Seven Day Itch

Forgive me interwebs, for I have slacked. It has been seven days since my last blog post. This is what I’ve been doing: Trying to get up early and run/walk (ralk?) for at least 20 minutes in the morning. I managed to make it happen four of the last six days, so…we’ll see. Working on the next issue of Style Sample magazine. For some reason, putting it together doesn’t get easier. Catching up on “The...

How to create a simple text logo

Reading this post on Before&After reminded me of something that’s been bugging me lately: bad logos. Look at number 5. Now look away quickly, then look again. Yep.

I attended an AIGA event about the future of design on Thursday evening (possibly more on that later), but I arrived at the fashion show just in time...

Inspired by the Future Blooms

The #CFW saga continues… Micah from PB&J PR invited me to “Inspired by Anne,” an exhibition honoring the work of fashion illustrator Anne Wainscott. Anne did a lot of work for Shillito’s Department Store (which became Lazarus before being purchased by Macy’s) back in the day, and many of her drawings look just as fresh today as they did then. Micah was a sweetheart, and I would rock that suit from the illustration tomorrow if...
