His clients list is impressive and includes big names such as: Time, Rolling Stone, GQ, The NFL, Nike, Lexus Sony/BMG, Island/Def Jam, and Universal Music to name a few. Tavis’ unique style is inspired by 1940s comic book art, the Russian avant-garde movement, and printed materials from the 1950s/60s. Over the years Tavis’ work has garnered many accolades, including top honors from The Society of Publication Designers, the Society of Illustrators, and American Illustration.

In 2005, Tavis was featured in the “Fresh” section of Communication Arts, was selected by Print magazine as one of “20 Breakthrough Talents Under 30”.
