In July, I introduced a very fun point-and-shoot camera--the Porchlight Design Co. 35mm Film Camera. The main design aspect of the project was designing the box and the instructions inside. Here's a look at the camera!  Next, a poster design for the Red Clay Strays' sold out show at the Showbox here in Seattle. Using the band's old bus and trailer as inspiration, I put them on a desert road towards Seattle for this three-color print. The masterful poster printing was done here in Seattle by Broken Press. Like the show, the poster is also sold out.  My friends at Westland Distillery came up with a great idea for a collaboration between Porchlight Design Co. and Westland. We've worked together in the past and I've designed a number of things for them, so I was immediately on board. They even liked my barrel-thief-as-an-actual-thief idea! The capsule collection included the "Westland Whiskey Mug", a Barrel Thief tee, a baseball-inspired tee (due to the distillery's close proximity to the Mariners' stadium) and a Barrel Thief ballcap. I then went down to the distillery to photograph it. The ballcap and mug were manufactured with Porchlight Supply, the offshoot that helps create merch for other small (and big) businesses. The tees were printed by Ink Knife Press here in Seattle.  My screen printed poster design for the wonderful Lake Street Dive. This poster was for their outdoor show in Woodinville, Washington at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery. While this poster is now long gone, you can still buy a different shirt design I created for them right here. The masterful poster printing was done here in Seattle by Broken Press.  I also got to design a collaboration between the Epilepsy Foundation and the Seattle Mariners. This tee was sold to raise money for the foundation. The design is a play on teamwork and the M's signature home-run-celebration-trident.  July was a big month in general, as I got married. To celebrate, my wife and I spent a week in the South of France. We visited some of my family in Aix-en-Provence, went to Arles and Marseille and plenty of places in between. I brought my 35mm and digital camera and completed an entry in the Porchlight Photo Journal entitled "South of France on 35mm Film". You can see the entire entry and all the photos here, but a few favorites are below.  Using the branding I created for Puffin Pediatrics, I designed a run of adult and kid tees, printed by Ink Knife Press here in Seattle. I even took some photos of a happy patient wearing one.  Lastly some of my favorite photos taken during those summer months—both on film and digital. |
