I had a great time hanging out with Jeremy of 805 Collective Design. He is a great designer with an awesome design studio. He has a collection of upright pianos they use as desks among other amazing spaces. Check out their work at 805collective.com

Book Preview

Off the Tracks

A friend of mine is the drummer for this L.A. band, Atlantic Line. Their sound is soaring and cinematic and their design is equally striking. I am drawn to the variety and strength of their poster design, thanks to another friend of theirs, Corey Capetillo.

Very Frenchy

Here's a link to my photo galleries featuring a selection of shots from my recent trip to France. A photo book geared for Graphic Designers is in the works. It features an array of Type and Texture from Northern France. Stay tuned.

Poster Book

Here's a great poster book on band/concert posters that I checked out recently. It's great inspiration for poster design.

Brewing by Design

A few friends and I have started home brewing. This is the first batch that I helped to brew. One of my contributions, is naming the brew and designing a label for it's debut to a group of 50 or so friends.

Creative Spaces

In looking for inspiration to design our new office, my friend Dawn found the site, This Ain't No Disco. I love it's compilation of creative work spaces. I am only sad I didn't know about it sooner.
Here's one of my favorite recent spaces they've posted:
Creneau International from Hasselt, Belgium

P.S. the "This Ain't No Disco" book is coming out soon.
