- Introduction 1I’m a graphic designer. I develop branding. I make websites. I make magazines, and brochures, ads, and all sorts of things. I’ve been doing this professionally since 1992.I’ve worked for Governor Ed Rendell, notably doing all design work for both 2003 and 2007 Gubernatorial Inaugurations including logos, commemorative programs, brochures, tickets, banners, credentials, and way more. I also worked with the Honorable Edward G. Rendell when he was Mayor, including all Host City Events for the Presidents’ Summit For America’s Future and was also recommended to the White House Advance Team to produce stage design and backdrops for events featuring President Clinton and Vice President Gore.I’ve also worked on brands including Florida Tourism, SmithKline Beecham, University of Pennsylvania, Napa, Damon’s Grill, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Albright College, and many more: big and small.And I'm an educator… I teach at Moore College of Art & Design where I teach website and UI design, digital painting, and intro to Creative Suite classes.
- Introduction 2I’m also an illustrator. My work has appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Wall Street Journal, Outdoor Life, and the Utne Reader among others.But you know what else I am? A Storyteller. When I design a logo or a layout for an article… I'm telling a story about a company or an institution and an idea. When I draw a picture I'm also telling a story. I'm trying to communicate a concept.I've worked since I was a kid to hone skillsets that would allow me to tell a story. I design. I draw. I write. I make comics. I tell stories.
- The ContractThis is a self-generated project.First you make the deal.Query Letter to an AgentOr send it directly to the Publisher, slush pile.An agent can shop the same idea, but it will go a lot farther as Editors trust Agent’s judgments.
- The ManuscriptI needed to have at least 35,000 words. Typical page has 300 to 350 words on it. Book needed to be at least 160 – 176 pages long. Had to carefully plan out the number of graphics and illustrations to insure balance.
- The PagesVery and challenging process.

- Ben Franklin is famous for a lot of pithy quotes that are still commonly repeated today. Interestingly enough, these quotes were mostly intended as space fillers on pages within “Poor Richard’s Almanack” where there were blank spaces.
- This is also a famous quote from Benjamin Franklin… in fact he just tweeted this one this morning.
