EXPLORATORIUM:

(l to r: john and george)

STORY:
after the emerge show, john, george, and i explored the PACIFIC DESIGN CENTER. it was beautiful and serene with no one else around. i almost don't want to go back during the day - because i'm afraid the crowds would change it to much.

COOKING REVIEW.

WINDOWED:


STORY:
THE GOOD EXCHANGE is tomorrow and i'm quite excited to enjoy this little beast. i've tried my darnedest to round up a large collection of trade-worthy items. also, on thursday, there is the EMERGE SHOW at the pacific design center that features lots of california design schools.

========================================

TRIAL:


STORY:
in pre-production, all the little details stand out more than ever. i'm crossing my fingers for the finished product.

========================================

TAIL ENDS:

(l to r: mom and dad)

STORY:
my good parents came out to visit for a stuffed three days. we saw 3 gardens, 2 museums, and a few surrounding family members. it's always nice to see these kids, but i wish i could see them more often that only a few times a year. c'est la vie is what i say.

========================================

EXTRA:

if LOGORAMA needed a poster - the CORPORATE AMERICA flag feels appropriate

the addition of DIGITAL EDITIONS counting in circulation might really help

SOUP SESSIONS.

STORY:
my fingers, wrists, eyes, mind, and bones wanted to know something different - and, thus, the journey was set for a return to the mountain. this year involved a new cabin and one new person(josh). it was strenuous, fiber-filled feet lifting at its best.

AN LENGTHY SCREECH:


STORY:
i arrived home one evening to find someone doing a long peel-out in their late 80's truck. it reminded me of two things: i rarely see people doing things like this anymore and this is how i feel all coming-of-age stories pre-vietnam smell.

FOR THE WALLS:


STORY:
above is the poster for THE GOOD EXCHANGE. i've been working on this poster for the last few weeks and, now, it is ready for the world. the whole thing was really enjoyable from the BEGINNING to end. i definitely want to express my gratitude to the souls of hazel and lorenzo for asking me to be involved.

AS A SIDE NOTE:
for anyone who can be involved, i think this exchange is going to be a really terrific, memorable experience. come if you can; make if you can.

O TABLE:


STORY:
our publications are presented.

========================================

MAKING FRIENDS:

(l to r: paul and erik)

STORY:
in our communication studio course, the distinguished(and friendly) ERIK SPIEKERMANN came by and spoke with us about our publications. i was extremely fortunate to have him take a moment to talk with me about my intentions, successes, and utter failures. he was a good sport to speak with everyone who asked, had a nice sense of humor, was on point, and was consistently inquisitive about all things. if you're reading this erik, thanks for coming in. it was a was a very memorable experience that no one will soon forget.

========================================

WOOD AND NOISE:


STORY:
lindsey and i went to hear THE DIRTY PROJECTORS at the WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL. i had only been here once before for something much less elaborate. this experience was perfect and not unwieldy as THE GETTY ADDRESS could have been. it was, without a doubt, one of the greatest concert experiences i have ever had.

========================================

CHWAST:


STORY:
my kind communication studio teachers let me sneak away to check out the SEYMOUR CHWAST talk at ART CENTER. i've always loved the worked of PUSH PIN STUDIOS and seeing him caused the blood to rush to my head. after the lecture, i got to talk with seymour for a second – and ask him what he thought was the most shaping experience he had while in college. he replied that high school was really a much more valuable experience for him, but that he was glad to have met milton while in college. it seemed really fitting coming from a man who's illustrations speak more to life than to technical prowess, which is why i've always loved them.

STORY:
the hiking continues - but, this time, it featured mud.

========================================

PRINT TO SPEAK:


STORY:
the respectable STUART BAILEY gave a talk at otis. his work with DOT DOT DOT has been immaculate, but to hear him articulate the processes that guide his structure was very nice. rumor has it that he will be around next year; i hope this is true. i would love to speak more with him on the curatorial process and his sources for written media.
