Logos for Mutiny Radio SF

My design was selected for the new logo for San Francisco's great underground radio station Mutiny Radio (formerly known as Pirate Cat Radio)

Here's the final design approved by the collective:

...and here's my first draft (which I personally prefer)Check out my buddy's Leon's show "The Bulkan Vulcan" on Sundays 1 - 3pm (SF time) on Mutiny Radio:

50 Watt Polish book cover design contest

My submission for a contest on a great art blog called 50 Watt.
The challenge was to interpret your favorite book in the style typical of book covers accomplished by great graphic designers somewhere around 1950 to early 1980's Poland.
The English title of what I chose is "The Sanatorium Underneath the Hourglass" by the Polish writer Bruno Schulz...a great surrealist classic! (He was an accomplished illustrator as well - Google his drawings & see!)

Not-so-quick side note: I was first introduced to Schulz work by the Quay Brothers' "Street of Crocodiles" which is an amazing stop-motion animation short that highly influenced my young mind back in the late 80's/early 90's. The Quays based their piece on Schulz's original work of the same title. I've included a link of the short below for reference.

Didn't make the final cut, but check out the winners and runner ups:

"Street of Crocodiles" by the Brothers Quay (inspired by Bruno Schulz's original novel)

A tree falls in Japantown

Found half a fallen tree on our front steps first thing in the morning.
Nothing broke - nobody injured...so, I thought it was beautiful in a poetic sort of way.


Impressed that the City came before 11am to clear it all up!
