Finally—New Work!

2011-10-15T10:36:08Z

What you've all been waiting for (I'm sure...). Being that I haven't actually put up any work since I graduated from university, it's probably about time (more likely, a little overdue). I've been busy reformatting my portfolio galleries for awhile now. I actually started around the beginning of the year, but the website was put on hold while I was in Africa. Click the image above for a sneak preview of the new gallery layout, and a few pieces that have been sitting on my back up drive, waiting to get posted. Enjoy.

The trip so far… and tips on killing Lions

My first trip into the bush was a success. We drove southwest to Simanjero to celebrate a new school opening/fundraiser for the Maasai. The exciting part about this school is that the whole project was initiated by the Maasai themselves. Not only that, but they formed the En-Kata Choir, which toured around the US to raise money to build it. That’s how Pamoja was involved with the project. They helped get them to the states and recorded two albums with the choir to raise funds.

Going to Africa

Well, it's official. Tickets have been booked for my four month trip to to East Africa! Tanzania to be exact. For the majority of the trip, my wife and I will be living on an acreage just outside Arusha. It's a decent size city (around 1.3 million people) and is considered the de facto capital of the East African Community.

Motorcycle season is upon us! I'm taking the next couple days to get my bike tuned and ready to roll. Staying up with good friends till 2 in the morning, hacking away on eachother's bikes. It's amazing what you can learn from just taking things apart. This video isn't mine, but it got me stoked for what's to come this year.

Get out there and ride, friends.

Don't be surprised when the "20 greatest logos of all-time" are for some of the most important companies of all-time.

A friend of mine, Jordan Clarke, just posted five of his favorite logos on his new blog. Some interesting insight on the emotional connection between logo identity and its success. Check it out here.

If they hadn't gone out and done something brilliant, no one would be talking about their logos today.

I have caved. I am now the reluctant owner of @erynnsaunders on the Twitter. I should probably outline my reasons for a) resisting from joining twitter; and b) why I decided to join the tweeting community.
