Rethinking Louisville’s soccer brand

What would it take to keep Louisville City FC’s brand from committing another red card offense? — Soccer fans have seen this before.

Tall Tale in a Small Space

In July, eBay’s Portland outpost put out a request for proposals from artists to decorate their new third-floor office spaces. The brief suggested themes like The Portland Horse Project, Beverly Cleary, Rose City Rollers, Darcelle and Paul Bunyan. As I contemplated sundry possibilities, I kept returning to one of my…

Andrew Got Cancer

It’s okay! He’s in remission and didn’t die! Buy a T-Shirt! — In June of 2016, my best friend called to tell me he had cancer. It made sense in the context of our lives. We had reached our mid-30s and had grown weary of the tedium in our daily rigor. Cancer was a good pick for anyone with a natural inclination…

You Won’t Believe How My Kickstarter Was Funded 600%…and So Can You!

Medium has weird header leading; it needs a subtitle to look right — I have been making Futura Bracket since 2011 and sharing it with wider audiences online (through Tumblr, Twitter and email) since 2012. So long as I enjoy NCAA basketball, it is something I will continue to make in perpetuity, even if the audience is just me. Futura Bracket is a…

Yep: Nope (Part I)

Preface: Cool Word Combinations That Just Mean “Collaboration” and a Moderate Dose of Excessive Self-Importance — This is a story of syzygy and synergy. Or, rather, the story of the byproduct of that story. Our heroes aligned and allied to illustrate and design four posters for a theater—whose plays had not yet been written (they were still being adapted from their respective looong books)—regardless of working…

Be Kind Online

Collaborative Constraints — For the second time, BT Livermore and I decided to make something together. And for the second time, we were faced with laying out parameters for the project. Over a quick beer, we decided the collaboration would yield: a poster in the style of the WPA concerning a contemporary subject …
