Sketchbook : New Pen Fun

At the start of my internship I met an amazing little Japanese brush pen. These are just some things I did while getting acquainted with it.

Top reads : You're No Good
Bottom reads : So I Go (could've planned that one out a bit better)

Crafts : Cell Phone Charms

Sometimes, when I'm not doing homework (or in this case, working), I make things like these little guys.

On a sidenote, I was totally awesome and left my digital camera in Texas, and didn't realize until I was already in Kansas City. This would explain the poor documentation.

Time Life : Sneak Peek

The only image in existence of my TimeLife redesign on Animal Behavior. Hand drawn/painted type (of course) printed on vellum so that you could see the ink treatment I did on book cloth (that wasn't really even book cloth). I'd go further into detail about the concept, but it doesn't really matter at this point w/o visuals. They'll be a long time coming...

Sketchbook : Girls & Type

This is a little something I started during winter break and finished about 2 months ago? Either way, it was fun, and inspired by milk... or at least the type was. Hand drawn type is fun. What more can I say?

Side Project : Mail Me Art

Last year a friend sent me a link about an international art submission called Mail Me Art. I don't know where I found the time, but I pulled a painting out on a bubble mailer just before the postmark date. I got the email that they'd chosen me to be in the show/book last spring, and now I've officially been published.



Here's a scan from right before I mailed it:


See, graphic designers can paint too (if they want to).

Also, you can purchase the book here via Amazon.

Late : The End of Fall '08

My last project for 3-D Problem Solving was to create a pop-up card invitation for an existing museum exhibition– past or present. I thought about all the ones I had been to (and enjoyed), and the Met's blog.mode:addressing fashion exhibit got the OK.

These are just a few things that rounded out my Music Branding campaign for Hella:
1. Tees and a tote design / screen printed
2. Goodies / stickers and buttons
3. A fictional compilation CD of their stuff pre-vocals (Unfortunately the use of a clear CD did not lend itself well to the possibility of putting actual music on the disc, but it worked for the design.)

Hella Posters : The Real Deal

The first two are hypothetical shows playing in Austin for next year, and the last is just a band poster. I'd like to thank sketching and the wacom tablet for making it all possible.
