The Indiehood - Brand development guide
The idea behind The Indiehood: one app to advertise and locate Do-It-Yourself concert venues and shows near you, with controls for visibility, safety, and venue identity customization. This project was created as an exercise in branding and identity. This brand is fictitious, but maybe someday it can be real. For your enjoyment, I present my dream project: The Indiehood.
Bands and Brands
One of my favorite types of project is designing collateral for musicians. In this project, I'll be showcasing designs I've created for the band Icarus Airline, as well as some older personal projects. The designs for Icarus Airline are still in use today, and feature prominently on the band's Spotify pages.
Thumbles_Comic - Website & Comics
Thumbles_Comic is a humorous comic strip published on my time. Both the comic and the website are byproducts of my sole creative efforts and have been a labor of love since November of 2020.
View and interact with the full website at https://www.thumblescomic.com (responsive webpages, works on mobile, tablet, desktop, and television monitors)
Miscellaneous Designs
Digital artwork I've completed for fun and for use in various projects. Includes logos, merchandise, promotional covers, and digital and physical illustrations. These designs span multiple years. Additional information can be found in their captions. Consider this a dumping ground for designs that weren't necessarily part of a larger project, but still hold up!
