The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

I loved "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" and, being an illustration geek, I especially loved the gorgeous color plates that open each segment. I checked the credits and, as I suspected, they were painted by the great Gregory Manchess- a wonderful homage to Golden Age illustrators like Howard Pyle and N.C. Wyeth.









Pirated Logo

We're drafting yet another cease-and-desist letter, this time to a college in North Dakota. We created this logo for the St. Joe's Marauders years ago, and it's become, ironically, the most-stolen thing we've ever done.

Elmwood Mural

This was an unusual project- a collaboration with Mark Corsi of Poster Art and the talented folks at Zoom Copy. The mural depicts five cultural icons as children- it's up to passersby to figure out who's who.

Erie County Fair APA

You never know where your work is going to turn up. We spotted our Erie County Fair logo from a few years back on a new beer from Flying Bison Brewery. Pairs nicely with funnel cakes.
