FEATURED ILLUSTRATIONS

Everything that makes Berkeley special can be found in this unique design commissioned by Berkeleyside from Berkeley muralist and illustrator Nigel Sussman.

Berkeleyside T-shirt

This poster was commissioned by for the January 27th and 28th, 2023 tour dates of Lettuce with Keifer at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA. The image is of a funky musical plane flying high. Limited edition commemorative posters were given out to every attendee to the show at the end of the night. The image was hand-drawn digitally using Photoshop and computer/stylus.

The Fillmore - San Francisco

See my art driving around San Francisco in this new collaboration with Waymo. I have chosen to highlight what I love about the city through the lens of food. I am pleased to be able to give back through this project with a donation to Foodwise. Check out more about Waymo at waymo.com/sf and keep an eye out for my design on the streets of San Francisco!

Ski cats! Drawn in the sketchbook a few weeks ago when we were in Tahoe. I stayed inside by the fire and drew while the kids skied. My favorite type of snow day!
