Seeing American Artifact recently really made me want to add to my concert poster design collection. So for this week’s Weekly Reader, I thought that I would share a few of the designers who are on my wish list. (You also might want to keep this handy if you intend to shower me with gifts […]

In keeping with February’s theme of inspiring creatives, I give you 3 typographers that I have been digging over the past year. If only I were as good at typography as these lovely ladies. You’ve probably heard of or seen them before, so I’ll just let their work speak for them:

Last year, I started a new tradition for myself by setting Design Resolutions for the year. After giving it a lot of thought the past 2 weeks, I think I am finally ready to set this year’s resolutions in stone. So, without further ado, here are they are:

The past month was a blur of working, getting ready for the holidays, and travel, but the kickoff to all of the fun and mayhem was the Firebelly Holiday Shop. As I mentioned last month, I contributed a booth showcasing embroidered goods and illustration prints/postcards. I was really excited that my good friend and fellow […]

Well, tonight I headed over to Firebelly with all of my wares to set up my little table for their Pop-Up Holiday Shop. Unfortunately, (fortunately?) I bought a car last week, so between car hunting and Thanksgiving I wasn’t able to finish all of the projects I had planned. That said, the ones that I […]
