Not only is the film an excellent retrospective of American rock poster design, but the director, Merle Becker was on hand with local poster artists, Jay Ryan, Mat Daly, Steve Ryan, and Jim Pollock, to […]

If you’ve been a long-time reader of this blog, you may have noticed me hinting here and there about getting to work on exciting projects that I’m not able to post about until they go live. This past week, Kansas City’s own Hallmark Cards kicked off their year-long centennial celebration: something I have been bursting […]

When I was laid off a couple of months ago, there were about 14 people who lost their job during that round of layoffs.

I just saw that my recycled business cards I posted about last week are currently featured on The Design Cubicle! Brian held a call for entries for his post on 50 Creative Business Cards of 50 Graphic Designers, and mine was chosen as one of them! I’m in excellent company too: among them is former […]

Well, today I set up my Flickr page. This is actually my second attempt at Flickr: the first time I used it was for sharing photos while living in Germany. While that worked great for family and friends, I didn’t keep it up once I moved back. So now my second attempt is going […]

My good friend, Jen, just let me know that she finished updating her Portfolio Blog this week. Jen’s awesome to collaborate with: we partnered on a lot of projects while working together (including the below project for Hallmark that I posted about several months ago). In any case, she’s now a full-time mom, but still […]

I feel like every other post has been about Linden lately. Ha! But I simply can’t hold off on posting this any longer. This past weekend, Linden launched her full site at LindenAMueller.com! So a HUGE congrats goes out to her for not only finishing the site, but doing an excellent job of it…if […]

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, and […]
