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.

4.29.12_mother & child reunion
I used a brayer and paint to create the background blocking texture. The chicken and eggs were drawn with a charcoal pencil. Once scanned in, I added the color. Type was created in LetterMpress. Paul Simon learned the phrase "mother and child reunion" when he ordered chicken and eggs in a Chinese restaurant. I love his song, and the irony of the phrase.
