Logo Design: Lola London Photography
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007The lovely Lola London, an LA-based photographer recently commissioned me to design a one-color logo for her business. She wanted a logo that was clean, modern, and easy to drop onto a variety of surfaces (most importantly, as a watermark for her photos).
*Logo copyright 2007 Lola London Photography.
When developing a logo, there’s nothing wrong with keeping things […]
The Past Still Lingers in Astoria
Monday, November 26th, 2007One of the first things I noticed about Astoria is that the downtown area seemed quite large for a population of only 10,000 people. A hundred years ago, it was the second largest city in Oregon. Astoria’s past sometimes overshadows the present; the Lewis and Clark expedition spent time there and it was the first […]
The Back is Just as Important as the Front: Taking Pride in Artwork
Monday, November 26th, 2007Last year, I was watching an interview with Minimalist painter Brice Marden and the one thing that has stuck with me ever since is the way he described the importance of the back of a canvas. He said that he learned early on in his career from another artist in the New York art world […]

The Oregon Coast: Charming Beach Cottages
Sunday, November 25th, 2007
On the way to Astoria, we stopped in Cannon Beach (my favorite town along the Oregon Coast by far) and drove down sandy side roads, spying quaint little beach cottages. I snapped photos of my two favorites; both were slightly weathered and full of personality! The angles on the above roof made me think it […]
What I Wore: 11.22.07
Saturday, November 24th, 2007
Every time I am near Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast, it’s necessary to stop and pose next to this sea captain statue! Charming, isn’t he? Past evidence of this statue-posing tradition can be seen here and here.

A Dash of Color: Mini Collages

Unfortunately, I am getting ready for finals and some art shows all weekend, so I haven’t had a chance to get to the photos yet. In the meantime, here’s some color! About a year ago, I […]

Objects & Surroundings
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007I’m very particular about what I buy; I like being surrounded only by my favorite things. Overall, I prefer objects that are graphic and associated good memories.
1. My first pair of expensive shoes — the Kors Firebird wedges from a few years back. They were worth every penny, as they’ve made appearances on my business cards and […]
Tools of the Trade: Polaroid Camera
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007Before digital cameras, instant photo gratification was left to the trusty Polaroid. Polaroid’s Land Camera, the first instant camera available to consumers was released in 1947. Polaroid still sells a selection of instant film directly from their website, though it can be pricey and many of the older formats have been permanently discontinued, including the […]
Silliness, Taglines, and a Mini Vacation…

It’s not like I ever expected to get a job at Apple anyway….
This is my new introductory image on the ‘About’ page.

Taglines:
You can’t live without them (really!), but they seem mysterious, intangible, and impossible to dream up at times. I’ve been trying to come up with one for my blog, but I’m not so sure about […]
Shock of the New: Red Shoes
Sunday, November 18th, 2007I just got new red shoes that are a bit elfy (and a bit granny). They have cute little ruffled edges and teeny bows and feel like slippers. Get your own here from Urban Outfitters. It’s been super chilly here in Portland, so I’ve been wearing them around the haus with super monsterous H&M […]
