The Earwolf Tumblr
It's a Tumblr celebrating all things Earwolf! I'll be posting podcast-inspired sketches, designs and illustrations nearly everyday. So start following. For the best experience, be sure to keep up with Earwolf's latest episodes, "and I'll see you at the movies!"

SHORTWAVE with Grant-Lee Phillips
It’s pretty crazy the caliber of people I’ve had the pleasure to work with at Earwolf. Grant had an awesomely distinct style and direction in his head and it was easier than usual putting it together.
I came back with seven or eight design options and the lead image was chosen. This was a really satisfying project to work on that matched a lot of the aesthetics I’m naturally drawn to. Just being able to be so minimal and structured was super satisfying.
I did all the exploration in Illustrator and was able to just really let it flow out and move from one idea to the next. You can see how some ideas lead to other executions. I’m still really fond of that sea foam color. There’s just something really soothing about it. I think one of these days I’d like to take some of the discarded drafts and explore some poster interpretations. We’ll see…
If you like hearing about a musician’s craft, give the show a listen! Episode one features Aimee Mann.
IMPROV 4 HUMANS
Make a logo for another Matt Besser’s new improv 4 humans show?! Ummmm… yes please. We started with a sketchfest in my book of secrets. After some initial feedback and some other refined ideas, we settled on the Besserdog.
I pulled a few reference files and rendered the final for coloring. I then had the very gracious Benjamin “Adventureface” Braman digitally paint the illustration while I worked on the final layout for the cover.
*cymbal crash*
YEAH! Go check out i4h. It is consistently on it’s game and makes me cry laughing.

EARWOLF CHALLENGE LOGO
This was one of the easiest logos I got to put together for Earwolf. I provided a handful of colors options [first image] and we finally settled on the yellow and dark blue combo [second image].

EARWOLF POSTER PROCESS
Ever wondered how that fancy schmancy Earwolf poster came to be? I’ve got a secret, it started in a book that looks to be managed by a serial lunatic (me) and finally finished on a bonafide press. Here are the very first thumbnail sketches I produced when tasked with producing a poster in only a matter of weeks.
After that massacare, I finally started to narrow it down to a smaller handful of approaches. I rendered new art for final scans and then took to the computer to make them sexy and smooth.
When all was said and done, we settled on the mounted wolf head which you can just so happen to procure here. Jeff and Scott even sign it! As a little bonus to this “look back”, I went ahead and included some options that just didn’t make the cut — much to my chagrin. Oh well, perhaps they’ll see production one day.
THE ICE ELF COMETH
I can’t think of a better way to start this whole tumbling thing off than with a post serving as a sacrifice to the Ice Elf that Matt Besser’s Björk can summon with… well, who even knows?! I did this out of pure joy, only to find out I’d soon be working on BOTH of Matt’s show logos on Earwolf. I’m looking forward to sharing more of all that I haven’t done AND have done, for Earwolf.
I thought it might be cool to see the sketch AND final product… right?
Of course I’m right. I’m also write. *cough* DON’T JUDGE ME!
Had this idea in my head for a while, and I finally made it tonight. My celebratory burrito tasted like ink.
