And This Is A Video: Punk and GoGo Shorts
Below are drafts of a series that I am developing with the National Park Service. Influenced by the medium of YouTube Shorts, these videos depict me playing the drum beats to songs that were heard in DC-area parks. They also contain voice overs that tell stories of the bands, musicians, and general history of punk and gogo in the nation's capital. I am working on expanding this project to contain dozens of videos, hopefully featuring DC-area drummers who not only play their own music but provide their own oral histories.

And This Is A Rack Card: Malcolm X Park Drum Circle
I did not make design these. Credit goes to Elayna Speight, with whom I worked in conjunction to create these business cards that contain a little history of the Malcolm X Park drum circle. They are printed en masse and distributed amongst audiences and members attending the drum circle to instruct them in the Afrocentric roots of the gathering.
