Pretty excited to see the logo I designed for LiveOn on a racecar. And it won a race at Daytona!

The New York Times has a an article on it.

Support

New project! I was recently invited by Quite Strong to contribute a piece for a gallery show at the Chicago Artists Coalition based on the theme of support. For me, community and connectivity are some of the things that embody the idea of support – I created 3 patterns/illustrations taking inspiration from the support structures of notable bridges.


Each piece was fed through the inkjet printer multiple times to get a color layering effect. The golden gate illustration went through the printer 15 times.

Final printed pieces!

In 2011 I Will

2010 has been a great year– one that flew by. Great things were made, new experiences were had and I’m really looking forward to what 2011 will bring. About this time last year I created a new years resolution generator on an impulse. It’s a really simple site that shares ideas on what to do for the new year. Hundreds of people from all over the world submitted their resolutions. It was really uplifting to read what everyone planned to do. Some were really simple like, “Tap my feet”. Others were more involved like “Train to run a marathon”. All of them, though, were pretty similar – to do good, to improve and to somehow make a difference. Here’s to a new year! Happy 2011 everyone!

Over or Under?

On my way to the train station, I came across this ad for Cottonelle’s Roll Poll campaign. The sign encourages people passing by to vote if they have the toilet paper roll over or under. I thought it was nice way to keep people entertained while waiting for the bus. Oh, and I voted over.

A simple way to organize.

I’ve finally found a great simple tool to organize my day. I don’t know why I didn’t try this sooner.

Designed by Swissmiss and built by Fictive Kin, TeuxDeux is a simple browser app where you can create a list of  things that you have to do. It’s intuitive and very effective. Try it.

In 2010 I will…

Ah! Another year over and onto the next one. For me, January 1st always brings a feeling of anticipation and excitement.  Will this year be awesome? What will I accomplish?  Where will I be 365 days from now? Of course, it’s not fun to know the answers to those questions, but I’ve always thought that it’s good to set some goals for the new year (whether they’re big or small).

I’ve created a “Resolution Generator” – a collection of goals contributed by family and friends and from various sources on the world wide web. Clicking the “gimme more” button generates random goals from the overall collection.
