Yesterday morning, I wanted to wear something festive to Ada’s Technical Books’ Tolkien Reading Day, but I don’t really have any costumes. I did have a black shirt and some acrylic paint.

My friends and I went to Crater Lake for a cabin get away. Lots of fun. My friend mentioned she scrapbooks for her friends, but not for herself. I thought I’d give her a little graphic designed treat. InDesign is a scrapbooker’s friend, but it also changes the product. It’s not really scraps. It’s smooth…

I love greeting cards. I was surprised by the design I created doodling on this card. So festive! I put it into Adobe Illustrator and edited it a bit…

I was getting a little nostalgic for graphic design school. Where a little over a year ago, I was a part of two brainstorm sessions where we came up with the concept for the promotional video for the portfolio show. The foundation of these sessions were word association techniques. The theme for the portfolio show…

There was this trend on Facebook going around where you would invite people to make art and in return you’d make art for them. Two people responded and two paintings were sent out into the world. Each included a card that said “Make art.”
