I have an addition to the alphabeard / beardface project (Z!) that I will post soon, but in the meantime I just wanted to share a great thing that happened for my little shop the other day: http://www.underconsideration.com/quipsologies/archives/september_2012/arminvit_15.php It was great exposure, our traffic increased sevenfold, and subsequent traffic has been great and diverse (via twitter, pinterest, ...
I designed a "Winter" themed mixtape, just in time for...Fall? Timing is a bit off. The cover: The back with the playlist: The finished product: The finished prodcuts: (bonus: when upside-down, the W looks like mountains...or an M).
It's my daughter's 2nd birthday pretty soon. Here's the invite. There will be a butterfly piñata. Yessss. (The address is fake...so no party crashers show up) I did one like this for my son on his 2nd, but the 2 was made of cars, airplanes, trucks, etc.

You may have already seen it there. On another note, my sister is in a documentary studies program at the New School and asked me to come up with a basic title ...
Last time I posted a link to my cargo collective site, it was in the mid-development phase. Now it is closer to done (until I pay up and add more projects and use my own domain name.) http://cargocollective.com/michaelallen It's pretty basic but I think it does the job. Take a look, explore, let me know if ...
I was playing some more with the upside-down mountain range and wanted to get some thoughts. How do you feel it's working without being masked in the triangle shape? Boring? Or better? So, this is not a real project, but I'm sort of staging it like an album cover. The triangle one needs type, and the ...
A new cast member has been added. X marks the spot, with a little space for a mouth. I should have kept this look for a few days. Next time....
Stephen and I had similar ideas on the bicycle theme. Somewhat.
