Posters for Parks
Posters for Parks is an annual show featuring limited-edition posters inspired by Minneapolis Parks. The event is a joint venture of LoveMplsParks.org and the People for Parks Foundation. 50% of all profits from the show are donated to the People for Parks Foundation to protect and preserve the award-winning Minneapolis park system.
Tail of the Mississippi
For the 2023 posters show I was inspired by the Mississippi River and my childhood spent fishing along it. I visualized the river as a powerful and unyielding fish; with sunlight reflecting off the water as spots, the jagged shore banks forming fins, and the booming and powerful St. Anthony Falls creating a massive tail for swimming down this powerful river. The mighty Mississippi has a tale to tell — and everyone who comes upon it: the kayakers, walkers, bikers, and runners, experiences it in their own beautiful and unique way.

Lunchtime in Loring Park
Lunchtime in the city can be a chaotic quest for all. This holds true at Loring Park, where cute, bushy-tailed critters transform into ravenous little bastards fighting for objects of nutty desire — the midday acorn. More than a meal, it’s one of nature’s most fervorous four-legged rituals.
