The City of Newburyport is now accepting bids on the new metro system! (yes, I've posted this for 4/1 before). If you'd like to see more transport system maps, including NBPT Walk and Roll to School, Narnia, and more, head over to:

I just finished the new website, and logo refresh, for a great Newburyport bar/restaurant, The Port Tavern. It's simple, and tells you what you need to know: where it is, and what you can eat and drink there.

As my wife pointed out, this is map-geek stuff at its geekiest. I was in search of a project, and as I'm frequently re-reading the Narnia books, I thought, why not do a subway map? The general map shape and places is from the books, of course, but the "stations" are based on a very detailed map on Deviant Art, from user JamisonHartley. You can see his political map at this link:

A few years back I made a quick sketch for my friend showing the relationships between Pixies and Throwing Muses and their associated bands. For her recent bday I made this subway map version for her, because, of course I did. Who doesn't want a subway map for their birthday?

Here's the new Newburyport Youth Soccer Association logo. Look for it on the Fall 2020 uniforms.

New site for Dyno Records.

Simple and clean. A friend of a friend bought this great shop not long ago and I couldn't wait to be part of it. In a former life I worked in the record biz, including several Newbury Comics locations and at Warner Bros. records, so I was very happy to get this gig.

I've been working w the Greater Newburyport YWCA on this event for 3 years running. This is the 2019 event poster, w design and layout by me, with a cool photo from Biff Bouse, of "old and new" Newburyport. The new pic is his, the old is from 1850, in a collection from the Museum of Old Newbury, looking from State St. down Middle St.
