Nestled away under the Mancos Shale in Colorado, The Palisade Livery Saloon represents the wild and untamed charm of the state’s endless landscapes and rugged terrain. The town's geological features made natural irrigation difficult. Humanmade resources have now lead to a flourishing orchard town. I created a set of illustrations that embodied the history of the town, and people that thrive there.
A skeletal horse giving life to flowers represents the city’s history in utilizing horse-drawn carriages to nourish the land with water.

In September of 2018, adidas held a week-long event to inspire 600 of its most influential creators. The overall visual concept was influenced by Sol LeWitt’s geometric style for the entire event.
