We just found out from a fellow Kernie that our wedding invitations were chosen as being among the top twenty four FPO (For Print Only) entries of 2010. A fantastic way to end the year, methinks. Thank you, Bryony and Armin!

I am truly undeserving of the placement I received yesterday on House Industries’ blog. Who would be so daft as to place me in the same post as Jimmy Kimmel, JJ Abrams, Deborah Sussman, Paul Frank, Coop, etc.? Not to mention the House folk themselves.

As a member of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Graphic Artists Guild, I helped to plan the Guild-sponsored “Evening with Michael Doret,” a splendid presentation by the accomplished graphic/type designer and letterer.

When our friends Jen & Noah came to stay with us recently, we jointly decided it would be a good idea to make each other mixtapes/mix-CDs/mix-p-threes after everybody had to return back to real life. Alyssa and I went straight to work on “Gonetimes,” a mix of music mostly themed around sadness, loss, and loneliness, […]

Some people hoard animals in need of a good home; I hoard posters. While my friends (link 1 and link 2) were in town, we headed over to Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles, where a street fair augmented the already-festive atmosphere of the oldest part of LA. I spotted this hard-to-miss, day-glo poster and […]
Josh Korwin has been running Three Steps Ahead, a creative design studio, since the late 1990s.
