Apparently a spider hits the charts on CNN…

I’m glad I felt the need to see what was going on in the world today.

My weekend adventure led me to the Bucktown Arts Fest and to these recycled treasures.

Alright, time to attempt this blogging thing again, but with a different approach. Sometimes it might be photos, sometimes that fine print I attempted, or just random design sitings and thoughts.

Thanks to the new roomie, I’ve got a sketchbook going with all kinds of goodies. Stay posted.

It’s exciting to hear and now finally see how motivation and inspiration is contagious. Check out Ryan’s (another fellow creative) new blog.

Wanted: Inspiration

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:41:09 -0500

In recent weeks, I’ve been on the search for inspiration. I just finished reading the June issue of HOW and decided it was time for me to have a “project-a-day” to combat this lack of enthusiasm. So what better way to jump start creativity, I bought Play-Doh! Of course some stress was relieved. There’s no better way than to do that than squishing, twisting and smashing your fingers into the goo. Anyway, I discovered my inspiration and project-a-day, “Fine Print.”

I’m obsessed with typography, but even more so with packaging and it’s fine print; so I’m combining the two. Each day, I will take a phrase from a product’s package that I used during the day and illustrate the message or just explore the type characters as they’re used together. Let’s see how this goes. Stay posted.
