Quality vs Quantity

I had the pleasure of once again publishing a piece for the Read & Trust Newsletter this morning – of which you might be interested in signing up for – which triggered my thinking that it’s probably OK if I actually share some of my previous work I’ve submitted for it. Maybe the statute of…

Iggy Peck, Architect

I mused my love for An Illustrated Guide a few months ago but sadly it’s been a bit neglected since then. Figured I’d steal their thunder and post one I found this week at the library for Cohen who initially didn’t want to check it out but has since requested it back-to-back-to-back on a number…

An Illustrated Guide

Yes, it’s a post about more illustration-type stuff. No, that’s not the sole focus of this online journal but one more consecutive post might push us over the edge. An Illustrated Guide is a fun little single-serving blog I’ve been following for a bit that serves as a mini book-review of illustrated childrens’ books. Both…

Lotta Nieminen – Illustrator

I’ve been pretty fascinated with certain types of illustration as of late and the work of Austin-based designer, Thomas Guy fits the bill nicely. I’ll do my best to not put his entire portfolio here.

Transport for London

I’d take one of these Studio Coward pieces in print form if they were handing them out. Heck, I’d even pay for it if they decided to sell them. Bonus: The entire piece is a repeating pattern. I was skeptical too so I tested it.

Halloween: The New Yorker

I haven’t decided yet if this is just a great satirical illustration or a sad and exposing view of what we have become. This Saturday we will be taking the kid out for a trick-or-treating excursion and my hope is that I can refrain from being exactly what the illustration infers – worried more about…

The New (Media) Workout Plan

Illustrator Patrick Moberg built a workout plan tailored to his Internet usage. Although I may change one or two of the sites out, I could see this being a benefit. “In Essence: burn some fat, not yo’ brain” The New (Media) Workout Plan
