I established cloudy/co llc in 2009 to house my illustration and design work, and the company’s first project is a collaborative quarterly print project called the Cloudy Collection.
I was born in the suburban flatlands north of Chicago along Lake Michigan. With the schoolyard half a block in one direction and the candy store a half a block in the other direction, my childhood was an interesting balance of motion sickness on the tire swing and a sugar buzz from Hollie’s corner store.
That high-fructose queasiness frequently shows up in my illustrations yet today. With clients such as the City of Chicago, CVS/Pharmacy, Gary Fisher Bikes, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and honors from Communication Arts, Print, and HOW magazines, it seems that my work has found somebody’s sweet tooth. Remember to floss.
In addition to my commercial work, I also create paintings, prints, plush sculptures and installations, and I teach in the art department at Washington State University in Pullman.
I live in Moscow, ID, with my wife and my daughter, and my favorite color is orange, but it used to be blue.
