Dun-dun DUH-D-DAAA! My website is up! I don’t know when I would have gotten this done if my English class hadn’t forced me to work on it. It’s not perfect yet, I really hope I’ll be able to get some better picture up over Christmas break and then I think it would ten times better.…

Englishing + Designing
Where being and English major and designer collide: the book cover. Carissa showed me Alexander Budnitz‘s very neat book cover archive. I insist you go there and relish some good design and some good books. Isn’t there just something about old books that is intoxicatingly beautiful? This one is by Paul Rand! Budnitz is the…
“Out of Sight” the movie
Lovely little movie. A different way of thinking. Hope it inspires you.
5: books I made
Once upon a time I had the published Friday Fives in the morning….Ah well. Here are some of the books I made for book arts last year: 01| Coptic stitch book. Burlap, cotton paper, linen thread, ink pen 02| Spectacle book (meteor shower). Black ink on black paper, paint, colored pencil. Coptic stitch. 03| Rhythms…
This is what sleep deprivation looks like
Here’s a long update of what happened this week. Read as much of it as fits your fancy I have Scottish Lit at 8:00 am on Tuesday and Thursdays. For me, 8am is inherently a difficult time to be awake, but when you have been deprived of sleep for as long and as consistently as…
Oh Ikea, I need you
One Pearl Button posted this I a few days ago, and isn’t it neat? It’s from an Swedish Ikea cookbook where all the ingredients are laid out like this. Lovely. To see all of them, go to the original site at Craft. I hope to someday go to an Ikea… In other news, Evan’s family…
Can you see what I see?
Look what I found! isn’t it just the bee’s knees? they’re little sport glasses that collapse into a little compact less than an inch thick! And they spring back open. I just had to have them. In my opinion, they were a little over priced at $5 at a consignment store, but they’re lovely. Good…
What I’ve been working on
Here’s some of the non-class related design I’ve been working on. I don’t know why they look so pixelated. Commissioned by the English department. [My “supervisor” (Dr. Knievel) on this has such a good eye. I wonder if if he’s a designer and he’s never told me. Or maybe I was rushing because I didn’t…
So lovely
Rifle Blog posted this and I thought it was amazing: FontCast #12 — Damon Styer from FontShop on Vimeo. If you liked this, you’d love this movie about building painters.
4025.2:Artist statement article, Part 2
This is just an addition to my last post and does not need to exist. I didn’t want to write it yesterday because I thought I had already rambled on for a disgusting amount of time. So, why did I bring out artists statements in the first place? I mean, yes, I’m a quasi-artist-student-mutant thing,…
