Playing and drawing with the kids a few months ago and found some old kid paints from Target in the back of a drawer and these two… three.. were born. lol. A version of the little white dog later showed up in an beer label. 🥸

BEHOLD! A glorious pile of unseen Broadway rejects! 🎭✨

When my wife and I first rolled into NYC in 2008, I landed a freelance gig at — an incredible ad agency that does Broadway theatre campaigns. (Still remember my first day... around 2pm I thought "uh is anyone going to take a lunch break?" No... no they weren't. lol. Wasn't always like that but that worried me ha.) That “quick freelance job” turned into four years of late nights, wild ideas, and more show logos than I can count.

That first year was… let’s just say character building (fresh off the boat from Texas and tossed straight into New York advertising chaos — yeah 😅). But once I found my footing, I got to work with some of the most talented people I've ever known.

Every now and then, some of those folks still call me up for projects, which is awesome. I’ve been sharing a bunch of work that never saw the light of day, and instead of spamming your feed with 37 posts of “the Broadway that could’ve been,” here’s a little highlight reel.

Forever grateful for that wild, caffeine-fueled, Broadway chapter — and for all the legends I got to call coworkers and friends.

HUZZAH! Taking a break from posting unused work to show some fun artwork I got to make for a crazy new ren faire musical, ! Huge thanks to the folks at for the great assignment. Fun seeing how the team exploded the art into some really fun merch. :)

Found another old project that never saw the light of day that I want to post but taking a minute to get it all together.. so posting this old painting I made several years ago (I think for a Ford thing?) I am in the middle of turning a big page in my career… getting ready for what’s next… whatever that exactly looks like… but I know it will involve more painting! This is a small painting and didn’t take very long but there is something about having a piece live in the real world that I am totally craving right now. My pal has been making some beautiful paintings lately and I love that I am seeing several friends getting real brushes and real paints out again. Is a movement resurfacing? I hope so. People like and have been a source of inspiration for me. Putting work out there that lives in the real world.. that you have to go stand in front of to really appreciate. More of that! Grateful for this life I get to live. Want to make the most of it.
