1. Skelliewag explains that if we find our flow, the money will follow.
2. The New York City Transit Authority Graphic Standard Manual is so well designed! Of course, you can’t go wrong with a red binder stuffed with pages covered in Helvetica. (via draplin)
3. Tricia of bits and bobbins always gets us thinking! This week she wonders, […]
What I Wore: 4.29.09
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009I’m totally in love with this super basic Forever 21 tank dress. For some reason, I didn’t buy it when I saw it while vacationing in Honolulu and it’s been on my mind for the last two months. I finally tracked it down again at a random Portland mall and am digging the […]
The Typofiles #15
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009I adore vintage typography books. This type reference book from 1973 is by David Gates. Besides containing a glossary of basic type terms and examples, it also has samples of over 850 typefaces to peruse. Instead of being grouped by name, they are grouped by style category (serif, sans serif, old style, etc). This was […]
Flashback: Heat Of Summer, 2007
Monday, April 27th, 2009Heat of Summer was a quick collage series that I did on hardboard during the summer of 2007. In a way, it was a practice run before committing fully to Modern Baroque.
After the whirlwind that was three solo shows last year, I took six months off but have finally felt the urge to dive back into […]

What I Wore: 4.24.09
Saturday, April 25th, 2009This cat print top was one of the first things I ever bought at Forever 21 a few years ago and it’s perfect for the very summery weather we’ve been having here in Portland. And, the key necklace was a gift from Star. There’s only a few in existence and when you flash them, you […]
The Week in Pictures: 4.24.09
Friday, April 24th, 2009Yes, dreams do come true. Yes, that necklace does say Helvetica. And, you can get your very own right here courtesy of Star.
The thrifting gods were very, very good to me this week. Besides scoring the amazing Galliano Gazette scarf, I found these Sigerson Morrison Rain or Shine rubber flats in my size for a […]
Link Love: 4.23.09
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
1. The creator of Comic Sans speaks out.
2. High end designers are rebelling against steep department store discounts that are slashing their profit margins.
3. Attention shopaholics! Urban Outfitters is offering free shipping on all U.S. online orders through April 27th at midnight. Just enter OHSHIP while checking out.
4. Do you participate in the famed Things I Love […]
Easing Into An Updated Corporate Identity
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009I just realized that my business cards are getting low and excitedly placed an order for the updated design today. Did I mention that graphics for the new version have been finished for over a month?
When reworking a pre-existing Corporate Identity, one of the most common misconceptions is that all of it will go into […]
What I Wore: 4.22.09
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Hello! I’m feelin’ a little Sergeant Pepper crossed with 80s-era Michael Jackson today. Like many of you, I found the Spring 2009 Balmain RTW collection to be totally stunning, but with some of the key pieces checking in at over $11,000.00, the reality of ever owning an authentic piece became laughable. Thank god for Target. […]
What’s In My Bag: Spring 2009
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009What’s in your bag? What you carry inside of your bag says a lot about you; it really is an extension of your personality. Even though it’s a bit voyeuristic, I love seeing what other people have hidden away in their bags. The color combinations, items and level of organization can speak volumes.
Every six months or […]
The Typofiles #14
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009♥ Everyone loves ampersands and this ad is one of my all-time favorites. View The Typofiles set on Flickr here.

2009 Portfolio
Monday, April 20th, 2009My 2009 portfolio is now available for download! Unfortunately, I had to leave out most of the client work that I’ve developed over the last year since much of it hasn’t been released. I’ve been lucky to design some new product lines, apparel graphics and blogs and I’ll be posting details on all of these […]
Galliano Gazette Newsprint Scarf
Monday, April 20th, 2009Being a total typography nerd, I love to carry over elements into my wardrobe whenever possible. When I walked into a thrift store this weekend, I already knew that I’d hit the jackpot from 15 feet away. I immediately recognized the iconic newsprint pattern and Galliano, Galliano, Galliano! was going through my mind. The best […]
What I Wore: 4.17.09
Friday, April 17th, 2009Okay, let’s get this out of the way right now. These jeans are from Walmart. I loathe Walmart with a passion, but one late night earlier in the week, Lee needed copy paper. And, I ventured into the wild fluorescent lit unknown with him. Then, I spotted my dream jeans…for twenty dollars. I had to […]
Link Love: 4.16.09
Thursday, April 16th, 2009
1. 270 high resolution and grungy Photoshop brushes are up for grabs!
2. On Is This Your Luggage?, the person who runs the site collects lost luggage, photographs its contents in detail and then attempts to find its rightful owner(s). Oddly voyeuristic!
3. Jane from Sea of Shoes was just filmed for a news spot and it’s really cool […]
American Eagle Laser-Etched Presentation Box
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009One of the coolest projects that I ever got to work on at Nemo was this laser-etched wood presentation box. Some designers don’t enjoy working with teams but for me, it’s one of my favorite things. The collaboration that takes place is super inspiring when you mix a hugely varied group of personalities. I love […]

What is Your Definite Major Purpose?
Monday, April 13th, 2009I know that I’ve talked about Think and Grow Rich before, but it deserves another mention. Written by Napoleon Hill in 1937, the information contained within these pages is priceless. If you’re going through a rough patch or are just looking for some much needed inspiration, I highly recommend reading this book.
One of the most important […]
The Week in Pictures: 4.10.09
Friday, April 10th, 2009On Tuesday, I found myself in the midst of a photo shoot with my brother in an amazing mid-century modern home tucked into the hills of Portland.
I instantly fell in love with the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and beautiful view.
My bulletin board also got some new layers of inspiration. Visions of color!
The Nubby household™ gained a new, slightly bizarre […]
