I came across this sweet, tasty, beautiful, saliva-inducing collaborative effort of totally tubular proportions last night, with just enough time for me to kick myself for not being flush enough with cash to be able to afford the $250 price tag (to add insult to injury, the price increased to $350 this morning). But not to say that it wouldn’t be worth every penny – this incredible collaboration between photographers Paolo Pellegrin, Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, Mikhael Subotzky, and writer Ginger Strand is totally blowing my mind to smithereens. The group traveled across the Southwest in pursuit of American identity and the ensuing documentation was manifest in an intense variety of radical resolutions including a few zines, postcards, prints, foldouts, posters, bumper stickers (yeah), and a group book. The variables were designed by Michael Aberman and Emmet Byrne of the Walker Art Center.
It’s a limited edition of 500, so grab a copy while you can. As for myself, I’ll be contemplating which limb to trade in for it…
Caught the preservation team cleaning the “Janitor” at the MAM. One of the perks of working in the basement.

Check out Santoso, too! He’s been messing around with some fun formal and conceptual experimentation lately. Worth a gander.

Chalk signage that I hand-lettered for the MIAD Union.
My good friend Chris just started a process blog for his work. He’s a super talented letterer and he’s currently in the process of re-drawing the titleboards in our student union. Check him out!
Just finished “RAW TUNES” – a mega-mix covering some of my favorite tunes I listened to in 2011. It’s a mixtape, not a mixer, so keep this in mind when decided whether or not to jump around from tune to tune. Full effect sinks in by sitting back and letting the songs take you on the journey they’ve already laid out for you.
If the volume is a bit intimidating for one sitting, consider these loose chapters:
Chapter 1 at song 1~Bumpz & Grindz
Chapter 2 at song 25~Summer in January
Chapter 3 at song 41~On a Lighter Note
It’s 55 songs and 3+ hours, so buckle up and enjoy!
Ladies and gentlemen – Maria Callas (HBIC) is now available for download and totally free! You can download it from my website here.
It’s fairly limited in its character palette and sometimes a little wonky in its tracking, but future editions might see the release of new characters and tighter anatomy (follow me for updates).
Also, if you happen to use the font in a project, let me know! I’d love to see what you do with it.
I plan on releasing a promotional booklet sometime within the next few weeks. Stay tuned and enjoy!
Finally finished the 48-page publication for the essay about Beyoncé and cultural appropriation I’ve been working on for a couple months now… ready to share and distribute within a few days!
