Hello
- My name is Brandon. I'm a graphic artist who cares deeply about the work that I make, and why it's being made. This site is full of samples of work that have been approved over the years, mostly graphic tees and logos, etc. You can read a little more about me on the profile page , see what I'm working on at Dribbble, and follow me on Twitter to keep up with daily happenings. Sometimes I write longer blog posts. I call them articles. You can read those here.

Photo Explosion
Lately, I’ve been freaking out on Instagram. I’ve just realized how neat of a tool it is to collect all the rad stuff I see throughout my day, like that little wonderful 3-Dimension thingy up there. This stuff kills me, … Continue reading
The One-Trick-Pony Steals The Show
I think it’s important for us as designers to be a bit insecure about our work from time to time. It pushes us to improve and to push our boundaries. There is a difference between sulking or whining about not … Continue reading
