« Previous EntriesMy iCiNG Treats Are Live on GalaDarling.com!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008
Many months ago, I was asked by Gala Darling to whip up some designs for her online shop, iCiNG Treats. It’s been so hard keeping my mouth shut all this time, but they’re finally live!
As Gala says about iCiNG Treats:
Think of it as wearing a secret spy signal. It signifies your official nonpareil membership, as […]

2. Also, I just received two new typography books:
a. Type & Lettering by William Longyear;
b. Type by David Gates;
Both are of the vintage variety and the pages are composed of super cool alphabets though I mainly purchased them for the amazing covers!
3. I’ve just finished four new pieces […]
Ask Nubby #3: Time and Money Management for Freelancers
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Question:
I’m just starting to pick up odd design jobs here and there. I’m still in the midst of getting my degree, but I’m super excited to already be working in my field of choice! However, I feel ultra-lost a lot; especially when it comes to time management and pricing. Do you have any advice […]
The Return of Star and Stumptown
Sunday, April 27th, 2008My friend Star just visited me for a totally whirlwind weekend that included a day roaming Stumptown, a spur of the moment gallery tour in a big, white van courtesy of my favorite curator, late night wanderings and bus rides, and vanilla cake with fresh strawberries served at 2 a.m. by Lee Z!
After a long day […]
I *heart* Nemo!
Sunday, April 27th, 2008There was a portfolio event at Portland’s world famous stationary and supplies store, Office and though I couldn’t make it, a fellow Nemo-ite was on the panel and so thoroughly described my persona without mentioning me by name that I’ve had three interactions with people bringing it up to me!
Via Coroflot:
The designer from Nemo related a […]

Tools of the Trade: Lettering for Reproduction by David Gates
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
Yesterday, my copy of Lettering for Reproduction by David Gates showed up! Published in 1969, it covers everything you need to know about designing hand-lettered type (after all, this was the age before personal computers) and the content is based on Pratt Institute’s Dept. of Advertising Design and Visual Communication Lettering Course from that time.I […]
Ask Nubby #2: 13 Steps to a Successful Blog-Based Business
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008
Question:
I’m hoping to take my community and move it to an actual domain in the next few months and expand it into an online magazine, blog and general artist resource on the web. Any tips on transforming a site into something like this? The business side of it is the part that I am […]
Modern Baroque Art Added to Nubbytwiglet.com Store
Sunday, April 20th, 2008I’ve decided to add some original art back into the online store as much of the Modern Baroque series has made the rounds to three solo shows and I need to free up space to continue work on my show this July.
All work is 1/1 edition and either on wood or ceramic. Each piece is […]
My Dries Van Noten Boots
Sunday, April 20th, 2008They were in my size and 55% off. It was meant to be. The softest leather and sturdiest soles; my feet are very happy.

Portfolio Revision #3: Saint Cupcake
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Disclaimer: Although it’s true that Portland’s Saint Cupcake produces the best cupcakes in the world, I am simply a faithful connoisseur of their products and I am not affiliated with them in any way!
This was originally a first year design project that required my class to choose a local company and develop a new logo and […]
Ask Nubby #1: The Best Typography Resources
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Question:
What are your favorite sources for fonts? I’m a total font junkie who’s always on the hunt for new ones to add to my collection.
There are so many resources for typography these days! Should you pay or go the free route? Do the free sites offer the same quality?
Great for a quick project […]
Tools of the Trade: Jan V. White Books
Sunday, April 13th, 2008The author I credit with teaching me the most about design is Jan V. White. A former art director at Time-Life, he’s written more than a dozen books on visual techniques focused in publishing. The best part about his books are the sketchy images (no fancy, computer-generated pictures here)! Instead of huge, wordy paragraphs, […]

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Last year, one of my classes combined all four departments of our Integrated Media department and we spent the semester developing a new ad campaign for the college.
