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.

Hey, this exhibition catalogue I designed the Asian Art Museum just showed up, hot off the presses. Most of the ink on the cover is mix of metallic gold and plain old black, and the result is rich and fantastic. Also, I might have finally figured out how to use Perpetua. Hurray to everyone for making this happen. Read more about it here.

A book of advisory verse from a lovely hypnotherapist. Drew the tree, and it came out pretty alright. There is an explanation for why it’s upside-down, but this isn’t the place for it. Better: it’s tiny! Only 3.5 by 5 inches! Some interior spreads:

A dream project. Beautiful photographs, beautiful clients. A nice give-and-take the whole way through. They even went for a varnish-only half-title. The book came out wonderfully and you should go buy it.

Oh, hey! They talked about this book on NPR. Why not have a listen? Mr. Arndt is such a nice guy. Man.

Stanford accepted this. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Submission for a book cover, used in the distributor’s catalog but not on the actual book. Map is hand drawn and basically fantastical.

Unselected book cover. Hand drawn ship, hand drawn letters. Well, really the letters are salvaged from a different project, but that’s a different story.
