10 Questions: Sidney Interviews Nubby Twiglet

Monday, March 31st, 2008

A fellow reader named Sidney recently contacted me with ten questions for a class project and I thought I’d share. Thanks Sidney for asking some really thoughtful questions, many of which haven’t been asked before!

1. (sidney): How exactly did you go from a Business Administration major to a freelance graphic designer? What were […]

EFF YOU MOTHER EFFER Shirt

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Lee Z desiged The ‘EFF YOU MOTHER ‘EFFER shirt and it changed my life. I used to feel so plain, so ordinary, but the second I slipped this shirt on, my looks improved dramatically (see below). Yes, the shirt caused my nose to grow and a huge black mustache to sprout. Awesome!

Adult sizes of […]

John Fluevog Krista Boots

Friday, March 28th, 2008

On Monday, I became the proud owner of these boots. I’ve already owned a pair of Fluevogs for a few years (my mod white boots) but I’ve been searching for some basic tall black boots with a relatively flat, walkable sole for quite some time.
One night, I noticed these in the sale section of the […]

1. Calendar: The month of April from my self-designed calendar can be downloaded here. I’ve been using mine in a CD case for display and it’s working out great!

2. Solo Art Show: A few days ago I got an offer for a solo art show this July. That means that the entire Black & White Graphic […]

Spring Outfits for Every Mood

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Spring is here and though it’s still chilly here in Portland, the days are getting longer and slowly but surely, everyone is coming out of hibernation! When I think of spring, bright colors initially come to mind. With winter dressing, it’s easy to pile on the dark layers and blend in (which I’m totally guilty […]

The Cult of Nemo

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

A few weeks ago, I showed up to Nemo Design and noticed that a fair amount of the employees were wearing white…a lot of white.
Seems I missed the memo that we were all going to be part of a shoot in the new white photo studio and the final portrait would be given to Judy, […]

Style Defined: Schoolgirl Necessities

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Over the last year, I’ve become a big fan of schoolgirl style and there’s also been a huge resurgence of the look on the runways in the last few seasons. Cute and intellectual, the look is appealing for both its accessibility and whimsical nature. The prevailing style of today is not a direct take on […]

What I Wore: 3.16.08

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Downtown Austin, 3.16.06
I just got back to Portland and though our vacation was fun, it’s so nice to be home! We got stopped in the airport security line in Austin last night and I started getting paranoid that we’d done something wrong, but after searching Lee’s bag, all they confiscated was a cup of vegan pudding!
Cardigan, Field […]

SXSW Austin, Texas: Sights and Snapshots

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Austin has been a great experience, though the Summer-like weather here is throwing me for a loop! After working a booth at Flatstock for two days and spending last night at a crazy warehouse party, Monday was spent exploring the city, hanging out at the hotel pool and doing some vintage shopping.
Flatstock was so much fun; […]

Shirt, Mad Pakyderms (will be available online soon!)
Jeans; Levi’s
Knit beret, F21
Boots, John Fluevog
Excuse the long face- I had just finished sitting at a booth for six hours. Austin has been a total whirlwind of fun including running into old friends, selling lots of merch, eating Mexican food nonstop and soaking up the Summer-like weather!

Link Love: 3.13.08

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

1. One Page Magazine takes a host of mainstream mags including Vogue and National Geographic and boils their advertisements down to one page. The French Vogue piece is particularly shocking because the black ink nearly covers the entire page with 200+ overlapping logos!
2. I’d like to book a room here, pretty please. (via ruby press).
3. My […]

Mercy Corps Phoenix Fund 2008 Book Design

Monday, March 10th, 2008

For the last month, I’ve been working on a 32-page book for the Mercy Corps Phoenix Fund 2008 Donor Trip. My graphic design teacher is friends with photographer Joni Kabana who recently went on a Phoenix Fund trip to India and Nepal.
Armed with her amazing photos and corresponding blog posts, we each set out to create […]
