Excited to be in @brutusmag Oct issue alongside some awesome Hawaii talent! Not sure how my title went from Lettering Artist to Sign Painter but I'm super stoked on the feature. Huge thanks to @contrastmag!

Wednesday...done! Had my nose buried in Mid-Century Ads since this afternoon. Heading out the door, the week's all downhill from here! #lettering #script #humpday

Insomnia hit me tonight so I started digging through old sketches & ended up re-drawing some discarded lettering comps. Always liked this one. #sketch #lettering #handlettering #wishyouwerehere

Making my way out from under a mountain at the moment & did this quick one before heading out of the office for the night. #script #lettering #optimisticvibes
