Grinderman Coffee



Grinderman Coffee Roasts and Bicycle Delivers Coffee to homes and offices all over Chicago. Grinderman Coffee began when i converted a propane gas grill into a coffee roaster. I began roasting coffee and selling it at musical concerts i would play. I had recently sold my motorized vehicle and was adapting a new outlook of living. when i was asked how else the coffee could be purchased i decided to start delivering coffee by bicycle. Human Powered Coffee. Bicycle Delivered Coffee. Grinderman Coffee.

I am inspired by the power of the human being. Growing coffee is hard work. Buying Direct and Fair Trade Coffees from Coffee growers provides a more rewarding and direct relationship to both the grower and the roaster. Empowering the relationships between people can be the most rewarding thing in life. Grinderman Coffee extends the personal relationship you can have to your coffee by bicycle delivering freshly roasted, direct and fair trade coffees to your door.

Zerobird Studio


Screen printing on paper and fabric using all environmentally friendly inks and chemicals.

I started screen printing a few years ago to balance out an often frustrating job as an Art Director in the ad industry. Screen printing gave me the freedom to make things, lots of things, away from the computer, clients, and restraints. I'm still focused on selling what i create but with my screen printing the ultimate goals are just to either make people smile or to help spread a positive message.

The Chicago el series was inspired by a daily bike ride to work under the Pink and Green Lines on Lake Street. All images are created from photos taken while biking around the city, following each line and enjoying the views.
