Ah, Public Radio International. What a lovely brand. I dressed up this sweet little globe in all sorts of costumes for their tumblr.

Yes, Joe and I teamed up to design the tumblr for ever-wonderful Lapham’s Quarterly. Very much inspired by their print designs, which is by turns cheeky and stoic.
Holy cats, I somehow neglected to post this. My colleague David and I, along with our deus ex machina Joe, built this high-toned site for the good fellows at Bygone Bureau. As it went, I handled most of the visual design, but all told it was one of the most rewarding team efforts I have ever been a part of. A lot of high-fives at the end. Do read the charming note the BB editors wrote, will you?
Huh. This thing. Let’s allow it to stand.
Might as well highlight these drawings I made for the Sleepover blog. This was partly a challenge to myself, as I find shoes to be in the same frustrating category as cars and noses: why are they so difficult to draw? Exposure to Andy Warhol’s silly, New Yorky shoe drawings gave me a shot of confidence. Can anyone recommend something similar for cars? For noses?
Umm, umm, umm, I’m barely sure how to write this post. Today is a huge day for me.
My new studio is officially open for business. Sleepover. Sleepover! It has kept me up at night for months now. I’m incredibly proud to have Tag Savage as my partner in this venture. Check out the site for more, but very quickly: we do websites for magazines, writers, content folks.
A main focus will be our blog, which we’re starting off with a bang. Tag discusses his shoes and I announce a new Tumblr theme. My entire heart is in this thing. Check it out, and do let me know what you think.
I can add nothing to this besides my own glee. Do give us a look.
This was a study in applying two different styles to the same basic subject. Which do you prefer? I will keep mum, so as not to influence your decision.

A poster, or at least the online equivalent of a poster, for a bicycle race/fundraiser. That’s right, no printed version will ever be created, amazing. A prelude the recipient blog’s eventual redesign, and a hopefully rad study in bike graphics as modified to a rectangular format. “Mission Mission” is custom lettering, a less brutish riff on the NY Post—like it?
The Asian Art Museum selected this thrillingly crashy for their, yes, Shanghai exhibition catalogue. Couldn’t be more thrilled. Take a look at the back cover and some interior pages here, and do note that the deco Chinese characters on the back were drawn (in Illustrator, necessarily) by yours truly.
