While the world continues to spiral, I’m trying to focus on making things. We can’t control it all, so what I can do is make nice things, highlight great work, and hug those that I love. I implemented a new feature on my blog with the help of Cursor and Claude Code. If you want […]
Here we go again. Out with the old, in with the new. I’m currently hard at work on several fronts—nothing new there. Between these weekly posts, the Skate Book Club newsletter, my magazine (Tails Of…), and the full-time job, my plate is full. In my personal life, however, I’m trying to do the opposite: simplify. 2025 pushed […]
Here we are. The new year is almost upon us. There’s no rest ahead. There’s a lot to do and not enough hours in the day. Nothing new there. Happy New Year, gang! See you all on the other side. Graphic Design/Branding X Games rebrandX Games operates as both a showcase and a proving ground. […]
I don’t know if I’ll publish next week. I’m leaning towards, yes. We’ll see how I feel next week. No promises. I’m not a huge fan of looking back. I do know that we should take stock on occasion, and I’m feeling good about the year ahead. There’s a lot of work to do. That’s […]

Running a little behind schedule today. This is par for the course in November–I’m getting there. Graphic Design/Illustration I was convinced this was traditional Japanese artwork… until I saw Brendan FraserRental Family’s new posters are a creative masterpiece Typography Fran Sans…a display font in every sense of the term. It’s an interpretation of the destination […]
The week before going to a conference is hectic. You’re trying to wrap things up so you can focus on the event. There are always fifteen other things happening—such is life. I was able to attend Adobe MAX last week, and the new stuff is cool (see the Sneaks link below). But the best part […]
This week is a shorter batch. I’m attending Adobe Max this week, so if you are there too, ping me. I’ve been to Max a few times and I always meet some interesting people. The best thing about it, unlike most other design conferences, it’s all disciplines. You will meet illustrators, film makers, video effects […]
Adobe Max is next week. I’m not prepared at all. It snuck up on me. If you are going to be there, reach out. I’ve gotta go build my schedule right now and get some stuff done before.
