Think Green - Township of Berkeley Heights Bicentennial logo - The Township of Berkeley Heights, NJ started an Environmental Commission, tasked to research and find ways to make our community more "green." The initiative encompasses a sustainability plan and events to spread awareness of greener practices for business and the home in our town. To represent the movement they wanted to convey, they enlisted me to come up with logo concepts, and this one is the one they liked best. Seen here is the special version of it, celebrating the town's Bicentennial.

The Red Rocket - No More Heroes 2 T-shirt design winner - The Nintendo Wii game, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle held a competition to submit T-shirt designs that would be worn by the main character, as well as put into production for purchase. Having played the previous game, and being familiar with it's bend towards the perverse, I devised a design that would reference something without being explicit. I chose a pixel art style because of the games' foray's into this form and use of pixels in the interface.

Red Rocket t-shirt design for No More Heroes 2 - It's in the game! Hooray!
