Tshirt designs

I designed these two T-shirt over a few lunch breaks for a possible Tshirt program, but unfortunately they weren't picked up. 
I put them up on Threadless.com for a vote...hopefully with some better luck.

On July 4, 2011, my Grandmother, my brother, and myself decided to create and publish a pop-up book about our longtime favorite vacation spot, Rehoboth Beach DE. The book is complete and should hit shelves July 12th, 2012.

The story follows a family as they spend 'A Day in Rehoboth Beach'. Here they are at the beach off the boardwalk.


This is my favorite page, the horses on the merry-go-round actually move up and down as you open the book.


Here, the family is enjoying a rock concert at the bandstand on Rehoboth Avenue.


This is the first time I've really worked professionally with my brother and Grandmother, and I couldn't have been more impressed. It was really a wonderful experience.
My brother, Brian Allen did all the Illustrations. My Grandmother, Joanne Defiore wrote the story, did the Calligraphy, and handled all the marketing. I handled all the popups and production work.

Visit By the Bay Books for more info!!!

It has been a very VERY long time since I posted anything to the ol' blog.
I've been working on a lot of projects lately, so I'm going to post a lot of back logged stuff and hopefully get myself back in the habbit.
My wife's 30th birthday party was a few weeks ago. I threw her a party at a cool bar in downtown Cleveland, A.J. Rocco's
Here is a poster for the event...


I also made some small table tents with some fun facts about 1982, the year she was born.
