Esquire Magazine has a tradition of featuring inventive cover design (where did George Lois find a soup can big enough to hold Warhol?) In 2011, invited by an editor at Esquire to submit a cover proposal or two, I jumped at the chance and came up with a few ideas. I started with the question […]

I am very inspired and appreciative of the work that the Occupy Sandy movement is doing in bringing relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. I love the ‘if you have an idea just do it’ ethos. It’s certainly messy. But it is happening. And it is making a difference. In that spirit I designed […]

The Rolling Stones ‘Sticky Fingers’ album cover by Andy Warhol is a genius piece of art. Straight forward yet clever, engaging, provocative, tactile… never mind that the zipper can scratch the heck out of the vinyl. I was messing around with some photography of my own recently and it struck me that a phone in […]

This is a design that was submitted to the Not Just a Container contest for the new Dekalb Market in downtown Brooklyn. Called ‘Meatspace’, it is a restaurant concept I designed around modern meatball sub sandwiches. I adapted the concept to fit the shipping container requirements of the Dekalb Market contest. It would contain a […]

If you are a westerner with a pulse you have most probably been in a Starbucks. With its over 11,000 stores in the US alone, Starbucks has grown to become the assumed go-to location when someone says, “let’s get a coffee”. In fact, they might even say ‘I want a Starbucks”. Very few brands can […]

On May 25th the New York Times reported that chef Jonathan Benno’s new restaurant being built at Lincoln Center for the Patina Restaurant Group did not yet have a name. The next morning I sent a letter to Nick Valenti, head of Patina with a suggestion for a name I thought would be fitting for the […]

I know it’s kinda silly but I couldn’t resist submitting an entry for the Chiquita Banana Sticker Contest. Judging by the entries that are already posted I am not even sure if this is a real contest. But the only issue for me is that the submission requirements are slightly limiting. The Chiquita website allows […]
