Spring is here?

It's March 20th, oh no, take that back, 21st, and 85 degrees here in Chi-town. Joggers, bikers, dog walkers (that's me!), stroller pushers - none of us know what to make of this phenomenon. But from the looks of it, nobody's complaining.

Here's a shot of my neighbor's gooorgeous tree. I don't know what it is, so if anyone out there does, I'd much appreciate the shout out.

I Have a Nephew!

Dumpster Dive'n

John and I found this computer chair in our building's dumpster. He did the sanding and staining and I tried my best to cover it. VIOLA!

ps. it's hard for me to give this post that title without referencing Portlandia. preeeeeeetty funny.

Cake or Death

Have you ever had an irrational thought that you might just DIE if you don't get something?! Most adults remember thinking that pre-kindergarten, but I have those thoughts still! And my most current craving is for these cakes. I might. just. die. if I don't get some of these prints.

Fabulous paintings by Paul Ferney.

Extra Mile Logo

When Love INC of Columbia, Missouri emerged a few years ago, few people imagined how far it would reach and how many people it would help. It's still growing and changing, but today there are three main divisions - The Love Seat, First Impressions (and the newest edition) Extra Mile. 

The Love Seat is a furniture bank. First Impressions is a professional clothing closet, and Extra Mile is a one-on-one adult mentoring program. All of these services are available to those in need.

For me as a designer, what this means is a little family of logos. The first couple are drafts and the third is the final Extra Mile logo.

Below are the existing Love Seat and First Impressions logos.
