EARWOLF PRESENTS // 2 Spooky 2 Handle - Custom Posters

Mano Agapion and Betsy Sodaro are two very funny and delightful people who also love scary movies. For EARWOLF PRESENTS, they had a four episode series during October. Each episode was a completely improvised "movie" featuring a lot of hilarious performers.

We even wound up printing physical posters (which I have yet to frame and hang on my walls).

This was a quick and fun project. I'm hopeful that they may do this type of thing again in the future.

99% INVISIBLE // Apple Podcasts Episode Art

Apple Podcasts reached out to the 99PI team to feature eight episodes on their platform. To do so, they needed custom art to use in their carousel.

Each episode covered a different topic. From scrap collectors in Mexico City, to being able to buy a house from a catalog, the series covered a variety of topics. So as per usual, I pulled out a trusty sketchbook and some tools and went to work.

This was a pretty tight timeline, so I challenged myself to work fast and loose. Trying to not worry about perfection as well as finding a style that would be easy to execute across eight episodes in a fairly brisk manner.

I love how these came together. It's always a delight to see my work in the Apple Podcasts app carousel. And it's always wonderful to work with Roman and co.

Just a bunch of characters for a Dungeons & Dragons podcast on Earwolf Presents. I was made for this.

FREAKONOMICS // Sympathy For The Rat - Series Art

New York City. Rats. Name a more iconic duo!

The team at Freakonomics had another request for series art and once again I set off into a blank page and drafted up a handful of potential executions. One of our goals was to make sure that the hero rat felt cute and sympathetic as opposed to being a vile vermin.

We mashed a couple of elements together from different solutions and landed on the final art you see at the top. Should I get a cute rat for a pet now?! Probably not.

STITCHER // In-App Illustrations Style Explorations

Way back in 2020 when Stitcher was still a thing, we were working on an updated version of the app. I was tasked with exploring some illustration styles that would be used on the website and app.

I'm not entirely sure if these ever got used. But this was a creatively satisfying project that let me be as playful or as restrained as I wanted to be.

OFF BOOK // Cover Art

If you aren’t listening to OFF BOOK, you are doing yourself a true disservice. One of the funniest, smartest, quickest, and musical-est in the podcast world. Jess McKenna and Zach Reino are just absolutely delightful as performers and humans. The brains inside their skulls are very special. And I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to brand their insanely great podcast. I had sort of free reign and tried to bring what I thought resonated with the tone of the show, a fun, improvised musical podcast. After a handful of sketches were presented, we started to narrow the direction. We finally settled on the cute musical notes and a bright color combo.

You can listen here.
