Words & Letters
Summer is in full swing—and the world feels like it’s burning, in more ways than one. When I’m not curating links, I’ve been spending time talking with other creative folks about the current state of things. It’s tough out there, especially for designers navigating a brutal job market. So, I’m setting aside time to help—at […]
It’s long overdue, but my other side project, Tails Of…, just released our sixth book (it’s #5, since we started with #0), Tails Of… Photographers. Legendary photographer Dave Swift leads this issue. Tails Of is a print magazine about art and skateboarding. Each issue has a theme, and we build the content around that concept. […]
I’m tired today. I’ve got no energy for words. Let the links do the talking… Documentary 10 Years with Hayao MiyazakiAn exclusive 4-part documentary chronicling the creative process of the legendary Japanese filmmaker. He is shown as a passionate artisan, a steadfast trailblazer, and a father butting heads with his son. Architecture Ga.o House / […]

Enjoy. Web Design/UX/UI “Product Kondo”: A Guide To Evaluating Your Organizational Product PortfolioIt starts with good […]

It’s been a busy month but somehow, someway I’ve managed to do some of what I planned to do. I’ve still got another phase post to create. I need to write my 2024 book reading recap. The February issue of the Skate Book Club newsletter needs to happen. And, last and most important, Tails Of… […]
Another day, another batch of links, and I’ve still got more stuff I want to do before I rest. I’ll get there–it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. I just posted my fifth Phase post (article or whatever). I never thought these would be easy to do. It’s harder than […]
I can’t believe the month is two-thirds over. The new year just started–where did these weeks go? I’ve been pulling (or reposting) all of my Medium content over to this site. It’s tedious but kind of fun to look back on my past efforts. I’m not grabbing every week’s link posts, just the more crafted […]
The Los Angeles fires are affecting so many people in our creative community in devastating ways. It’s horrible to watch and with each new post, gofundme campaign, and news story it’s a reminder of how fragile our lives are. If you are in a position to help, I’m including links to do just that. Give […]
