she's very good!).

Making band posters is about as fun as it gets, this is one of my favourites from over the years.

I've been working with BAHAMAS for years. I worked up the layouts for four of his albums, as well as posters, tshirts, his website, etc.

TERRA are a local band in my hometown. They poured their heart and soul into making this album and I wanted the artwork to be something special. I went in a different direction than I ever having, using a lot of tape and texture. Its one of my favourite album designs I've ever worked on.

This artwork was cut out of one piece of paper. I came up with the illustration and then had it cut out of one piece of recycled kraft paper. Click enlarge to zoom in and see the paper cuts.

One of the most fun projects I ever worked on. For this box set I designed the box itself, a 150+ page book, patches, posters, stickers, 4 CDs, a DVD, laniards and more. UV coat finished on almost everything. Too fun.

I created a new logo for the Eastern Edge artist run centre as well as some graphics for their annual arts festival.

This was a big one - well over 30 feet tall big.

When I first received a message asking if I'd be into designing something for Jake Clemons I was kind of mind-blown. Jake is a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and I knew opportunities like this don't come along every day. We met over zoom and Jake is as nice a guy as anyone I've ever worked with. I've designed a couple shirts for him so far with more fun projects in the works.

Super funny comic Matt Wright launched his new comedy special on New Years Day 2025. He asked me to design the cover/poster. You can check out the full hour long special on Youtube here.

Super super honoured to be invited to design a series of 8 posters for the Arkells' cross-Canada arena tour.

I was approached by members of the Ferryland community to create a tribute to Newfoundland's most respected and celebrated songwriter, Ron Hynes, who passed away a few years ago. Ron grew up in Ferryland, Newfoundland. With his family’s blessing, I set out to design a piece that Ron’s fans would appreciate. Ron was a master at his craft, he didn’t add spectacle to get folks to pay attention, he kept his music simple, stunning, smart, and poignant. He was an incredible entertainer, but he did it with raw talent, stories, and wit, not bright bursts of pyro or cheesy glittery outfits.

Bannerman Brewing is a hot craft brewery in St. John's (my home town). I designed their logo and branding and had a ton of fun seeing it all come to life. The client wanted to go ultra clean and minimal, which is a look I haven't traditionally used for beer marketing but the results with Bannerman have been very exciting.

When I use to tour with Wintersleep my favourite Toronto venue was always Lee's Palace. The legendary venue opened in the 80s and they approached me about a brand refresh -- I'm super proud of this logo and the chance to get to work with a music venue that has meant so much to me over the years.

NQ magazine has been publishing monthly for decades - I was honoured to be invited to come up with a cover illustration around the theme "language".

Enroute Magazine were featuring Rick Mercer's suggetions on the best places to visit and eat in St. John's -- they asked me to make a fun map to go with the article.

I've made two posters for Hayden. The top one was for his 2023 East Coast tour. The second was inspired by his song "Woody", the poster shows Hayden up all night at home while his cat (Woody) is out having adventures with his friends. Eventually Woody looks back and sees the lights are still on at Hayden's place and he rushes home to be reunited with his buddy. I have copies of both for sale if you're interested. :^)

Hayden and his wife host an annual fundraiser for children with exceptionalities and their caregivers. Its an amazing concert series and I've been very proud to offer my services to the cause every year since it's inception in 2014. Find out more about these events at dreamserenade.ca

First time for everything - I designed a three dimensional trophy for 'thedesigners award' - which is given out once a year to an individual that has helped propel the design industry in Newfoundland to new heights. The trophy has 6 sides, with each letter of the word "design" represented on each side. It balances on one 'point', and the inscription to the winner is on the inside and can only be seen well looking through the award. This was a real challenge and I want to thank Greg Leaman at Leaman Signs for helping figure out how to make it balance properly. He and his team have done a great job manufacturing these each year.

I've worked with a bunch of different breweries including Upstreet (PEI), Spindrift (NS), BigRig (ON), and Port Rexton (NL). Beer design is quickly becoming my favourite type of work, so if you work for a brewery... hit me up. :^)

A couple album covers I've illustrated and designed for the Dardanelles. Great band.

Ian Foster is a Newfoundland based singer-songwriter, working on his latest album I tried to tie in aspects from almost every song in to this cover image. Its one of my favourie covers I've had the chance to work on.

I love Harrow Fair because they want to make all their records look the same. This is such a fun exciting concept for me. We've made two together so far, and when the band make their next one it will look like this, just different colour and photo. Can't wait!
