South by Southwest — or SXSW — based in Austin, Texas, hosts conferences and festivals that celebrate music, film, tech, culture, and education. Experts from every channel come together to offer their ideas and diverse perspectives. This series of work consists of select Keynote Speakers through the years. Inspired by hand-pressed poster art, these simple and historical looking works use collections of vintage type and hand-carved imagery to create timeless designs that express and commemorate the speakers and their relevant, thought-provoking messages of hope which are evolving our cultural identity. Inspiration’s Hall of Fame at every corner.

Seattle — the Emerald City — is an artistic, colorful, and vibrant city full of lush evergreens and a mysterious energy that attracts the artist in all of us. As a critical mass of advanced technology and diverse economic sectors, the city is also supported by an innovative public arts program. Whatever you’re into—music, pride, adventure, or an intellectual deep dive—Seattle has a neighborhood where you’ll find it and fit right in. The artworks in the two Crossover facilities reflect this colorful diversity — one that comes from the fourteen selected neighborhoods — each chosen for their unique allure. Inspired by the vibe of a contemporary art exhibit, these mixed-media works display the very pulse of its surroundings — the places that honor an artistic lifestyle — in music, performance, and visual arts. Fourteen works of art, two facilities, one Seattle.

As an ultra-urban environment, New York City is connected. It is bright and bold with a built-in diversity. The artworks adorning the Crossover 5th Avenue facility walls aimed to envelop just that. Inspired by Pop Art, these contemporary works use geometric shapes, patterns, angles, linear expressions, and find inspiration from NYC’s wayfinding system to convey excitement and movement, and honor each unique mode of transportation in the city. Nine walls, nine works of art, one vibe.

LANDBACK.Art is a Out Of Home campaign across North America to broaden support for the LANDBACK Movement. Over 20 Indigenous artists, community members, and allies illustrate their answer to “What does LANDBACK mean to you?” on billboards placed in communities currently fighting for Indigenous rights and the protection of Native land. The project was supported by INDÍGENA, NDN Collective (and featured in LANDACK Magazine, 2022), and For Freedoms (also featured in their book “Where Do We Go From Here, 2024). This collaboration with Josué Rivas was placed in Anaheim, California in 2021, and one year later the artwork moved to George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A 24” x 36” screen printed poster was also made to raise funds for LANDBACK.Art.

Neighborhood 2017 — 2019
We owned and operated a hub for art in North Orange County, California. In 2009, we started a seven-year experiment called PÄS (project art school), where four white walls were gradually broken down, and in 2016, community-as-art prevailed — Think Neighborhood.
