We Will Rebuild Charity Game
Not every project wins an award, but some leave a lasting mark on history. These moments represent moments where my work intersected with major cultural icons.
I designed the identity for Rebound South Florida, a charity basketball game benefitting victims of Hurricane Andrew. Having the NBA approve the first design proposal and seeing superstars such as Michael Jordan (who proposed the game) wearing the shirt remains a career highlight.
Name Drops
The Birdcage Scene
Seeing a legendary figure like Robin Williams interact with a piece of work you created is beyond words. In this scene he unfolds a Miami Herald section featuring my Operation Angel newspaper ad.
Robert August Surf & Turf Challenge
Famous surfer and star of the 1966 documentary “The Endless Summer”, Robert August holds an annual surfing and golf competition charity event in Costa Rica. I had the privilege of designing the identity.
Mini Adirondack Chairs
Georgia Bonesteel is a renowned American quilter credited with inventing “lap quilting” and hosting a long-running series on PBS. Coincidentally I paint mini Adirondack chairs with quilt patterns; a mutual friend introduced us knowing our shared interests. After learning of her favorite colors, I painted her a chair that she now keeps in her workspace.
My Hallmark days, 1978
The Hand that Shook History
The hand seen here was fortunate enough to touch a true icon. Every Christmas, Hallmark Cards founder J.C. Hall and his family personally greeted employees in the annual holiday receiving line. In 1978 I didn't realize the gravity of that moment. Looking back, knowing I was selected to contribute to the global legacy he started remains one of the proudest moments of my career.
