PLASTIC ATK®

Welcome to my portfolio site.  I’m a designer, art director, and commercial artist. I specialize in visual identities, package design, collaborative brainstorming, and illustration. I am happiest when working at the cross roads of type and image. I have had a lot of great opportunities in my career from working with inspiring and talented creative minds, to cutting a man’s portrait out of a piece of pimento loaf.

Why Plastic Attack? Because my given name does not have the most common spelling. I didn’t want people to misspell my website name, so I looked for an alternative. I came up with a two word combination that felt right for my style. I saw that it was available, and I ran with it.

Larry H. Miller Jeep


We Speak Jeep   

Jeep drivers are a tight knit group with lots of brand loyalty. At Larry H. Miller Jeep, they know the importance of making a Jeep store that felt more like a club house. Colorado Jeep was a flagship store for the Millers and the visuals needed to communicate it. We created a pattern inspired by trail maps and added some Western outdoor visuals and a wood grain pattern. Then we applied the visuals to help communicate their brand.
