P.S.
I’m going to start posting more inspiration and bits and pieces, I swear! Anyone curious about anything in particular? What would you like to see more of?

Next week is my last week working at UMBC, and it’s a little bittersweet. I graduated in May, and have spent the last 9 months working on all sorts of design projects for the the student union building (“The Commons”) and it’s finally coming to a close.
This is a sneak peek of next week’s “Events on Campus” poster. I am not personally responsible for these weekly poster designs, but by a fluke it fell into my lap today, and so I’ve done a bit of a farewell poster, using sketches (and student photos) from a dozen or so projects done between 2008-2010. I’ll post the finished piece when it’s hanging and I can photograph it!
On to bigger and better things, I hope! And, if you know anyone looking for a full-time designer, let me know! ;)

Part of “The Roll,” a collaborative project where multiple artists filled a long roll of paper with illustrations, collage, writing, and more, now on display in the UMBC Commons building.

Currently working on Powerpoint slides for an online training module to accompany the handbook I designed over the summer.

There are lots of bits and pieces of work I’ve never really photographed and I hope to change that over the next few months. I want to really collect all of my work and have some sort of a cohesive collection.

Today, UMBC’s campus portal site, myUMBC, relaunched it’s Events section with a slew of great new features, courtesy of UMBC’s Division of Information Technology. The new design also features a number of my photos of campus life, some of which can be viewed in this tutorial video they’ve created.

UMBC Art Week 2010 Treatment (via adamjk)
Final version for use. I adjusted the alignment to match Jenna Ullrich’s revision to the logo, tried to get more gold strands visible (and made sure they looked more gold than yellow) through the cut-out, and generally shot a cleaner photo for a more polished feel. I still like the rough version, but this is more appropriate for the print materials it will ultimately be used on.

For Art Week 2010 at UMBC, Co-chairs Jenna Ullrich and Tazuko Sugajima have opted to do a complete series of “artist interpretations” of the logo that Jenna and I collaborated on last year. There are handdrawn patterns, puffy paint, sequins, tiny headless people, and more.
I am considering different textures to photograph through a stencil I’ve cut, and taking quick snapshots on my cellphone. This one shows a black and gold pom-pom from a UMBC Retrievers basketball game.
