FERAL COLLAGE:
an art shop by Cameron Holly Dexter
design
It’s an honor to bring ideas to life through my art. I design everything from large-scale commissioned murals to cover art for brands and fellow creatives.
Here are a few of my favorite recent projects and collaborations.
01
Echoes of Time Milwaukie Historic City Hall Mural
Commissioned by the City of Milwaukie, this large-scale 600 sq. ft mural was designed as a visual tribute to the rich, layered history of the region and the people who helped shape it. Titled
"Echoes of Time: The Threads That Connect Us," the mural weaves together archival imagery, symbolism, and storytelling to reflect Milwaukie’s transformation over generations.
My role in this project involved deep historical research, creative direction, and the development of a collage-style mural that honors the city’s cultural heritage. I collaborated closely with local historians, city officials, and community members to source vintage photographs, many of which were licensed from local archives and museums, including rare images of Milwaukie-born female stunt pilot Dorothy Hester Stenzel. Special care was taken to respectfully represent Native American figures and other historically marginalized voices, ensuring that every image and element was thoughtfully placed.
The mural features several distinct zones, including the Memory Garden (featured above), where the faces of Milwaukie’s past quietly bloom into the present. These visual fragments were meticulously composed into a cohesive, emotionally resonant landscape that invites viewers to reflect on their own connection to the land, community, and collective memory. It stands as a public artwork and conversation piece, honoring both the known and forgotten stories that continue to echo through time.
This beer label was all about celebrating inclusivity, diversity, and the joy of summer. I aimed to create a design that reflects the vibrant, diverse spirit of the season and invites everyone to enjoy the great outdoors.

Lithology Brewing Tall Boy Label
I absolutely loved working on this project! Being selected as the designer for the limited edition Watermelon Ale released in the summer of 2023 was such a thrill.
03
ZZZ's Cover Art
Creating this cover for ZZZ's was so much fun. This amazing company is a champion of artists and I was over the moon when they approached me about collages for the front and back of a rolling paper booklet.
04
The Dive Online Magazine Cover
The Dive is an online magazine header for journalist Elizabeth McCafferty who's been published in New Yorker's The Cut, Vice, and The Guardian. Her Explore the Obscure page features stories ranging from alien abductees to professional ghost hunters.

"Gossip Girl Xoxo" by CerVon Campbell // Spotify Album Cover
Creating album and single covers for musicians is truly one of my favorite aspects of design! I had an incredible time working on this project with the talented artist CerVon Campbell. For his single "Gossip Girl XoXo," which is now available on Spotify, we crafted a vibrant and engaging collage that captures the essence of the track. Collaborating with CerVon was a fantastic experience, and I’m thrilled with how the cover art turned out. It was a pleasure to visually represent the energy and style of his music through this project.

"Joy First: The Unexpected Magic of Awakening your Inner Child" by Lorena Martinez
// TEDx TALK Presentation
The premise of Lorena's TEDx Talk was both inspiring and captivating, offering a unique opportunity to delve into the essence of her compelling message and life story. Designing visuals for her presentation was not just a task but a joyful exploration of creativity. We embraced a whimsical approach, aiming to capture the essence of Lorena’s message while adding a layer of visual intrigue and a sense of childlike wonder.
