2012 Upshur Street Craft Fair
Nh.d was excited to exhibit our work for the second year in a row at the Upshur Street Handmade Art & Craft Fair. This year we had loads of new material, and were asked to design the fair's look and feel, which featured a paper forest and even a Christmas Yeti! We introduced our version of the Christmas pickle (pickles being a studio favorite and all) which was screenprinted and hand-sewn, as well as our selection of other screenprinted media, including prints, postcards, tote bags and our booklet rendition of Aesop's Fables, which is a sneak peek into a larger project that's a work in progress.

I took a letterpress class with a few friends this summer and this is what emerged. For the last project, a reductive block print, I used an illustration I did a few months earlier of spoons in various sizes and shapes.
Just a Few Lines
I recently took some of my sketches, patterns and such and screen printed them on an 18 x 24 sheet of newsprint in an edition of 40.
Bit O’ Sun

The Spinster & The Belgian
Here's a little illustration I recently put together of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. I'm a big fan of old mysteries so I decided to illustrate two of my all time favorites.

As part of a self-initiated brief for a foundation project at the Chelsea College of Art & Design, Joseph Egan combines graphic design and architecture to form Anamorphic Typography.
Folding Pixles
There's no questions that I'm always drawn to the simple and elegant – especially when thoughtful. Aggregates by John Houck represents just that.
Moleskin Art
Just ran across this some great Moleskin art from illustrator & designer Andy Gosling. I really love the way the artist pairs his illustrations opposite some really beautiful patterns.

For this session we focused on a on a one-night type and image project. Capturing photos from the neighborhood with our cell phones we paired our found imagery with dissected text from a series of Aesop Fables printed in Times New Roman in various weights.

Reduction
I'm always interested in work that's reductive in some way – work that emphasizes simplification and distills an idea into its basic meaning.
The Monobloc
One of my closest friends recently gave me a book titled The Infamous Chair. It's a book dedicated to the Monobloc – that ubiquitous white plastic chair that mega brand stores like Target and Wallmart sell year-round.
Good Lookin’
I really love the clean straight forward visuals of Paul Tebbott's work. His sharp lines that contrast with the smooth, and his use of color is so strong and decisive.
All Types
Looking to do something different with type? Friends of Type is doing some pretty cool stuff with words. Using paper, wood, motion to create beauties like

I recently received my copy of Hugo & Marie's Newwork Magazine No.6. It's so good looking with it's black and white images and clean layout.

Butt Monkeys, Pickle Patches, & Brown Stuff
Here are some drawings I've been busting out recently for fun. Maybe they'll turn into something bigger, but for now I'm just making 'em to make 'em.
