This one's a design thing more than an art thing, but it's kinda' fun. This was inspired by a vintage postcard that Ray had, particularly the 3D typography. Vector-based illustration and design, to be printed on 17"x11" paper to advertise the party that needs no advertising at Commonwealth. Honest-to-Goodness Mint Juleps! Some older posters after… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Party poster
(sneak peek of site in development) It’s another gorgeous fall day, and I ought to’ve gone out there much earlier, but when you catch some flow on a project, it’s criminal to interrupt, even for such a gift of a day. I’ll head out soon, though, before the sun’s gone. I’ve been indulging in some good… Continue reading the coffee is working
January has been a month of much reading. It started out with a lot of watching, but morphed into a tuneless, commercial-free zone of reading. I’ve nearly read this personal finance blog from beginning to (almost) current; and stumbled upon sexpigeon this week, which is hilarious in a quiet, actual person voice kinda way; been… Continue reading Winter pursuits: reading

So I repeat, here, that tomorrow, Saturday DECEMBER 18, at Brooklyn Craft Central's Holiday Food & Craft Fair –LITTLEFIELD SPACE– everything for sale from Electrofork will be * SERIOUSLY ON SALE! * Absurd markdowns for ONE DAY ONLY!!

The resin for these has yet to be poured– these are in progress. They will begin… Continue reading time for new jewelry!

While we were there, the DIGIT expo was going on at the Arts Alliance gallery in Narrowsburg, including the "Quick & Gritty Video Slam"– a project whose requirements involved shooting footage in the town between Friday and… Continue reading DVAA Digital Media Expo
February sped past, huh? I know, I'm always writing about T I M E. The graphic design business has picked up again– here i am suddenly working on about seven or eight projects at once, after the dearth of projects that was known as January. It goes this way. Additionally I have been working on… Continue reading Burning the candle at both ends
Noticed I got an editor's pick this morning, Calendria having been featured on this blog entry on Etsy. And I noticed too late, apparently, as there was a sudden jump in traffic to my etsy shop yesterday and the calendars were sold out of the shop overnight! Poor timing! But more have been added today.
Another busy day. I've added some new things to my etsy shop over the past couple of days, with more to come tomorrow, so go do some holiday shopping! (Expedited shipping is available– convo before buying...) Also signed up to a new server today and began the transfer process. Since I've haven't done this before,… Continue reading New jewelry listed on etsy today
