Some new personal work that will be featured on Gerald & Cullen Rapp’s holiday tote bags thins year.

This map of Wash Park, circa its haunted years, was done to promote Scream Scram, a Halloween inspired 5k run/walk in Denver’s Wash park. Proceeds from Scream Scram go towards helping the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver do what they do best, help the kiddos.

Various characters will be pulled out and used on t-shirts and other items.
