transatlantic design



Yesterday, I spent part of a very summery afternoon with two students from the University of Brighton, UK, (Millie Davies and Bronwyn Opland, above) who are here in New York for a month-long research project. Along with two colleagues, they are conducting interviews with American designers, illustrators, art directors, teachers and students comparing our two design education systems, and how they effect designers in their careers. I look forward to seeing their project progress. Ultimately, they would like to publish their findings in a book. You can read more about it on the Transatlantic Design website.

artafacta: kemasutra


I'll leave it to you to figure out what this month's word means. Well...I wasn't going to draw people; my mother reads this blog! Proceed at your own risk to the Artafacta site.

artafacta: juegoista


Here’s my submission for this month’s Artafacta online fanzine. “J” is for “juegoista.” If it were really a word, it would mean “game egoist.” To see the complete issue, go to the Artafacta website.

book-by-its-cover @ the mocca festival

I’m blushing! One of my favorite blogs featured my MoCCA table today. If you've never seen book-by-its-cover.com, you're in for a real treat. It's a great place for people who love gorgeous books, typography, design, and illustration to lose several hours perusing it's pages. Thanks to my pal Rachel Allison (illustrator extraordinaire) for introducing me to it over a year ago, and for alerting me to today's posting! Having my work photographed on the same page as Seth (one of my idols) and Tom Gauld (Tom Gauld!) is a great thrill!

my MoCCA sandwich factory



The other day I turned my kitchen into a silkscreen studio/sandwich factory in preparation for the MoCCA festival this weekend. Just to clarify my earlier posting, the sandwiches I'm offering aren't edible, but hopefully they will be a feast for the eyes. (Okay, maybe that was a little much, but I've been on my feet for two days squeegeeing ink.)

See my previous blog entry for details about MoCCA, such as location and times. Oh, and I'm at table #403.

If you look at the second photograph carefully, you'll notice how flippant I've become about my work as it appears in print...a happy accident really. Don't they look like they're debating about lunch at the sandwich shop?
