Although I’ve been a long-time fan of Letterform’s work, it wasn’t until last spring’s Typeforce event and a another subsequent gathering that I met the duo behind the company: Andy and Julie. Visiting with them, you’re just as likely to discuss letterpress printing as home-brewing beer and a good dinner recipe…which is convenient as they […]

July 15th found me once again in The Post Family’s Family Room for another show opening. This time, the show was Cantankerous Hellfighter, a collaboration between gig poster giants Delicious Design League and Aesthetic Apparatus. As you probably already know, I’m a huge DDL fan. Jason and Billy are really great people in addition to […]

As I mentioned in Wednesday’s Weekly Reader, this past week I was invited back for this year’s Camp Firebelly’s End of Camp Party. It was great to see everyone again! And for the few of you who weren’t able to make it for one reason or another, just know that you were very much missed! This […]

I can’t believe it has already been a year since I finished participating in Firebelly Design’s 2nd Annual Camp Firebelly. Last night was the End of Camp party for this year’s charrette, and I am amazed at how much my life has changed in the last 12 months. I’ll be back later this week with […]

So this week’s Weekly Reader is a special weekend edition…mostly because Wednesday was dedicated to celebrating the Blackhawk win with the rest of Chicago. Until living in Germany, I had never given soccer much attention. But that summer, Germany hosted the 2006 World Cup and Nuremberg was one of the host cities. To say the […]

Ok, so I realize it’s not actually Wednesday, but it’s been a busy week! In any case, I figured that I would try something new with my event recap for last Friday’s We Are Family opening at Post Family. The show, which was a part of AIGA Chicago’s Design Week, featured emerging artists/designers and great […]

This year is sure flying by fast: it seems like I just made these resolutions, and here it is May already! With a third of the year behind us, I thought I would share how I’m keeping up with them this year. Be More Disciplined in How I Use My Free-Time This one is rather hard […]
