One of the projects I am working on this EU trip is a 4th floor mural at an awesome new Art Hotel by the beach here in Barcelona. I've been doing prep and getting supplies lined up. Excited to begin painting tomorrow. That's me in the way back. 50 meters away. And there are 2 sides to muralize. Long bomba!

Friday Flashback : 2001 Way Way Back.

noreply@blogger.com (MWM Graphics) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:38:00 +0000

Earlier this week I was hanging with a group of longtime friends and we were sifting through shoe boxes of pre-digital-camera photos of walls and canvases. I went home and dug up my box of Funsaver (remember those) snaps. Very nostalgic. It feels like lifetimes ago. This one jumped out at me because I remember exactly when I painted it. The first Fall I was in Maine. Mostly using hardware store art supplies like sponge brushes, American spraypaint, penny and washer stencils, palette knives, and aggressive wet-paint carving with a screwdriver. Definitely a sloppy hot mess. Definitely heavily inspired by Kandinsky, Picasso, Basquiat. Definitely a fun painting process. Stay tuned in the coming months for more flash(way)backs. Click-Zoom.

Logo Actualized : Duane Patricio.

noreply@blogger.com (MWM Graphics) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:48:00 +0000

Last week during First Friday Artwalk I ran into longtime friend Duane Patricio and commissioned one of his famous reclaimed wood mirrors for my entryway. As a bonus he crafted this awesome logo wall hanging for my studio! Duane is a Maine legend, a great guy, and a real inspiration. Many years ago I lived next door to his woodworking shop and I'd frequently stop in to see what he was working on. Big and intricate mirrors, tables, and more. All crafted with 200 year old wood. Learn More about his process and Get In Touch with him to commission one for your spot. Thanks again Duane!

I had fun last week working on these new logo options for French brand Skinizi. Their focus is on products that protect tech devices so we decided to explore clean and interconnected wordmarks. I really enjoy designing logos. It is one of the most pure forms of graphic design. Logo & Branding Archive.
