Pour one out for June. 2023 is almost half over. I just got back from the Figma conference, Config. Good stuff overall, and my first big event post-pandemic. I went to a conference in the Fall, but it was a fraction of the size and folks were masked almost universally. We can’t control change. We […]
For me, the most random posts are the best. You get a mix of everything–no clear hierarchy. Just creative juices flowing like a ripe peach. It’s a mess, but it’s wonderful.

I’m looking forward to Summer: warm days–like the whole day, longer days of light, and ice-filled beverages. I can’t wait for all of these things and more.

Sometimes the books I read shine a light (or cast a shadow) that is hard to ignore. This is what books are supposed to do–give you a new perspective. You need to be in the right headspace to take in the information, and you have to question the concepts to spin the idea from multiple […]
I’m losing track of this year. Spring forward with daylight savings has me out of sync. I’ve got too much to do and not enough time to do it. I’m keeping busy, but things are falling through the cracks. We’ve all been there–this will pass. Architecture Henning Larsen uses natural materials for Danish school extensionStraw, […]
Is it Tuesday already? I don’t know what happened in the last 7 days, but here we go again. Lots of visuals this week–less reading. That’s where I’m at too.

I finally got around to posting my 2022 book review post. It’s not as comprehensive as I would have liked, but rather than waiting for 3 months to pass, I opted for getting something up over making something perfect. Perfect is a lie anyway.

January is half over and I still haven’t completed my annual book reading summary. I just looked at last year’s post–it didn’t go up until March. I’m way ahead of the game for now. Illustration/3D A 3D Series on the power of Good HabitsCarlos Antón Varó is a 3D artist based in Madrid, Spain Web […]
