“Tell mum everything is ok” (No.5 – Stigma) was another publication from Millennium Magazines that I instantly added to my must-have list.
“Tell mum everything is ok” is a fanzine published by Éditions FP&CF.
Check out the full list of contributors for this issue. Lots of talent in there!

I came across Michael Younker’s work on BOOOOOOOM! yesterday and really enjoy his Several Object Assemblages series. Currently Younker is a BFA student in Photography at Savannah College of Art and Design. I’m looking forward to see how his work evolves over the next few years.

umool umool vol.9: the rejected, the recycled, the regenerated was one of my favorite publications exhibited at Millennium Magazines. umool umool is a magazine-formed project by artist Na Kim.
I was really attracted to the graphics and colors. I want a poster of the “Kill Your Darlings” page – common angst in editing!

The last couple of weeks have been so crazy I haven’t gotten around to posting about my 16 hrs in NYC until today! One of the many highlights of my trip was checking out Millennium Magazines at MoMA. After hearing about the exhibition a couple of months ago I knew I had to go and see it for myself. Check out all of those great covers!
I was introduced to some new to me titles and I have a few posts lined up this week focusing on a few of my favorite publications. See you tomorrow!

The exhibition is up through May 14th so you still have time to go yourself! I highly recommend it.

YES! Folks, above is the final maquette of my book Landed. I got it back from the printers yesterday and there is a slight adjustment to the colophon I want to make and then I will be DONE. I have been working on this book for about a year now and the fact that I have the edit and sequence finished feels SO GOOD.
Once I get the final book back from the printer I’m going to photograph it and make a video flip-through to share on my website. Landed will be for sale in an open edition the beginning of May! More info. coming soon!

I’ve mentioned the ARTBOOK (Magnum) bookstore at VSW a few times now, so I won’t beat it to death. Just know that there are some excellent books in stock (new inventory was just added yesterday!) and I highly encourage you to go browse/shop! Did you know that the books are 25% off? Also, a portion of proceeds from your purchase benefits VSW. If you’re not in ROC you can shop online!

April 20, 2012 in blog news, updates
A couple of weeks ago I had a meeting with one of my instructors at VSW and we got to talking about my “brand” and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this idea. Yes, I most certainly have a “look” that I go for and attempt to keep that “look” consistent across all of my online sites and printed materials. Thing is, I’m a self-taught designer (if I can even call myself that!) and I have a lot left to learn.
I have updated the look of this blog to more accurately reflect me as an artist, blogger, and designer. It’s minimal and the lack of an image header and buttons on the top of the sidebar give the content of the posts more weight (like on my old blog). I doubt it will stay like this for long as I continue to think about my brand and make adjustments, but I’m excited to see where this goes!
So, what do you think? Miss the header and buttons? Like the cleaner look?

also, last week I moved my Contact, News, ROC, and Submit pages under the About page. scroll over “About” and the menu will drop down.

“Should I Check E-mail” by Wendy MacNaughton has been been crossing my reader and Twitter feed all day, and for good reason! This clever flow chart brought me back to January when I posted about the need for deep thought. Over the last four months I have made a serious effort to cut back on my internet time, but sadly that hasn’t changed my e-mail habits much. Truth is, I’m involved in a million projects and each group I’m working with has different timelines. I have attempted to cut back though, but I’m still checking e-mail at least once and hour. Is that too much?
