I was working on a new screen-print but it fell on the wayside. Here is the line art. My friend said it looked like something for Pulp. Maybe I’ll finish it up next semester.

Amanda Jeauxnes Birthday Packet.
I sent my friend, Amanda Jeauxnes, a packet of screen-prints and other artwork for her birthday.
I also threw in a signed headshot.
I got the idea for Bearz in da Hood at this time. I had this pack of Emily Martin cards that I wasn’t going to use; I am not the kind of person that uses postcards. It felt a little plain with nothing on there so I had to Ed-grrrize it. Naturally this led to bears who are also rappers. Naturally.

Bearz in da Hood Overview.
I Ed-grrrized this pack of Emily Martin postcards using a simple idea:
What if these bears were also rappers dispensing their hard-earned wisdom?
I lettered these all freehand and went straight to the postcard. As the bears would say, “Live large or go home to yo’ momma.” I only used a baseline and cap height on these.
This project was a lot of fun. It gave me a reason to practice lettering and allowed me to play with my fancy graphic design tools.

This is the sign I did for Pura Ice, an ice and water company.
It is in Arvin, California which is near Bakersfield. The likelihood of me ever seeing it in person is 0%.

-Childish Gambino, “Put It In My Video.”
I finally got a chance to play with James Edmondson’s Wisdom Script. It’s pretty neat. Needs some work on the kerning tables as he warned.

This was the centerfold of my video-game magazine, 6502.*
It’s a play on the Medium is the Massage by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore.
*It seems I gave away all my copies. I had to photograph a print proof. Just as well, I want to fix it up and bind it as a hardcover.
