Finished up this site for FunFlopps of Santa Barbara this week. Some new logos for Yahoo Games, Manhattan Beach Brewing Company, Blogsmith, and a few others are up in the logos page, as well.
There was a big article on Rap-Up in the New York Times last week, which had covers of the mag reproduced. That was pretty exciting, especially considering my snide comment in here a few weeks ago.
Working on some new identity stuff which’ll be up here soon enough, as well as the new Rap-Up, which will feature illustration work by Upso and some other folks.
Just finished a SimpleViewer-driven mini-site for my dear friend and collaborator Carole Ambauen. A ton of new work in progress. Soon: a few new ID projects, the 2005 Peripheral Produce catalog, some apparel graphics, and a few websites, too.
I just had a few fonts published in the catalog for Post Typography’sAlphabet show. I’d imagine copies’ll run about $5 postpaid from them. It’s a rad catalog with work by E*Rock, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Jean Larcher, Ken Barber, and Elaine Lustig Cohen, among others. Really cool project.
I got interviewed for the New York Times Magazine’s article on Underware’s Bello two weeks ago, but got stuck with the title “one designer”. Pretty awesome. So much for national press coverage.
The always awesome and super-talented folks at Underware have somesamples of Bello in use that I did up on their site. Also, I have some work in this great show of type and letterforms in Baltimore currently.
Still no time to do a proper update. A ton of new work to be posted as soon as a free day happens. New stuff for loads of metal bands, the PDX Film Fest 2005, and a bunch of other projects.

All will be posted soon. One big change is going to happen first, though…
Costa Rica is nice. Go there.
I will have work at BlackMarket Gallery in LA in September as part of the Plustastrophe travelling stuffed animal show that I have been participating in this year. A bunch of comics that I published in the 90s by Al Burian have been collected into a graphic novel by Microcosm. Al is a really amazing writer and cartoonist. His zine, Burn Collector, is one of the most astute and wry batches of writing out there. I cannot recommend it enough.

Welcome to the inaugural news entry.
The latest issue of Beautiful/Decay magazine has hit the newsstand with my typefaces.
The PDX Film Festival was a smashing success- apparently the poster, ads, programs, and the titles were very well-received.
