Erin and I are participating as vendors in the 1st annual Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles! With less than a week to go, we find ourselves living in the studio with only occasional breaks for food and drink!  We’d love to see you there, so feel free to stop by booth #208 and say hello! Check out this link for more information about Renegade and other details about the Craft Fair.

My work was recently published in several books…

Postcard by FL@33 is a collection of recent postcard design and includes the work of over 100 designers.  It also includes 20 real postcards tucked into the cover.  This a nice touch and makes perfect sense given the content.  You’ll find my Geo + Info Cards sitting humbly alongside some really great postcard concepts.

Design Matters: Packaging 01 by Capsule included my TwentyFour Wine as an example of innovative material use.  This book is great for learning more about the packaging design process and also includes a strong set of example projects.

1000 Package Designs by Grip also featured TwentyFour along with my Questionable Songs CD.  This book is packed with good examples and I find myself getting lost in its beautiful pages now and then.

Thanks to all the hardworking designers and publishing folks who make these books possible!

We had a blast at the Santa Monica Festival on Saturday! Thanks to all who braved the sunny 73 degree Santa Monica weather and came out to see us ;)

Erin completed several new items for the festival. Her Geek Books were one of my favorites. She crafted them from vintage computer punch cards which were generously donated by UCLA computer scientist Peter A. Peterson. Thanks Pete!

This coming Saturday is the Santa Monica Festival! Erin and I are working like mad to finish up our latest projects. I’m working on a bunch of new prints and Erin is cranking out a ton of wonderful books. We have a few surprises planned as well! Stay tuned for updates throughout the week!

We would love to have you join us at the Festival if you are in the area! It is coming up on Saturday, May 9 (11 am - 6 pm) in Clover Park, here in Santa Monica, CA. The festival is free, kid-friendly, and focused on environmental sustainability. Erin and I will have our own tent in the “marketplace” area, displaying our art. For more information, check out the Santa Monica Festival website.

The original drawing for this illustration is also part of the Enormous Tiny Art Show. I enjoyed drawing the trees and like how the underground portion looks like roots, a dried up forest or a reflection.

This illustration goes back to my Kansas roots.  Although I’ve never farmed a day in my life unless you count our modest vegetable garden a few years back.
