· Best & Worst…the RVA Way

Best & Worst…
the RVA Way

Richmond Magazine’s 24th “Best & Worst”

Recently wrapped up a run of illustrations for Richmond Magazine’s annual “Best & Worst” issue. It was a great project with a wealth of material…and fodder…Much of the research was a breeze this time around; step outside and take a walk. Goods were found, and discovered, at places and resources new to me, so some of it was a “learn-as-I-go” process that was not only helpful to this project, but gave me more in the arsenal for down the pike. Richmond Magazine was great to work with again and as always, gave me a lot of leeway to bring everything to the right finish line.

Fox on the Run {Sorry, Sweet}

April 27, 2011 in Illustration, Kevin, Recent Work, RVA Creative by Fan Works | No comments

Fox Elementary is ramping up for the 32nd annual Strawberry Street Festival, May 7th, from 12 to 4:30 pm. It’s a big deal, and every year gets bigger…music, bands, Foxy Flea Market, silent auction, games, activities, food, super creative vendors with all their wares and, of course, strawberries.

We got the call to jump into the fray and lend a hand to this year’s blow-out, joining a roster of incredible volunteers, teachers and students. We were asked to come on board and help out with this year’s t-shirt and poster design/illustration. And just like Caine’s mess boys, we couldn’t resist the lure of strawberries…

We started with a pencil.

The ‘Fox Zeppelin’ won out for the t-shirt this year, taking the iconic fox someplace it hadn’t been before. Strawberry Street Festival is one the biggest and most successful fundraisers of the year for Fox PTA, requiring vigilance, volunteering and watchful eyes to keep the machine operating smoothly. What better place to put your fox to keep that watchful eye? {The hen house concept lost out…}.

Strawberry Street Festival :: May 7, 12:30–4 p.m. :: 2300 Hanover Ave.

2011 Strawberry Street Festival T-shirt

You’ll be told to head to 2300 Hanover Avenue to find the happenings and trust me, you will. Happenings galore…but right on the corner is the festival’s namesake.

Sweet Swag

November 4, 2010 in Kevin, Richmond by Fan Works | No comments

The WRIR ’10 Fall Fund Drive is in full swing this week … give-aways, CDS, live bands everyday … and much, much more. Head on over to WRIR and show some love and support … there are various levels of pledging available so don’t be shy: any and all support is put to good use and appreciated by a staff of peerless volunteers who pump out the quality for what Paste Magazine called one of “the best little radio stations in the U.S.”

Already got your shirt and/or record bag? {What? Go get one …} They let K do it, so let us see you in it … and keep that tote filled; that’s the kid of baggage we all need more of. No matter what your mother says.

Pumped for WRIR

October 15, 2010 in Graphic Design, Kevin, Recent Work, Richmond, RVA Creative by Fan Works | No comments

WRIR, home of Kevin’s Sunrise Ocean Bender, is gearing up for it’s Fall Fund Drive … coming up right around the corner, October 29 – November 7 {early bird donations start this weekend}. This season’s drive is the ‘official’ introduction of the WRIR Fund Drive logo.

The logo will be featured on this year’s pledge premiums {WRIR t-shirt and tote}, as well as used on fund drive related materials. WRIR has two fund drives every year, Spring and Fall, and is a scorching time around the station: guests, in-studio live performances by local bands, plenty of fuel generously donated by Richmond restaurants, and, of course, the best DJs, hosts and tireless volunteers …

We’re thrilled that Kevin, who is on the Marketing Committee for WRIR, was able to lend a hand to one of, in Paste Magazine’s words, the “best little radio stations in the U.S.”

Richmond Independent Radio is a fresh new voice, on the air since January 1, 2005. We broadcast music you DON’T hear on the radio dial with live local DJ’s doing real live shows. In addition to our locally produced music shows, we offer a wide range of National and Local news programming that covers issues unrepresented by other media.

WRIR is a true community radio station.

  • We are locally owned, and by charter can never be bought out by any non local entity.
  • The station is operated by volunteers from the Richmond community. Our staff consists of your neighbors playing music, sharing news and operating the station.

Thank you for listening.
