  • Make sure you have coffee for this one.

      She bared her soul, y’all, and she’s doing it for the world to read. How did I feel when my best friend since we were 8 years old told me she’d had an emotional affair? Surprised? Of course. She’s never in our whole lives been one to break the rules. In fact, I’ll admit that when…

  • Tomorrow is big, you guys

    I’ve been too quiet here lately, but it’s for a good reason. I’ve been helping Amy publish her very first book. It’s amazing how much time and effort goes into creating a book if you want to do it right. There are multiple drafts. There is line editing. There is book cover photography and design. Font…

  • In case you missed it …

    Just in case you missed our blog post over at Melissa Oyler Designs yesterday, I wanted to tell you here that one of my closest friends has written a book. She previewed her cover art (which I had the pleasure of designing) and announced her book yesterday on her own blog, so check it out…

  • Coffee. Feet warmers. Creativity.

      What I love about working from home: – I don’t have to wear shoes at the office. Hell, I can wear my pajamas all day if I want to. –  If I feel creative at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, well, then that’s when I do my work. – Speaking of work, it’s different…

  • Drugs, sex, politics and laughter – all in a day’s work

    Ray and Jennifer had their first date on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, they happened to both be checking their mail slots at work at the same time. The mail boxes were located behind Barbara’s desk. Jennifer grabbed her mail, walked away, and after she left, Barbara  turned to Ray and said, “So, how long have you two…

  • He’s funny, he’s musical, and he’s entertaining

    Haven’t showed you much graphic design lately, so today I’ll show you a logo I designed for Anil while I was visiting Phoenix. He is a DJ and a comedian, and he is certainly very entertaining! Which one do you think he chose?

  • Make your own kind of music

    What’s a redecorating project without art? The only bad thing about working with  me is that I’m a pain in the ass when it comes to art. I like it to be custom. I don’t want someone to walk in my house and say, “Oh, I have that same print!” or “Oh, you got that…

  • Coming soon: A little ladybug

    She wants to approve all baby bump photos before they get uploaded to Facebook, so I’m going to be careful about the ones I use here since she hasn’t told me which ones she likes yet.  But I’m so excited about the first photos I’ve been able to take of my unborn niece, that I…

  • So famous, I even have my own makeup artist

    Call off the paparazzi? Not quite. But friends and I have gotten mention on a couple of Web sites as of late. Fifteen minutes of fame take 1 Firstly, I wrote this post and Jeff wrote this post on our business blog about Adobe CS5and CreativeLIVE, and during the Q&A session, the instructors mentioned the post! If you…

  • Modern measuring

    Recently MOD created an identity for Home Measuring Services. Without further adieu, I’ll show it off here!
