Recently completed: identity design for Fever Films, a division of Canada’s largest film production company, Avion. The print work won’t be up here for a bit, but check their site here. They are really great at what they do, and severely nice folks, to boot!

I have some work up in a new show: I Heart Gocco at Half and Half, 923 SW Oak Street, in lovely Portland, Oregon. The show was curated by Jason Sturgill and his super-rad Wurst Gallery. It’s a Valentine and Gocco-themed show. A series of 50 signed and numbered three-color prints for the show are available through the Wurst.
I would like to formally announce that Wordshape, my new type foundry, is officially open. The first three releases are revivals of historical typefaces that I have finished over the past few years. A few new designs by myself and others will be released later this year, as well as some apparel and a few secret projects in the works.
The coaster set that I designed for the Tenth and Grant product line is now available from their website, as well. They are printed on thick, 100% post-consumer recycled paper in 3 colors with soy inks. Each set contains 8 coasters each of 2 different patterns (16 coasters total) in custom die-cut packaging. The coaster patterns are inspired by European geometric patterns and Japanese illustrations from the 1950s and 1960s.
