My Daily Six

In 2012, I challenged myself to create something new every day. The parameters? Use six words. As the year progressed, I ended up breaking the 6-word rule but the main point was to explore imagery, investigate form and texture, and, of course, play with type. You'll see a range of work. Much of it was influenced by what took place that day, everything from the weather to politics. Some of the results were stunning, some not so much. But that's what the creative process is all about.

Spending 10 straight hours at work today with no lunch brought this phrase to mind. Type was set in LetterMpress then assembled in Photoshop.

1.29.12_atom met bomb

This is a revised version of a page in an Abecediary book I've been working on. The subject matter is the atom bomb. I'm strangely fascinated by the history of the bomb, the science, but I abhor what it has done and what it stands for.

1.28.12_the white rabbit

He may look sweet and innocent but, trust me, he is after your blood. Giant wooden rabbits, cows being tossed from castles, monks hitting themselves in the head with books...what can't British humor employ to good effect! Make a knight of it, see Spamelot.

Played with collage today and combined with one of my favorite typefaces, Eames Century Modern.

Bad fax provides great texture. It also represents my disappointment with some people today.
