The past year saw a lot of quite high-profile rebrands that received a very cold, if not hostile reception. Generally, this isn't something that is particularly unusual—at least among the design community at any rate. What is of note is the degree to which the average observed from outside of …

I had a lot of fun designing the holiday card that I sent out this year. It's a merging of my print work and some of the ideas that I explore in type and design. Usually holiday cards are such a chore, since nearly everything has been done before. This …

A quick scan of my last.fm page reveals that I have—shall we say—distinguished taste. I don't kid my self though. I'm very aware that I cast a pretty narrow net where music is concerned, and I'm pretty opinionated about other music. The reason that I'm doing this list, however, is …

Happy Day! Today marks the overhaul of the blogfolio. It's something that I've been wanting to do for a while now, but once it gets down to it, I'd rather create new work than tweak the presentation of work that I've already done. My aim was to integrate everything that …

Quick heads up: I have work at the Nave Gallery's December Salon. For those not 'in the know,' it's a great show with a ton of art. Everything is on sale for less than $400, so if you're in the market for new work for the apartment or looking for …

I really like technology. It's a pretty awesome thing, as a whole. I am not, however, and early adopter. Possibly it's a commitment issue, but the thing is that I just don't want to get burned. I suppose this would be fine, if I wasn't so concerned with also being …
