DESIGN GEEKINESS

Ampersands are sexy.

Below are a few other images of his design work...

SONS OF MILES (FINAL)



My 9th semester at the Academy of Art is over. 9th SEMESTER! I've been going there every Summer, Fall & Spring since 2004. I thought about taking this Summer off (especially since I'm not getting any financial aid this Summer...grrr) but I'm so close! If all keeps going well, I'll be graduating next Spring.

Anyway, My Type 3 book, "Sons of Miles" is done. See it above. Better pictures to come. I'll be making prints from the art work in it, if anyone is interested.

"SONS OF MILES"

The book I'm working on for my Type 3 class, "Sons of Miles," is 13 days away from being finished. Here's the "approved" cover (well, part of it, the right side got a little cut off...not in the mood to upload another):



I'm happy with it...not thrilled but happy.

Thoughts?

A TASTE...

...of a Miles Davis book I'm working on in my Type 3 class. 100+ pages. It'll be perfect bound and I'll be getting 3-5 made (depending on how much i dig it ;))



What do you think? Don't say nice things just to say nice things either!
