Fun fact: today is The Hot Brain’s 12th birthday. Gonna spend the day being awkward and discovering hair in weird places. Related, here’s a new poster I whipped up for a live, cryptid-centric game show, opening this Friday at .

Fun l’il poster for an upcoming run of sketch comedy shows for the weirds over at Coalition Theater. You’ll have multiple chances to catch this, but to be safe you should probably go see the first show, which is March 30.

Admittedly, the bulk of my work is for people elsewhere, so I was THRILLED when a local Richmond friend asked me to design the branding for her new clothing shop, Mattie’s. The name is a nod to the past—after a great aunt and half-century millinery vet—but the product offerings are modern, with an emphasis on sustainability. Check out some of their early offerings as shopmatties.com and keep an eye out for a brick and mortar location in 2024.

Poster design for a sketch comedy show I played some part in.

PEOPLE OF RICHMOND: I finally made it over to the Branch Museum to see the Characters: Type & Progress show. An eye-opening dive into typographic history through the lens of race, gender, and sexual identity. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS.

Who’s ready to do some GRAPHIC DESIGN?

Hey, it’s a new VERY SILLY poster for a sketch show that just happens to be this weekend. NOTE: I am NOT a part of this show, which shouldn’t stop you from going AND/OR might be incentive for you to check it out.

I’m asking nicely.

New promo design for a show featuring dangerous and untested forms of improvised comedy. You can check it out Fridays in November at if you DARE.

An important PSA for this All Hallows’ Eve.

Hi! While this IS the logo for my design outfit, I think it also captures the vibe of our current shared condition in tee shirt form. https://shop.thehotbrain.com/

There’s stickers now.

Miraculously and ridiculously, it is The Hot Brain’s tenth birthday. A combination of great clients, a patient and supporting spouse, dumb luck, and a little skill have made this somehow possible. I offer my heartfelt thanks to you all—right before I transition this whole enterprise into a repellent lifestyle brand. xoxo

Remember buying fonts on floppies? Ha ha. Me neither, for I am young.

A li’l mantra for twenty-twenty-two.

A bit of the Crystal Coast typographic flavor I took in when I wasn’t busy drinking vino or eating shrimp burgers.
