STIFFED

CROOKED MEDIA

In 2023, I co-designed the podcast key art for Crooked Media’s limited series “Stiffed” alongside fellow artist Zevvy Danford. “Stiffed” tells the story of Viva, a ground-breaking erotic magazine for women published by porn king Bob Guccione in the 1970s, and the feminist writers behind it. Zevvy and I collaborated on the artwork concept, with Zevvy providing the final illustration. For the title, we landed on an extruded, 1970s-masthead-style logotype.
