Words & Letters
Time continues to sneak up on me. I have a personal deadline in 15 days. I’ve thought a lot about what I intend to make, but reality is coming at me fast. Procrastination is there. Other responsibilities take priority. Excuses are many. I’ve got to get my ass in gear–wish me luck. Web Design/UX/UI The […]
I’m pretty good at turning my brain off when I need to. Video games, shooting a basketball, or even a long walk can all be a pathway to clearing my mind. Sometimes I will just take a deep breath, but usually, I need a little more. Something physical or some mentally engaging activity (video games) […]
Juggling isn’t a game. It has elements and a history of performance and dates back to 2000 B.C. according the the internet. We’re all juggling a lot these days. I’m really good at tossing the balls into the air–catching them is another story. I need more practice. As you can probably surmise from this series […]
Doing these posts on Tuesdays, in Pacific (US) time, always coincides with Apple’s announcements. It’s a thing but in this asynchronous world, it doesn’t matter. We all make the time for the things that matter. Whether it’s the new iPhone or some pretty visual content, if it makes your life better we will find the […]
I finally got around to seeing Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City. It’s visually stunning and without spoiling anything, it has a great creative message. In a period of my life where compromise is the norm, this hit home for me in a really nice way. Work When creatives quitAs creative managers, we take it personally when […]
If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a formula for these posts. Yes, the work changes. I also have my personal tastes which come through quite clearly at times. You’ll notice another Atari link in this week’s content. I have a soft spot for Atari–100% true. I always try and mix up the disciplines. I […]
I was getting started on assembling this week’s post and I suddenly found myself deep down a web rabbit hole that I couldn’t escape. It started simply enough–I got an email from the fine people at LEGO. They updated their loyalty program and wanted me to move over to this new thing. I complied. That […]
It’s been a long day and I’m fresh out of words. I said a whole bunch of words on the Mix & Matchbox podcast last week. I just realized that an entire section of this post didn’t save and I have to rebuild it. Enough words–let me fix that and get some sleep. Art HuntzLayered […]
We’ve hit full-on Summer now. The heat keeps on coming. Take a little time out of the elements and listen to my first-ever podcast appearance with Brent Feldman, host of Mix and Matchbox. We talk about design, skateboarding, and some random related topics. Hopefully, you all find it interesting. Web Design/UX/UI Zero UI: Redefining the […]
Some days bring you a reality that is hard to shake. Paul Rubens (AKA Pee Wee Herman), Angus Cloud, and Sinéad O’Connor are the most recent examples of creative people who have left their mark and we are left trying to make sense of the loss. I grew up watching Pee Wee’s Playhouse. I don’t […]
