Since Friday is Halloween, which just happens to be my favorite holiday (followed closely by April Fool’s Day), I thought I’d share some fun Halloween links this week. But first, I want to give a big shout-out to Linden for unveiling her brand new site! She’s gotten her own domain and switched to WordPress! Congrats! […]

Ben Folds T-shirts
October 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments
So as promised, I’m posting how the Ben Folds shirts turned out. First, a little background. Back when I was in college, I was able to see Ben live for the first time when he performed on our campus. He had these awesome tour shirts at the time with his face and “Rock This Bitch” […]

Gocco Fabric Screen Issues Part II
October 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Alas! I think my first attempt at burning a screen is now officially a flop. When I left off my tale, I had attempted to burn my first screen: a PG-702 fabric screen flashed in 2 sections. The first section appeared to work best, but on closer inspection (Thanks, Violet!) I noticed that the carbon […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Max Kerning
October 23rd, 2008 · No Comments
Well, this is a day late, and I know that I’m behind on posting: the past couple of nights have been rather late ones. I’m going to try to get another post in tonight to update everyone on my Gocco attempt. But first, since I’ve been so behind on everything lately, this week’s weekly reader […]

Gocco Fabric Screen Issues
October 18th, 2008 · 7 Comments
So I was hoping that my first post about this would be a success story, but alas! I ran into problems with my first screen. A couple of months ago, I bought a used Gocco B6 off of eBay since they have discontinued them. This weekend was my first chance to finally use it, and […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Stop-Motion Heaven
October 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments
I’m not sure what triggered it, but I’m not upset with the abundance of stop-motion in my feedreader this week. So rather than sending you off on a link chase, I thought I’d curate a little animation festival: just scroll down!
Beached from Keith Loutit (Via Brand Flakes):
Minilogue’s Animals (seen on Design You Trust):
(Not exactly stop-motion, per se, but […]

Keane’s Keen Taste in Design
October 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments
So my sister sent me this link to Kanye West’s blog reviewing Keane’s latest album art, of all things. (Don’t ask me how she found it: I don’t think she listens to Kanye’s music.) Keane’s latest album was just released today, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it: especially after seeing this […]

Quick Link: Spelling Change
October 13th, 2008 · No Comments
I’m attempting to be non-partisan on this blog, but this is just such a fun site, that I couldn’t help but post a quick link. (even though it’s not Wednesday)
Spelling Change works a lot like the link I posted a few Weekly Readers ago, only it uses letters created by designers inspired by Obama’s campaign. […]

Doodles and an Update
October 9th, 2008 · No Comments
I need to post the rest of my Chronicling Memories series, but first have to take more photographs. So I should be back to that this weekend. In the meantime, I thought I’d share a couple doodles I did for a template I’ve been working on this week.
I’m really happy with how these turned out, […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Fall Booklist Part 2
October 9th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve been overwhelmed with the number of great books that just keep popping up…that, and I realized I’d forgotten a few on last week’s list. Hence the continuation. But before I get going, an important announcement: It Came!
This past weekend, I got the book I won from Johno over at iLT: Designing Books. It’s marvelous! […]
