Friday, October 12th, 2007When I create work, I have a tendency to get excited and share it with the world immediately (unless it involves a client). The usual stance on ideas is that if you share them, people will ‘steal’ them and take credit. Do you really think that your idea is completely original? Or, is it based […]

Scruples: Judging A Book By Its Cover Part 1
Thursday, October 11th, 2007I hit a book sale at a library on the Oregon Coast this summer and though I don’t read novels, this cover was way too good to pass up. The typography alone was worth the dollar! I’ve yet to actually open the book, but I still keep a spot for it on my crowded bookshelf. […]

Shock of the New Part 2: The Pointiest Rainboots
Monday, October 8th, 2007They have no brand name stamped anywhere; the box they came in was nondescript; they were very expensive (for rainboots); and the comfort is unmatched. Purchased at Marmi in New York City. Worth every penny.

Here Comes the Rain: Hatley Nature Kid’s Raincoat
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007
