The official Launch party of the non-profit I’m involved with was last Thursday. It was a good time. More about EPIC here.

This is the poster I designed for the event.

Deastro, “Parallelogram”

It’s just two songs, but MAN! Sweeping, intense, indie-electro…with a touch of prog. I’m especially obsessed with the second song. And the cover’s pretty damn cool.

My buddy Jeff just posted this image to Facebook. It’s from his 2006 visit to Chicago, and we’re at “MayFest”, which is basically Octoberfest Lite.

Finn looks so different. Well, except for the grumpy scowl…

There’s a new logo reference book series coming out called the Master Library, and I just found out it’s going to include these four logo designs of mine. The first volume is “Initials and Crests,” so these are all based on letters. The first two are from the large series of H’s I did for Hazen Creative, Inc.
