This is a good time - for all Americans. While I am not interested in any form of political discussion, I feel I have to express a bit of what I’ve been feeling. Whether you are ready to admit it or not, our country got a little bit better Tuesday night. Big or small, a feeling of hope, in every American’s heart, permeated an entire planet. We have now taken a real step into this new millennium.
This is a new America - a better America, and I’m so glad to be here.

Depending upon whether or not you want to believe the majority of Oliver Stone’s latest film W., you may walk out of the theatre with a different opinion of our current Commander In Chief. Josh Brolin does a great job emulating many of the Bushisms that we’ve grown accustomed to over the past eight years. Richard Dreyfuss, however, cracked into a more diabolical representation of his character. This movie explains a great deal of our frustrations with our current government. That is, if you want to believe the film.

I did this backdrop for Matisyahu about this time last year. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but there are rays coming up behind a Jerusalem skyline. A company applied UV over the type, as well as details of the skyline, allowing it to react quite beautifully with a blacklight. I’ve just finished working on another backdrop for a band that plan to use a similar method, to create what I think will be one of the coolest backdrops y’all have ever seen. Stay tuned…

A few times in my life, everything I love seems to converge in divine fashion. This time, it was friends, design, and authentic mexican food. One of my best friends asked me to design the branding for his family’s authentic mexican restaurant. If I could, I would link you to one of their chicken tacos. In addition to loving the logo, it looks like some lucky designer is getting free tacos for life tacos gratis para vida!!
A friend of mine recently asked me to do a logo for Smashing Threads, his sister’s line of handmade bags and accessories. Twenty-five minutes later, I gave him this little diddy. I realized that my new favorite type of work is when someone asks me to write out the name of the company with a marker, and then send it to them as a logo. Brilliant!. Anyway, go check out her stuff.

If I could, I would inform everyone about Jamie Randolph. A friend of mine asked me to design a shirt for Jamie, and, sooner or later, I got hooked on his tunes. His CD was in my car for about 8 months straight, and I never got sick of it. You need to know about Jamie Randolph. And you need to get his tunes.

I’ve been having fun with a current project for Sonny. He’s got this twisted, electronica thing going, so I’ve been having fun coming up with some odd, awkward stuff. The image above is part of a drawing I did of his face. I’m about to do another version with spiderwebs and whatnot.
Posted on: September 18th, 2008 House Of Heroes
House Of Heroes have been around for a while, and they have constantly created thee smartest, most interesting, well-formatted pop-rock out there. They seem to take a little more time formatting their songs, as opposed to relying on a basic pop format that most of their peers default to. I’ve known these guys for a long time, and have recently got to know them a lot better. In my opinion, they should be huge. Here’s the song the local radio station has been playing. It’s called “In The Valley Of The Dying Sun.” Go buy it.
