I’ve been frequenting for over twenty years now, have done an uncountable amount of design work for the establishment and local bands in that time, but it took going back to my roots and designing a logo for some pals’ passion project to finally make it to the coveted ice maker collage. Better Nate Than Lever.
(Stay tuned for the Pink Holographic Glitter Valentine’s Variant edition)

The Hyatt Beehive Mural project in my Fall ‘22 Professional Practice course serendipitously came my way when I was struggling with how to fill out the curriculum. It became (I think) one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences for that then-Senior BFA cohort, and I was stoked for the opportunity to guide them through it.
Each of the teams produced a stellar concept for their mural design, but in the end only one team’s could be selected to be installed. And that team was Team Cheetah. Yes, I give my group projects’ teams silly names. No, they don’t get a say.
10:30 this morning was a beautiful time to watch 2/3 of the Cheetahs witness the results of their efforts, started nearly two years ago. I’m wicked proud of these burgeoning killer designers and extremely honored to have been invited along to the Hyatt’s promo video shoot. Stay tuned for that later in September!
In conclusion: Hell yeah. Congrats .johnson_ and !!!
And extra special big-up thanks to for bringing this opportunity to GSU Graphic Design!!

So, I’ve been teaching Branding and Logo/Identity design in one form or another for about seven years, but it’d been a minute since I’d actually undergone the process myself for a client. When a couple of pals announced they were opening a comic store in the neighborhood, I practically demanded that I design the logo for it. A lifelong comic book freak and nerdy at all angles, this was basically a dream project.
It was also unexpectedly challenging, in terms of developing a concept. My goal was to not do something that was overtly comic-book-y, while also not veering off into Incongruity Land, just of the sake of not doing “the expected”.
The final chosen concept walks that line pretty well, I think. The core shape of the logo is taken from an overhead view of the neighborhood layout, while the skewed grid arrangement of the letterforms alludes to both comic book panels and the arrangement of the businesses within the East Atlanta Village. The individual letters were given subtle tweaks to hint at the historical canon of comic book characters and design elements. Finally, the color option that won out (by a single vote, apparently) is the classic Primary Palette, which harkens back to the pre-digital printing processes of the Golden Age of comics.
And there you have it: the East Atlanta Comics logo. This project was a lot of fun and was extremely helpful in boosting my confidence in my work, which had taken a solid cupshot from being unemployed for a little over a year. Take a little swipesy for a peek at the process, if you’re so moved.
Huge thanks to for letting me take a crack at this. I’ll start working up my pull list soon.

So, I haven’t had the opportunity to do many show posters in the recent past. Getting to do this one was a welcome stretching of those muscles. Sadly, I’m probably gonna miss the show. But you SHOULDN’T.

Finally digging into my last completed freelance project, ‘s dual-decade comedy journalism retrospective. It was REAL hard not to read every word as I designed the cover and interiors for this one, gang. Carlin, Rivers, Hedberg, The Amazing Jonathan, and on and on and on and on… Grab yourself two copies off Amazon and give one to a chuckle buddy.
Also, if you ever find yourself in Canton, Ohio at 9:30 in the morning on a Saturday, stop into Pete’s on West Tusc. and you just might get a sample of the Gentle Coronary, the lunch special. Ham, prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, provolone, and pesto on grilled flatbread. With fries. I’ll be back at 1.

Aside from applying graphics and some minor paint touch ups, Pandemic Project No. 1 is done. Is it perfect from every angle? Absolutely not. And neither is its eventual home. Which is exactly why I miss it, and my chosen family, so dearly. Here’s to the time when we can all be together again and then not remember a bit of it the next morning. @ The EARL
