Here is a peek at an identity / collateral project I’ve been working on for 3 Little Birds Salon in Denver. The project is just about ready for print with a few tweaks here and there. I was pumped to hear how excited the girls were for the final version and to see young people striking out to start a business that aims to support the community in a fresh and creative way (visually and in mission). Obviously some of that was up to me to interpret and execute but it ultimately comes down to their business and involvement in the community itself. They are still working on getting their site put together and will surely be adding this beautiful logo to the facade of the building soon. Make sure to swing by their studio and get a trim from one of their “scissor ninjas” when you have some time to spare.

It is official, I am now on board with Sevnthsin as a Sr Designer. I am totally stoked to work with these guys and have had my eye on them since my arrival here in MPLS in March. It should be a lot of fun and a great chance to collaborate with some super talented guys. My start date is thankfully set to mid May. It’ll give me a good chance to finish up some freelance projects and rearrange my schedule. By no means does this mean I won’t continue to pursue freelance. I would love to keep some side projects flowing… Make sure to check out their site and work. I think it’s rad!

On my recent job search, I found myself at the doorstep of a super fresh interactive studio here in Minneapolis called Sevnthsin. From first glance I knew they had their shit together and it was a place I would fit nicely. After an email or two, I was invited in to their shop to meet a few people, see the space and share some work. Everyone was way too nice and had a lot of good things to say about the creative community. When I gathered my clutter to take off, the boss man ran upstairs and brought me down the super sick, rad fantastic promo poster that you see up top. It was done by Colin Strandberg a.k.a. TheWorkSteady. Super fresh!

I’ve just uploaded my first piece to the 30/30… and I have a few others in the works. Hopefully I’ll be caught up here shortly? For those of you not familiar with the 30 days 30 pieces website. The concept is pretty simple… turn off your computer and get your hands dirty. Spend 5 minutes, a half hour or few hours using your imagination and creativity… your medium of choice… be it a pencil, a brush, camera, or your body.
The 30/30 is the brainchild of David Schell, creative director at texturemedia, my boss, and all around the sexiest man without a beard! Dave had been going back and forth talking with friends about working on paintings, illustrations, and so on… but with busy schedules it seemed that personal artwork always took a back seat to client work and life in general. So he came up with the idea of committing to a painting a day for an entire month… he built a website w/ the help of flash master Miles Fenn and encouraged as many people as he could to participate. Personally it was awesome for me to stand back at the end of 30 days and look over an entire body of work… short sweet little bursts of creativity.
The idea moving forward with the website is to make it a monthly engagement… participants, themes, and the number of days might change from month to month, but the site will continue to grow and foster intimate relations outside of the almighty CPU! There is already a healthy amount of international peeps lined up for next month… Brazil is making a strong showing… Anyone out there who might be interested in participating in next months 30/30… should email Dave through the 30/30 website.

Our home base is being temporarily relocated to the Shoppe. We figured, what better way to spend a delightful day of designing, than in a place as warm, fuzzy and full of coffee and cakes as this. So far it’s shown an interesting mix of customers and had a steady plate of beats to keep our creativity flowing. I’m not usually to good with being out of my element when trying to work, but surprisingly, things are going swell. More updates and photos coming soon.

What are you up to this coming Wednesday? Nothing? Well great! You can come to a design competition! The event is called Design Jam and will be held at Denver’s Plus Gallery on 24th & Lawrence. Here is a quick run down for all of you sleepers out there. Design Jam is a design tournament that will be focusing on all levels of practice in the industry and will allow just about any person who thinks they are up to the challenge, compete to win fame, fortune and glory. For more information and specifications please check out the AIGA Colorado website which I have linked above. Oh and buckle up… Because I’m one of the 3 judges! Muahahahahahahahah!

Last night we celebrated Tran & Josh’s 11 year anniversary. We started our evening out at Vesta Dipping Grill (tasty and highly recommended) and finished up the evening with the romantic movie Sweeney Todd (also tasty and highly recommended). Congrats to both of you, we love you guys more than you’ve been married. Can we come over tonight? We have no food and we can bring the beer.

Our good friends over at JoyEngine have finally unleashed the new site! The blog is now entirely driven by contributors, so expect constant content about all the local artsy fartsy events and happenings. They’re will be a good variety of other stuff as well, like rad design links, the newest freshest kicks, and that “funny video you saw on YouTube last night.” Lifter Baron and I will be over there dropping some random hotness for the the blog as well. Ch-check check it out.

I had a few minutes to add my new logo and some not yet added content to my site today. I am no where near being finished and am slowly planning a complete overhaul of the entire site for the new year. I doubt I’ll have it all done by the beginning of January but I will most definitely have all of the new content in there within the next few weeks. I am also attempting to get my wearable art line deemed MEGA, up and running in the next month as well. I’ll keep you all posted on progress of those projects and some of the other top secret things to come for 2008!

I’m out of town! Since this morning I have been helping out at Zeus Jones, a new studio founded by a few friends from Fallon including Rob White and Adrian Ho. Thanks to everyone at Zeus for the hospitality and especially Brad for bringing me out here and commuting me around in his hot ride. I am really pumped about my visit and can’t wait to check the city out. I’m not really sure what I’ll manage to squeeze out of the city over the next few days but I’ll definitely keep you guys posted. If anyone’s got suggestions, send them my way.
