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.

3.26.12_moss &: day one

I'm excited to try growing moss in the shape of type. This is day one of my test piece, an ampersand inspired by the typeface Barcelona. Above are images from my process: mixing the concoction in the blender, painstakingly brushing it onto my plywood board...now, I wait. Check back for progress!
