Sometimes, I’m too shy for my own good…
Sneak Peek
People have been asking me what I’ve been working on lately, so here’s a quick snapshot of one of the projects on my desk: What are YOU working on these days??
Headache
My head feels like it’s going to split in two…
Disney delights
Digging up that last batch of cartoons made me wonder about other old favorites from my childhood. Not surprisingly, the vastness of the Internet did not fail me. So I present to you two more childhood Disney favorites: Man do I love Donald Duck.. the muttering KILLS me… and both the soundtrack and foley for …
Halloween
For as long as I can remember, Halloween has been my favorite holiday. Each year, I’d look forward to an annual excuse to get dressed up and be silly, and go around the neighborhood trick or treating, smelling the autumnal smells and laughing all along the way. Today, I still love the holiday, even if …
Charm City
Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of networking; and one of the frequent topics of conversation has been the City itself, Baltimore. People inevitably want to understand why I left sunny California and adventurous Colorado for what is often perceived as a humdrum, quirky little town on the Chesapeake. And my answer is always the …
Fall in Gothenburg
The last few days of rain and autumnal gloom have lulled my memories back to Göteborg. I haven’t paid it much mind over the last few years– I finished my MFA and didn’t really look back afterward. But here I am, back in Baltimore after a move back from Sweden, and two three 1500mi+ moves. …
Grateful
Notes like this remind me of how lucky I am to have friends like I do– a little bit of silliness to share a smile. Thank you, Jake, for being such a great friend all these years.

Things I missed at Make/Think
I did not attend the AIGA biennial conference, Make/Think, last week in Memphis. I tried, but my planning efforts quickly became a logistical nightmare; in the end, I decided to save the money for a mortgage payment instead of the agony of figuring out travel to a town with out Southwest service and overbooked hotels …
Maybe Sparrow, part two
This was stuck in my head while working on the most recent daily portrait, Maybe Sparrow by Neko Case. The video was done by Julie and Paul Morstad.
Black and blue
The last month has been one hell of a journey. In fact, the last few years have been a hell of a ride… One that has not always been the easiest. Picking up an exercise that has been neglected woefully, the above is a daily portrait. Will I resume the habit? An excellent question, what …
The Spice of Life
The other day, I read an article in the Washington Post about one of my favorite things tastes– Old Bay. I can’t recall the specific moment in my life where I discovered this amalgam of spices, but I’m pretty certain it was my father who made the introduction. Since that imperceptible moment in my childhood, …
Postcards from the Past
Last weekend, I ventured down to the water for the Fells Point Fun Festival; it was the first time I had been down that way in almost five years. In all of the years I’ve been away, parts of the City have truly grown and revitalized in a way I was not fully prepared for. …
Leftovers
Lately, I’ve been doing more than my fair share of tidying. Though in all fairness, I’ve also done my fair share of space invasion and creating unholy messes of boxes and newspapers from all the unpacking. Nevertheless, I have been on an organization kick; one that extends as far as my hard drives. In sorting …
Ain’t that a kick in the head
I can not describe how things have been lately… formulating a cogent description eludes me. So I’ll summarize: I feel like I’ve been kicked in the teeth… And it’s my own doing… Images: Me
