I recently finished up work on the album cover you see above. Composer Joe Hallman’s gogreengo has been remixed by Megan Cauley, Peter (PONY) Celment, DJ Carl Michaels/Jamie Johnson, Kono Michi (Michi Wiancko), and Paul Pinto. gogreengo is a hard album to pin down, and tends to be pretty abstract and probably isn’t for everyone, […]

Blackbird at the Beach – A Tale in 4 Pictures
Not a fan of the ocean waves. Big fan of the sand.
“You’re out of time…”
First album I ever owned, bought for me by my Dad when I was about five years old. I miss Michael, but I’m not saddened by his death. The MJ I knew as a child has been dead for years.

And the Republicans are Selling…

That’s My Girl
Show ’em what you got, kiddo. Nothing can stop you.

H&F-J’s Sentinel
From their site: “For everyone who’s ever wished Clarendons had italics, everyone whose favorite slab serif is shy a few weights, and everyone who’s ever needed a slab serif to thrive in text: we designed Sentinel for you.” Sign. Me. Up. While I don’t use Clarendon all that often, largely due to its limitations, it’s […]
Announcing Gothamudy Old Style?
ALERT: Secret typeface (possibly) under development revealed through Illustrator CS 3 bug: Gothamudy Old Style. Possible Linotype/ Hoefler & Frere-Jones collaboration? Buy-out imminent? Unsubstantiated rumor or prescient techno-fortune-telling? YOU DECIDE.
SEPTA’s Alternative Train Scheduling
In my experience, this is the way SEPTA operates. Which, if you think about it, means that even when trains are “on time”, they are still late by any other system’s measure. For example, Amtrak runs the way you would expect: trains leave at the time scheduled, rather than arrive at the time scheduled. Bear […]
