The faculty members who arranged for me to come to Melbourne, made 2 cases of wine with my talk “title” silk-screened on each bottle. Aussies are the best!

Poster design, advertising creative and branding for a new MA in Curatorial Practices chaired by Steven Henry Madoff.

Donald commissioned me to design a portfolio package of a dozen prints that he wanted to call: “ANTI-MATTER.” This was a high-ticket item for collectors. These are a few ideas that he liked. Alas, the portfolio never was made as the country entered a recession in 2009..

Worked with graphic novelist/artist Nathan Fox on this trio of posters. Flourescent ink made the posters “silk-screened” collectors items. We re-used the artwork on a recruitment campaign online and in print advertising as well as a 24' x 36' billboard.

I was asked by the great illustrator/artist Marshall Arisman to design these 3 SVA subway posters using his slogan and powerful artwork.

This was a 3 part poster and banner that I made when I was asked to speak and be a visiting critic at my alma mater Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI.

I was asked by Steven Heller MFA Design co-Chair and Cathy Leff, Director of Wolfsonian Museum to contribute to the exhibition and conference: The Power of Design "Complaints."

This was a 16’ x 24’ banner for the side of the 209 E 23 Street building.

SVA Subway Poster 3 piece series. Photographs by Clay Patrick McBride. Lettering by Ryan Durinick.

Steven Heller asked me to come up with a concept for a symposium: Where The Truth Lies. I found an old lie detector machine and had Harry Zernike photograph it.

I was asked to create a series of posters for the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Artists) National conference in Minneapolis 2013.

Poster created as a promotional piece for the 21 different Graduate programs at SVA. Each flower carries its own abstract visualization of the discipline.

Gallery catalog for David Corio’s photography exhibition of Oil studies at White Cube, London. I persuaded David to continue photographing oil slicks, etc, and he has now a 15 year collection of incredibly beautiful abstract images of this unusual ubiquitous substance.
