Sticker Illustration Project Featured on The Dieline

The recently commissioned illustration I completed for Upwork’s Talent on Tap project was featured on the packaging design blog, The Dieline.

The Dieline is one of my favorite sources of packaging inspiration so it was quite the shock when I saw they featured this project. Thanks again to the team at Upwork for producing a really fun and amazing project.

9 newspapers to inspire you in March

Excited to share that the poetry booklet I recently designed for O, Miami was featured in Newspaper Club’s 9 newspapers to inspire you in March list.

Ballerz, is a basketball-inspired poetry zine featuring poets from all over the world.

If you know me then you know I love designing things for print and this project was no exception. The tactile feel of the uncoated newsprint texture makes me remember why I chose to be a designer.

Big thanks to Newspaper Club for including my booklet design in their monthly list.

Raising Cane's Mural Miami

Excited to finally announce the completion of these two canvas panels that I recently completed for the new Raising Cane’s restaurant which will be opening in South Beach on Lincoln Road. I typically paint murals on-site so this was a special project considering the panels were painted at my house and then delivered to the restaurant for permanent installation.

I took full advantage of the opportunity by painting the panels outside under some palm trees. The project was administered by the hard working folks at Muros in Chicago. Big thanks to everyone there for helping out with this project.

See more pictures of the mural project for Raising Cane’s here.

No Justice, No Peace

Illustration and design in response to political and cultural issues which continue to challenge global society.

Together – A Hybrid Art Experience

Noah Levy and Penny Crane team up to create a unique piece of artwork for Collabo, an art show hosted by TOGETHER at the 7 Seas Motel in Miami. The original abstract illustration was created digitally by Noah Levy and then woven together in a tapestry by Penny Crane.

TOGETHER is an experimental happening, multi-format art platform launching during Miami Art Week. Established in 2005, the Collabo show is a Miami-based, artist-organized exhibition.

citizenM Miami Illustration

The creative team at KesselsKramer and citizenM recently asked me to create an illustration and animation for the new citizenM hotel in Miami, Florida. The graphic is intended to promote a call for art for creatives living in Miami. Art and artists will be selected by a jury and the final pieces will be displayed in the common areas and rooms of the new hotel.

The concept of the illustration was to create caricatures that spell out the word “MIAMI.” Of course, each of the caricatures are enjoying some of my favorite Miami activities. I’m excited to see the final artwork that will be selected for the hotel.

Spot Lite Detroit – Bar And Music Venue Illustrations

Spot Lite is a new Bar, Music Venue, Lounge, and Art Gallery located in Detroit, Michigan. The owners of Spot Lite asked me to iterate a bunch of logo and illustration concepts that could be produced on a variety of materials including t-shirts, tote bags, member ID cards, and social media graphics.

The illustrations were inspired by vintage caricature designs and badge logos.

Ballerz: A Team of Poems About Basketball

Some of my favorite design projects are in collaboration with the creative folks at O, Miami Poetry Festival. For this project, we created a zine showcasing 17 poets and their poems about basketball. The poets were assigned stats like “Speed, 3 Pointers, Dunks, and Defense.” To purchase a copy of the zine head over to the O, Miami shop.

Pink Pandemic Painting

I’ve been spending a lot of time making new paintings over the past few weeks. Some have been more conceptual while others have been experimentations with various color palettes and styles/processes. This painting below is one of the few that have been more successful. Excited to keep pushing these compositions between other illustration and design projects.

David The Agency Mural in Wynwood

2 murals in one week - is something that I will never do again. This was the second mural that I completed back in January for the cool dudes over at David The Agency. They have an awesome office and dedicated staff. A few of them, including Tomas, Brenda, and Anastasia put in late nights with me to make sure this was done by the end of the weekend. There is always a lot of pressure painting creative agencies because they have so many talented people working in their office. I tried my hardest to make sure this would be something they could enjoy looking at every day. Thank you to everyone at David for making this happen.

Casa De Crunch

It’s Super Bowl time and you know what that means, I’m not sure what it means - I’ve never played or watched football in my life. Although, the 2020 Super Bowl is particularly special to me. Back in December I was asked to create an illustration for a mural installation at the Casa De Crunch, a Super Bowl activation sponsored by Frito-Lay and the NFL. Together, with the help of my awesome friends, we completed the 30’ long by 9’ high mural in 2 days at Bayfront Park in Miami.

Huge thanks to New Creatures for asking me to work on this project. Also very grateful for the patience and hard-work ethic from my friend, Nina Marcus-Kurlonko. Check out more pics from the mural here.

The show was curated by Gustavo Oviedo/131 Projects and featured in Resident Magazine and Travel Professional News.

Art Lab at Apple Aventura: Recap

What an amazing experience last weekend at the Apple Store in Aventura. I was given the opportunity to chat about my history of making things, the challenges that almost defeated me, and the fun projects that make everything worthwhile.

In addition, I put together a step-by-step guide on how to create your own abstract illustrations using Procreate app and the iPad. At the end of the tutorial, the audience shared their illustrations on the big screen.

Thank you to Melody Santiago Cummings for putting this event together. I’d also like to thank Chris Miro and all of the Apple Creatives who helped with the project.
