I'm hoping to start a short series of posts about the transformation process of us turning our new house into our new home. First off is what has become my studio, formerly a guest bedroom as shown below before we moved in. (Click to enlarge photos). Enter here. I was watching a lot of Mad Men when ...

It took longer than I thought, maybe 6 hours of sanding and 20 minutes of polishing, but it turned out really nice. I wasn't going for a brand new look; both because the time involved would of doubled and I wanted to maintain some of it's history. But if you see the before images it's ...

There's a great little furniture store in downtown SLC that refurbishes/repurposes old furniture called Urban Antiques. Last time I was there I spotted this little gem which had just come into the shop, a 1970's Castelli® chair. It's a great example of Italian mid-century modern furniture and I just had to have it.

Secondly, we're in the process of purchasing our first house, a 1923 Dutch Colonial located 15 minutes from my new job. Currently we're scheduled to close at the end of this month but ...

Hello again everyone! I'm back from the dead, in case you didn't notice. The last few weeks have been really intense. Something of a perfect storm between getting slammed at work, freelance ramping up, and health issues (first time in the E.R.). Nevertheless I've made it through and even have a little something I can ...

Before joining the co-op I only dabbled very lightly in what could be considered illustration. Then since joining I took the opportunity to explore the medium first with Doctor Who, then animals, and then portraits. I've now completed my first client-based project by illustrating an entire article for a magazine. I know that this isn't ...

After spending a week in Texas without hardly touching a computer you'd think I'd be well rested and ready to get back to work, the reality of course being that I've had late nights trying to catch up on my projects at work. Furthermore, my vacation wasn't very restful but it was fun. And warm. ...
