I have been anxiously waiting for this book to “re-stock.” Every online book shop I come across says they are sold out. Little did I know, they were selling to the Europeans before us over in North America. I know this now, because little did I know Sycamore Street Press, [...]

My brother is a philosophy Professor and the other day he mentioned a student told him that she changed her major to philosophy because of him. He didn’t know if he should be proud of her or apologize. This made me want to pay a tribute to the person who [...]

I don’t like getting personal, especially on a blog. Especially on a blog that is designated for graphic design and printmaking. But with my latest print that I literally just finished and the events that have happened this week, maybe it’s time for me to open up. Maybe it will [...]

Are you sick of seeing these? I hope not because right now you can vote for the AIGA 100 Show People’s Choice Award. Tea for Printmakers is on page 3 (I conveniently linked it to that page), bottom row. All work is from every submission: selected and rejected. So you [...]

And how perfect I come across it the same day I go to Travis Bone‘s (whom saved the day by letting me expose a screen because everything else I tried failed) who showed me something amazing, beautiful, fascinating, [...]

I was born and raised in good ol’ Utah. I’ve been here for 23 years with the exception of a couple study abroads and sweet vacations to far away places. One Utah gene I did not catch was the desire to place a bright and shiny rock on my left [...]

I just went to the bank and they told me they don’t know how I’m living, more or less. Thanks student loans, you’re really kicking me in the groin here. Lets stare at Kate Macdowell’s magnificent piece of work, “Canary,” and forget about our problems. I think I’m in love [...]

While in Philadelphia I was still recovering from the flu. Actually, I think I still have it because I haven’t fully rested still. I used my sickness as an excuse to not go to as many demos as I would have liked and I am fully regretting it. However the [...]

I have a love-hate relationship with the state of Minnesota. Hate from the handful of times I’ve been there to be with a guy I am no longer with and those damn mosquitos. Love because Studio On Fire is located in North East Minneapolis and after reading this post, I [...]
