This is my response to a fun activity that some co-workers and I have been doing during lunch. Getting together to make quick, fun, experimental art pieces. The first session focused on our Halloween costumes. This next one may be sculptural as well.

Some ideas:
This is what I meant by Robot thingie:

We could print blanks and draw our own characters on it by hand.



We could make our own paper sculptures much like the Curiosity Group:

It would be cool to independently make objects but then they have to live together.
Or make a quick set and iPhone record a quick skit in the set.

I was helping out on a project at work where a team of co-ops and interns came up with a problem and a solution. The problem is everyone at work comes in and gets their work done, but in a creative environment is there room to break out of your comfort zone, get away from the computer and work with people you typically don't work with.

So the team created a Social Not-Work event where we got away and sketched together, created a mural together and starred in funny Facebook-inspired profile pics. It was really fun and liberating. I'm thinking of carrying on the torch for them, maybe inviting fellow designers to craft lunches where we create random things together.




I'm working on some fun posters for an October fun race at Devou Park. I'm inspired by some of the work of Jay Ryan and Bird Machine, although my work (bottom right) is a bit looser and less cute. There is still some time to finesse...

I'm just trying to get back to the hand-drawn work I was experimenting with earlier. I have an idea about it being Halloween but I might be missing the mark on what the event it about.


A couple quick identity sketch concepts for an excellent photographer and friend. I hope to make a lovely mark and a slightly intrusive watermark. The bottom captures the idea of a shutter/bike wheel in a pretty color wheel — this might look lovely with overlapping transparent shapes.
