  • He’s funny, he’s musical, and he’s entertaining

    Haven’t showed you much graphic design lately, so today I’ll show you a logo I designed for Anil while I was visiting Phoenix. He is a DJ and a comedian, and he is certainly very entertaining! Which one do you think he chose?

  • Recording the news, becoming part of history

    I’ve struggled with what to write today. I’m on my first day back from a weekend in Key West and I’m busy, busy catching up with work and I couldn’t wait to blog about my recent trips. But we don’t always get to choose when news is going to happen. It doesn’t matter if I don’t have time…

  • Make your own kind of music

    What’s a redecorating project without art? The only bad thing about working with  me is that I’m a pain in the ass when it comes to art. I like it to be custom. I don’t want someone to walk in my house and say, “Oh, I have that same print!” or “Oh, you got that…

  • For some, a snow day is not a good day

    I’m gonna sound like a little bit of a downer today, and I don’t mean to. I absolutely love the snow. But there was a time I didn’t, and today I’m spending some time thinking about those who are negatively affected the way I once was. You know the saying, “rain, sleet, gloom of night,”…

  • Today, a mystery

    So, I’ve been MIA lately. Shame on me! I have been out of town a lot – I probably spent three days at home last month.  In the past month, have been in DC, Phoenix, Vegas and Florida. All this out of town has made it impossible to sit down in front of the computer! So,…

  • Coming soon: A little ladybug

    She wants to approve all baby bump photos before they get uploaded to Facebook, so I’m going to be careful about the ones I use here since she hasn’t told me which ones she likes yet.  But I’m so excited about the first photos I’ve been able to take of my unborn niece, that I…

  • So famous, I even have my own makeup artist

    Call off the paparazzi? Not quite. But friends and I have gotten mention on a couple of Web sites as of late. Fifteen minutes of fame take 1 Firstly, I wrote this post and Jeff wrote this post on our business blog about Adobe CS5and CreativeLIVE, and during the Q&A session, the instructors mentioned the post! If you…

  • On the loss of a friend

    I’ve been sitting here staring at a blank page, trying to find the words to tell you about Virginia. It’s hard to know where to begin. When you work with someone for 7 years, side by side on numerous projects and late nights and early mornings and meetings and seminars and drinks after the meetings…

  • Modern measuring

    Recently MOD created an identity for Home Measuring Services. Without further adieu, I’ll show it off here!

  • This will forever haunt me

    My post last week reminded me of this incident that happened 4 years ago. There is a reason I can hardly bear to look at this photo: I wrote the text below in February of 2006, and a version of it was published in the newspaper that I worked for at the time. Four years later, and I still can’t…
