three

Hello friends,

Three things I am excited about this week:

1) This film, which I saw Saturday with Rena. We saw a screening; it's not actually released until next month. See it if you can. It's awesome. Not for type and graphic design geeks only. Truly a good film.

2) Setting up Rare Device San Francisco. Did I mention that I am having fun? Like more fun than I have ever had? Makes up for the fact that I am also busier than I have ever been.

3) Starting a new series of monthly interviews I am doing with people who inspire me by living incredibly creative lives. My first interview (with a really awesome person) will be posted in a couple days!!

Working hard also to finish work for my upcoming show in L.A. I am basing the work on ocean creatures, mostly small ones. Here is a larger piece I finished last week for the installation.

Ephemera, gouche and pencil; 17x21 inches

Peace, all.

The movie was sold out here in NY and didn't get to see it, but MOMA is having a great exhibit on the font currently. Can't wait for the interviews.

Wow--that new piece is just gorgeous! All the colors, pattern combined... beautiful.

Thanks for posting the link about the film! My little graphic-design-student's heart is getting all fluttery and excited! :) An entire film about typography? Can life get any better? ;) lol.

I cannot wait to read the interviews you're doing. There is nothing I love more than reading about what inspires other creative types and being inspired and creatively pushed in my turn. :)

Have a lovely day!!

I am so excited you're getting into gouache. It's such a smooth flowy paint. Not as impermeable as acrylic, but much easier to control.
