Groveling and a Project

Oh hey, it's only August. I only haven't updated since June. No biggie, right?

(Please forgive me. Please. PLEASE!)





So what's been going on? Pffft, a lot. I recently accepted a new position at a fantastic small agency in Columbus called Mlicki. I wrapped up my work with another great Columbus agency, Ron Foth Advertising. In the meantime, I've been working with some wildly cool freelance clients. I have one big project finishing up in a few days, so you just wait!

These are super fun die-cut cards I had the pleasure of working with Igloo Letterpress to design. You can find the butterfly here and the birdie here. They also come in 10 packs. Awesome. We're working on a few other things with these little guys, so don't think you've seen the last of 'em.

How is everyone? Still kickin'? Here's hoping. It's summer time. Go jam to some Pete Townshend.

A Dangerfield Kind of Tuesday

This past weekend was spent at the beach* with my family. I was mostly incapacitated during the trip due to a knee injury**, but it was still a blast. The photo above is three generations of my family.


Another pattern I finished up for fun.


And lastly, good music for your Tuesday afternoon. I came across Gregory Alan Isakov from his designer, Justin Fuller's website. Two seriously talented dudes.

The house is extremely chaotic today (always), so I'm doing my best to hanker down in the quieter areas (currently limited to bathrooms and the back porch).

*Not the beach. Just a beach. In Ohio. Which isn't much of a beach at all really... but hell, we're from the Midwest, we take what we can get!

**Our dear sweet dog ran into yours truly at full speed... where upon I fell directly onto my ass (ouch)... and in the process twisted my knee (double ouch).

Orange You Glad?

I haven't been to California, but when I imagine it, it's quite nice. I'm in a really coastal mood today and needed a break from thinking about serious things, so I made a few patterns. (Here's one!)


And this song? Well. It's perfect for trying to imagine how nice it is in California right now.


Also, can I just tell you how much I love wikemedia commons? It's not much to look at on the outside, but it's chock full of good stuff, I promise. The original image I used for this was found there.
