House Industries Portrait 1559

Amongst the greats

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. In all seriousness, though, I had a great time at […]

Graphic Artists Guild, Michael Doret, and Letterpress

What do all of these three subjects have in common? The answer is this past Saturday, October 23rd. 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. It was a fascinating […]

NYU Stern Sophomore Cohort Creativity Challenge Poster Alternative Colorways

NYU Stern Sophomore Cohort Creativity Challenge identity

NYU’s Stern School of Business commissioned us to create an identity for their new experience, the Sophomore Cohort Creativity Challenge, a series of events that are geared towards creating camaraderie among Stern sophomore students, while working towards positive goals in the local community. To that end, we created a look and feel that was applied […]

Sneak Preview: LA Printers Fair

Been spending quite a few Saturdays, including today, over at the International Printing Museum in Carson, the incredible local resource that will play home next week to the 2nd Annual LA Printers Fair. Alyssa has been creating block prints on her own for some time, so we brought her linoleum blocks (as well as a […]

Carnival Poster “Rescue”

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 […]

1958 World's Fair Atomium Poster by D'Hooge—Weltausstellung Brüssel

Second 1958 World’s Fair Poster Restored

After restoring my 1958 Dan Reisinger poster from the Brussels World’s Fair, I immediately sent off this poster for similar treatment. Depicting the Atomium, the still-standing symbol of the 1958 Expo, this poster seems to have been issued in a number of different languages (as was the Reisinger poster). I have the German edition—Weltausstellung Brüssel. […]

Restored 1958 Dan Reisinger Brussels Exposition Poster

It’s taken me a while, but I finally got around to having my Dan Reisinger 1958 Brussels World’s Fair poster restored. “Restored” is perhaps a strange term here—when I received it, it was in its original condition: folded five times. These posters advertising the 1958 Exposition in Belgium had been mailed out in envelopes, and […]

French Paper Pop Tone Sour Apple Square Envelope, hand block printed by Alyssa Zukas

Josh & Alyssa’s Album Cover Wedding Invitation

Back in November, when I posted the finished “Save the Date” postcard that Alyssa and I put together for our upcoming wedding, we still had not fully fleshed out the concept behind our actual invitation. But we did know a few things. It needed to be unusual, it need to reflect who we are, and […]

Clem Snide, The Meat of Life

Clem Snide “The Meat of Life” CD

  I was fortunate to be asked to provide some design and layout for Eef Barzelay and Clem Snide‘s forthcoming album, The Meat of Life, due out on February 23. The painting was done by my very talented friend Jen Uman, who has also posted some information about her process on her blog. The album […]
