FRENCH PAPER AWARD

I designed a promotional piece for my rep to send out a couple of months ago. It was a really cool black muscletone french stock with black thermography and a label. Turned out nice. I'll post later.

Apparently the paper rep for the printer who handled the job submitted it to Freanh and I won an award for it. My first official accidental award. Here are a few scans.

poster design

I am working on classes toward my gradute degreee in Graphic design. We are currently working on poster concepts. Thout I'd throw a few of the sketches up here to show a little bit of the pocess.

Ahhh...Fall is in the air and some new stuff's a comin'

For the three of you who actually read this blog (that may be an overstatement)

This is by far my favorite time of the year. Which is a bit strange because it's the time of the year when nature dies a slow death on it's way to winter. Kind of depressing really.

Anyway...This is a beautiful time of the year, with the leaves changing and what not. It always inspires me and makes me ponder what this past year has held and what this upcoming year will hold.

I have a lot of ideas for Hucklebuck in '07. I will begin selling prints of my posters and other selected pieces. Screen prints and so on. I have been getting quite a bit of inquiry about this and I think it's time to go for it. I'd like to do limited editions and so on. We'll have to see how it plays out. I will also be launching FOUND™ as it's own brand and line of accessoriess including journals, clothing, coffee mugs and much more. I am hoping to begin licensing the products by mid '07 in major retailers. Again, we'll see how that plays out.

Keep an eye out for the next edition of FOUND™ coming soon. The upcoming book will be more polished than the first effort and will incorporate a pratical application for how to use found type in design. The city of focus will be Seattle. Should be pretty swank.

1" hucklebuck badges will be coming out soon as well to replace the free sticker.
