IF I EVER KILL MYSELF…

I will use one of these to do it. Click it…

LIFE AS A GIANT

Maybe I should just start a blog of awesome things I find at the grocery store. It seems to be a trend. How can I help myself when I find something like this that combines two of my favorite things: chocolate milk and things that make me feel like a giant.

LUCHA-BANANA

These new stickers chiquita is making are amazing. I found myself choosing my banana based on which one I liked best. It was the Luchador, of course.

“I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS ILLEGAL TO BE BLIND”

My buddy max made this short mockumentary about his father. It needs to be seen.

PROCESS SHMOCESS

Here are some things:

I did this poster for the Doug Fir through the C4D (Center for Design), PNCA’s working design studio. The idea with these rock posters, I’ve found,  is go nuts, don’t think to hard about it, and get the attention of the masses. That’s the definition of high design, right? look for these on your local telephone pole.

Save the date! I designed these “save the date” cards for my good friends, Chris and Ali. That’s what the kids are doing these days. Everyone’s saving dates left and right. Frankly, I don’t understand it, but it’s more jobs for me, so I can’t complain. The design process is pretty similar to what I described above, with the addition of “get bride’s approval” on the end of it. I should also mention that these were beautifully silk-screened by Portland’s own Seizure Palace. I highly suggest you consider taking advantage of their services. They do exceptional work. I appreciate it even more now that I am doing a lot of screen printing myself. I set up a pretty insane design, as far as registration goes, and they nailed it. Sorry for the crappy photo. A better one will be posted somewhere.

ALSO: You should definitely check out the latest threads over at the Green Hill. Definite Christmas present possibilities. Who knew hoodless sweatshirts would make a comeback?

THE LANDING SESSIONS PREVIEW

So maybe you didn’t know, but I’m part of a musical group called the Nandertys. The band is made up of myself, Chris Nye, and Alex Landers. Our debut album is titled The Landing Sessions, taking its name from the small landing at the house we call the Brosidence where we recorded all of the songs. check out thenandertys.com and click on my face to hear a preview track.

KING KHAN AND BBQ SHOW POSTERS

One band. Three posters. Three genres.

“ART”

Haven’t posted in a while. I wanted to share this with you guys. It is a woodblock reduction print I did in my beginning print class I am taking. woodblock, for me, is basically an all out war between my clean  aesthetic taste and the gritty medium. A lot of them didn’t turn out, but I liked this one in particular.

FRESH FRENCH SHORTS

Some of the fruits of my Film Center labor: The Fresh French Shorts Poster. I’m told this went to print today. The center is showing contemporary French short films next Friday. Come ready to have your ideas about french film to be shattered. More info…

ALL GROWED UP

My sister sarah just started college and she needed a poster for her dorm room wall. I made her this lovely portrait of the family dog, Sophie.
