Crabs on the table. Anchors on the wall. Salt in the air.

Salt and Anchor is a coastal kitchen collection built for the brands that live in the tabletop and kitchen textile space. Warm sand, deep olive, and terracotta replace the usual nautical blue, giving this one a grounded, earthy feel that works year-round, not just in summer.

The collection includes placement art, repeating patterns, and silhouette allover prints, all ready for dinnerware, aprons, tea towels, and coastal home. Everything shown here is available for licensing.

If this fits what you are sourcing, the link in bio will get you there.

Harbour and Helm was built for the brands that want coastal done right.

Not kitschy. Not overdone. Think warm wood tones, loose botanicals, hand-detailed seafood illustration, and a palette that works from dinner plates to throw pillows to framed prints.

The collection includes repeating patterns, placement prints, and lifestyle art, all ready to apply across kitchen, tabletop, outdoor entertaining, and coastal home categories.

Licensing inquiries welcome. Link in bio.

Found an old book of my artwork buried in the studio. I think this was around 2010.

Completely different style back then. Everything was built in Photoshop and Illustrator, no Procreate, no iPad, just a mouse and a lot of patience.

I still love these pieces. But flipping through it, what hits me is how much the work has evolved, and how you can already see little glimpses of where I was trying to go. The seeds were there. I just didn’t know it yet.

If you’re early in your creative journey, keep the old stuff. Future you will want to see the trail.

The house goes quiet around 9. That’s when my second shift starts.

I’m tired most nights. I still show up, because drawing isn’t the thing I do after the real work. It is the real work.

If you’re building something in the margins of your day, you already know.
