About Me

I did this poster for my friend's band Foot Village. : )

that's a poster i did for KUCI a couple of years ago... AileenHolmes.com

I design the graphics/embroidery for Hint Jeans. Previously, I designed t-shirts sold everywhere from mass market retailers like to tiny little boutiques. For kicks, I design my own line called Olivia Olive. It's mostly juniors t-shirts, but I've recently expanded to include greeting cards and buttons to my collection.

I make music with Gang Wizard!!! Whenever we play, I update my calendar w/show dates. Check out the Gang Wizard link in my top friends. I'm hoping to start working on other musical projects, though, I am admittedly wrapped up in so many other things!

Other things I do for kicks are treasure hunting, crafts, and dancing (soul, goth, 80s, etc). Let me know when you're up for getting your kicks out on the floor!
