Isn’t It About Love?

The insight­ful truths of Keith Olbermann.

Daphne: Unrequited Love

So I finally heard from the gallery this week. The exhi­bi­tion is October 2031. I’m excited, but also a lit­tle stressed. I still have quite a bit of work to fin­ish up, but things are close. I’ll be prepar­ing the poster/​​specimen for press this week­end. I’ll also be tak­ing my cam­era with me to cat­a­logue the print­ing process and […]

2 in 2

I’ve received two notices within the last two days that I’ll be fea­tured in two pub­li­ca­tions: 1. Graphis New Talent Annual and 2. Design School Confidential, by Stephen Heller and pub­lished by Rockport (I’ll keep you posted when it’s avail­able). Between the two pub­li­ca­tions, 10 of my 12 class­mates will also be fea­tured. I’m just […]

Type History

Typhotheque, a foundry based in the Netherlands, just released a pretty inge­nious sys­tem of dis­play fonts that span the course of type his­tory. It’s called History. Check it out.

Exhibitionism

The time is rapidly approach­ing for me to show my stuff. Daphne: Unreciprocated Love is finally sched­uled to hang at the BYU Harris Fine Arts Center at the end of October. Now the time crunch begins. Knowing how I respond to tight dead­lines I’m hop­ing that this will moti­vate me to get more done than what […]

Whoosh!

That’s the sound of nearly two months fly­ing by with­out a sin­gle post. So here’s a quick update about what I’ve done. The move went very well. Austin and I are pretty set­tled now, with lots of odd jobs in the queue. We’ve already made new cur­tains, a table cloth and place mats. The next project is a lit­tle more […]

On Capitol Hill

As of 10 July 2008 Austin and I have re-​​​​addressed our liv­ing arrange­ments. We’ll now be liv­ing in a mar­velous house (con­verted into a triplex) upon on Capitol Hill. We’ll be offi­cially moved-​​​​in by the end of the month. Woohoo!!. And here are some pic­tures of the empty house. I’ll post more as we get things settled.

Humdrum

Ebbs and flows seem to appear in every aspect of my life. The last few months have been event­ful and tran­si­tional with so many new and inter­est­ing things hap­pen­ing, that I have neglected to acknowl­edge how won­der­ful the hum­drum can be. Moments of ‘silence’ really do help me appre­ci­ate the ‘sound’, and they offer more clar­ity of pur­pose and […]

Shaping Up Marua

After a brief hia­tus from design out­side of work, I’m back with some updates to Marua. I think she’s shap­ing up rather nicely, but of course still needs some touchups. I’m almost to point where I feel com­fort­able design­ing sup­port mate­ri­als for the exhi­bi­tion. As things get pro­duced I’ll make sure to post updates. I think there’s enough promise […]

Gradgumitation

After six years of school, I finally par­tic­i­pated in the pomp and cer­e­mony of grad­u­a­tion. My Mom and Dad flew in so it had to be a spe­cial occa­sion. Thursday night, after commencement—which I did not attend—the graphic design depart­ment hosted a lit­tle party for all the seniors, most of whom won’t actu­ally grad­u­ate for another 6 to 10 months. […]
