Poster design: Brandon Satterlee

I'm Baaaaaaaaack!

C'mon! You knew I was gone! I haven't posted the past three days!

Bad news first. I still do not have my S Clyde Weaver strawberry jam. You see, jam, considered a security risk by the TSA, if in a container larger than 3.4 oz, cannot be brought on the plane. It would have to be checked in the event that someone went JAM CRAZY while on board the plane. I have been assured it will be sent!

Good News! Had an amazing time speaking at Kendall College of Art and Design, hence the poster. Lots of talent, great teachers and damn good dining! But it was all about the students and their work. And like I said, there was great work to be seen. It was especiial nice for me to see other student work and other projects, as I often see the same projects over and over at Columbia, completely understandable, but gets kind of tired nonetheless.

My presentation was better received than I had thought it would. It was loosely titled, "The Non-Linear Inspiration of a Designer." And loose it was! It was kind of a wild ride through what I see and how I look at things differently and how it somehow infect the work I do as a designer, and inspire those I teach and INTERdependently share myself with. To briefly explain the presentation, I showed images from my right wrist x-ray to one of the worst gifts I ever received, my cat's tail, and my 5 degrees of connection to Kevin Bacon!

Will be posting some Grand Rapids highlights over the next few days!
