A Gift
A wise friend once gave me a book (The Scripture of the Golden Eternity by Jack Kerouac) that I had until now set aside. Feeling blue from winter weather and pathetic, self-pitying life circumstances, I picked it up and really read it for the first time. This friend of …

An Update
Hi guys! Long time no post...
Lots of things have changed. I moved, I lived in a house with six other people in far out East Portland. I met two people in the house that I love to death, one of which I just moved with to an apartment a mile from downtown on the east …
The Processional
I started keeping a design process blog for a class and I am going to try to keep it updated with my latest thoughts and work. It isn't that amazing at this point, but hopefully it will be in the future. The following is from my thoughts for an essay that was written. I …

Eight Bags
Out for coffee, feeling alone. Skinny Love comes on, loud and clear. Feeling even more alone than before. I start to hum along, like I do to every other song because I don't know all the words. I hear someone else singing. I look up and see the man I always see when I …

Things Took a Turn
Life has been good. Tonight, things took a turn for the worse. I lost a dear friend of mine. My macbook's LCD screen has had a tragic accident. I wont point fingers, but I am ultimately to blame. By placing it on the floor to avoid direct sunlight, I left it wide open …

The Pearl
I've successfully made my move to the Portland metro area. I live between Hillsboro and Beaverton, over a hill in the country. It is peaceful, gorgeous, trees and birds, and we have a pet cat. I love him a lot. His name is Boots but I call him Bootsie. He is a bobcat …

I'm Packing
It's been a while... I've been busy. I'm just packing up my life here in Walla Walla, and getting ready to move out and clean my house tomorrow. I hate packing... but I love the things I find and the memories that go with them.

The Replacements
I am going insane. It is like there isn't enough time in a 24 hour day. I could finish everything I needed to if I could stay up all night. I wish I didn't need to sleep. I'm just trying to get through the next week, and then all of this insanity will be over. Then I …

A Privilege
New Watson Twins album is coming in June! I really love them. When they sing with Jenny lewis, it is good, but I like them by themselves the best. I found out where I'm going to be living this summer... Hillsboro! I am excited. Now I just need to find a job. There are a …

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
I love this film. I picked it up at the store, but then set it down to look at magazines. I'm one of those people who looks for different films, ones I've never heard of, hoping to find a gem. I get some pretty strange films at times, but once in a while I get lucky. …

We've come a long way in the past ten years. Heck, I didn't even know about Print mag, or that there was such a thing as a career in graphic design. It's nice to have a look back at things I never knew about. Here's a look at a few ancient Print magazines that I …

Les Couges
Yay Tegan and Sara were amazing! This is them... believe it or not. They had this huge picture of tree stumps behind them which they explained later as being symbolic with the fact that they were playing in a theatre and the seats get in the way. When Sara was …

My New BFF
This little guy is pretty tricky. I recently encountered him in my step class. Pretty fun to play with, but I woke up this morning and almost couldn't sit up! I still think it is a possibility that we could become BFF.
Yesterday I was really hoping that my new coat …

Consciousness
It's a glorious day here. Warm, sunny, and not a cloud in the sky. It's a shame I slept in as late as i did. I figured it's been a while since I've written and organized my thoughts. The following is just a few things that have been on my mind for one reason or another …

My Stats
Most recently, I have been leaning towards art nouveau, post victorian/art deco feel. Not overly extravagant, more simplistic with slight elements. Conservative, clean, classic, and somewhat femme.
Type - It may sound strange, but I don't have one favorite that I'm stuck …

For People Who Love Bad News
Just a quick note... one of my very favorite Portland bands has a new record coming out. The Helio Sequence is pretty amazing. I've seen them not once, not twice, but three times live and they have never disappointed me. Their new album titled Keep Your Eyes Ahead comes …
