REWIND PRESENTS

LOCAL COMEDY POSTERS
from time to time, local comedians commission me to design posters for their stand-up shows.
it’s a good excuse to experiment with type & get some laughs on the way.
VIRIDIAN
CHILI CRISP LABEL
Viridian is a downtown Oakland bar that celebrates Asian culture & flavors in what feels like a moody Hong Kong night.
their innovative chef, Kevin Tang, put together an addictive chili crisp that needed packaging.
Anyone who grew up eating Lao Gan Ma brand chili crisp knows to trust the woman soberly staring at you on the bottle. to honor this matriarch of spice, i designed a referencial label that features chef Kevin Tang as her disciple.
product launched: January 2023
LUCKYDUCK BICYCLE CAFE
GRAPHIC TEE
Luckyduck Bicycle Cafe is a coffee & bike repair shop in Oakland. the owner was hankering for some new merch as another source of income, during peak Covid years.
i wanted to design a graphic that appealed to his existing customer base: young, active, sometimes punk, sometimes queer, always community-oriented people.
thus, i came up with this double-breasted rubber duck in a loose, bubbly hand to speak to the brand, without feeling like a billboard for the cafe.
