New Sketchbook

I've found myself having a really hard time lately coming up with some new ideas of side projects to do. I bought a new iMac over the weekend last week, and am getting that all set up. But at the same time, I'm really struggling I feel with my creativity. I find myself looking outside ...

Something Said

So I hadn't made an announcement on the coop yet about this, but the poster that I'd entered into the Say Something Poster Project has made it to the final round of 25 posters. From here there are two poster shows, one in Boston on Feb 25th, and the other in Los Angleles on March. ...

Green!

Along the same vein as Micah's Hawaii CD mixtape that he did some time ago (awesome), I finished the artwork for the green themed mix last week. With the logo challenge, I wasn't able to show how the artwork turned out. I really wanted to show this as a work in progress along the way ...

Logo Friday

So I guess now it's my turn. It's been hard to not be influenced by everyone's great work. There are going to be some resemblance's, but hopefully I'll be able to explain the ideas behind them so those subtleties are apparent. Concept 1: This is somewhat similar to others, but I wanted to create a type ...

Arden’s Final Poster

So I've been working on the final poster of the six for my daughter's room. I wanted to play with the bird illustration that I had created for her mother's baby shower. The bird actually shows up frequently in other illustrations as well. Arden has started to recognize her bird, which for me, is really ...

Arden’s Posters II

A while back I posted some posters that I was going to put up in my daughter's room. I got some great feedback on them but wanted to give an update on where I was with a new one and some changes to the old. This new poster is a take on an old Sesame Street ...

Dark & Stormy

So the reason I had been making the El Bloque type was for this poster. I was tasked with creating a sort of info-graphic inspired instructional poster for a special drink at the happy hour that's held at my office. I looked at a lot of different ways of showing the separate pieces of the ...

El Bloque II

Okay, here is an update to the post from last week. I've done some additional work on both the E and F of the alphabet. There were other comments from you guys on other characters that you weren't too stoked about, but I am choosing to feign deafness on those. As creator, I think I ...

El Bloque
le_bloc_a

So working on a project in the office with a co-worker, I designed a typeface. Okay, so I'm nowhere near being done with the full set. I haven't started working on punctuation, special characters, or any other ephemera for it yet. I was working on a poster, and doing custom type for the characters that ...

MIA

Sorry I've been gone on vacation for the last ten days or so and didn't post anything. I had to get out of town for a sister-in-law's wedding, then stick around in Utah for Thanksgiving. It was an awesome trip, but it's nice to be back home in NYC. Micah, please don't give me detention ...
