Here are some photos from the Hug Life show at Giant Robot over the weekend! I’ll be helping them out with a website in the coming weeks. On another note…This Friday I am looking forward to snowboarding for the first time this season. I’ve never picked up the first chair, but I plan to go early enough this time to get it!

I need to learn PHP. I came across this site while thumbing through the cards I picked up during my visit to CCA. I really like the fading images. I am thinking of adding that to my website as soon as I can figure out how to make it. lol.

Next week I will learn how to handle the film for creating silk screened images onto clothing. but this week I will try to catch up on some sleep.

Last Wednesday I was dying paper again with coffee because the last batch got attacked by mold. Anyways, I forgot to wear gloves and I ended up absorbing all the caffeine though my fingers. I didn’t realize this until I was was wide awake in bed at 4am in the morning, that I forgot to wear gloves.

Some cool stuff going on right here. I might have to buy this book now. Wait, I found something much cooler! I am gaga for information design!! xoxo

Below is the dyed paper being put to use. It’s a emergency cold & flu kit. this was my first time making this so the production was not as sharp as I hoped it would be. i plan to produce two more by April so I should have the production down enough to add it to my portfolio.
