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 […]

To continue the theme of November: Design Month, I found out in late October or so that Firebelly would be hosting their annual Holiday Pop-Up Shop to benefit their Reason to Give charity. After asking Dawn how I could help out, I have since spent the last month frantically crafting/designing away in order to have […]

Whew! What a marathon 2 weeks again. I have been hard at work on both a freelance project (an annual report) and on getting AIGA KC’s blog ready to launch a new series of interviews and articles. Unfortunately, the combo of the two have zapped all of my time the past couple of weeks: hence, […]

While in D.C., I managed to slip into the National Gallery for just one hour. Although they Do have little 1-Hour-Must-See maps, I figured I’d just hit up the West Wing for the time I was there. I grabbed as many photos as I could. A post will be coming later on S&D highlighting my […]

Today, my second post for Stickers and Donuts was posted: D.C. Pattern Inspiration. Here’s a bonus pattern that didn’t quite make the post:

…and late. Well that was extremely annoying last night. I’ll attempt to remember everything as I had it written. And my apologies for the absence of this column the past several weeks: hopefully this triple-stuffed edition will make up for it. (On a side note, I’m paranoid that I’ll lose the post again, so […]

It seems like everyone is doing lists these days, so not to be out-done, here’s a list of my favorite lists! (a bit of a cop-out, I know…but they had to be shared.)

The Design Cubicle’s 50 Brilliant Design Articles of 2008
TypeOff’s Twelve Memorable Type Occurences of 2008
Art Vinyl’s Best Vinyl Cover Art of 2008 (was glad to see Coldplay and […]

Well, as I mentioned yesterday, here is a little more about how this year’s cards were produced. In addition to taking me two years to finish, I also ran into a couple of snags. Below each picture are details explaining each stop along the way.

1) As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I was really […]

Aaaand, I’m back! Well, that was a nice little vacation, so now that the holidays are over and (most) everyone received their card from me, I can finally post about them without spoiling the surprise. I may be going about this a little backwards, but am going to post the final product today and the […]

Well, obviously I’m a day late, but it’s for a good cause: I printed the second to last screen on my Christmas cards last night (and finished tonight!). A post about them will be coming once they’re all mailed out (don’t want to ruin the surprise!).
But on to this week’s links: for the past several weeks, […]
