Did I say that out loud?

This is what I'm going to do.

Nate Race

2011-11-10T15:25:00.000-08:00

Way back during the grand ol' Summer of 2011, a claim was made. My coworker Nate professed that he could beat RJ and myself while wearing clubbing shoes and jeans, all the while smoking a cigarette in a footrace. I simply would not stand for such ridiculousness and decided that we must settle the debate in the form of a one mile footrace. Said race was dubbed the First Not-Likely-To-Be Annual Nate Race. The results were a bit surprising. See for yourself in the video below.

*To my mother, father and grandparents I would like to apologize for the obscene gesture I may or may not be making in the video. It was for jokingness sake. I am very much aware that this poor sense of humor plays a large part in the fact that I have yet to find a suitable gentleman caller. Please forgive me of my crudity.

Typographic Music Video

2011-11-08T08:47:00.000-08:00

I'm saving this video on here, so I never forget it. I feel like I could watch it for hours staring at the type treatments. Sorry I never blog anymore.

Whimsical print ads

2011-05-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

I'm posting this because I love the dark photography in these ads with fairy tale scenarios. They look very Tim Burton. Ads by Ogilvy & Mather, Mexico

Camp fires

2011-05-04T20:20:00.000-07:00

My friend Allie's 25th birthday was yesterday. Her boyfriend bought a fire pit as a present, so they could have campfires and such. But, to make the pit more personal, he gave her smores making materials, ghost story books, a flashlight and coupons designed by me. The coupons are for campfire songs. Allie is to pick a song of her choosing and Elliot has to play it on the guitar. There were ten of these coupons that we held together with rope. I should have taken a photo of them built out. I'll add that later.

Squirrely Calendars

2011-04-19T22:15:00.000-07:00

I made calendars this year for my friends and family. I drew and colorized every piece of these calendars. Each month shows the boy squirrel playing a prank on the girl squirrel. The pranks involve activities that happen during each corresponding month. I have a few calendars left for those of you who I have not seen in a while or did not send me your mailing address, you all should know who you are, friends. If you want one for the last half of 2011, let me know.

Camp Cactus Gear

2011-04-19T22:04:00.000-07:00

We are currently undergoing a renovation of the regular Cactus building and are staying temporarily in what we have affectionately been calling "Camp Cactus." In December, I was given the fun project of making Camp Cactus swag. I created a Camp Cactus logo, which you can see on the canteen. Designed tshirts for all to wear. Made a stencil of the Camp Cactus logo. Spray painted the logo onto bags, which I didn't photograph yet. And designed a survival guide. The survival guide was the most fun because copywriter Mike King and I filled it with delightful Cactus inside jokes (and made up the term BroDo - Dude Bros that hang out in LoDo). Plus, I got to illustrate everything by hand to keep the look in-line with boy scout guides. In addition to the survival tips, we included a map of the surrounding area with hot-spots to check out. The drawing on the back of the guide is of our head hauncho Joe.

Charity Invites

2011-04-19T21:51:00.000-07:00

I have a lot of updating that needs to be done, as usual. New work, new life events that are sort of boring but still new. The life events, not the work. So, I'm kind of thinking of restarting my blog and maybe building it from scratch myself. I have some issues with the formatting currently. I'm thinking wordpress? Anyone have any thoughts?

Oh and these are wedding invitations, RSVP card and programs that I designed for my friend Charity. She got married in Costa Rica, so I had the opportunity to make some really fun wedding goods. I printed and trimmed all the pieces at my house. Charity helped with the trimming as well. These were printed on Neenah Crane Lettra paper, and they feel so freaking nice. Sorry for the crappy photos. One of these days, I will take high-quality images of my work.

Ain't Life Grand

2011-02-13T21:17:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. So, here is my 2010 year in review in the form of photographs. Lots of weddings, some traveling, some western stuff, some southern stuff, lots of family and friends and sunshine. And, whoa! It's already February 13. Holy cow.

Look at my family.

2011-02-06T23:32:00.000-08:00

Just look at them.
My sister Christina is really awesome. She knit a hat for me that I could have sworn was store bought. I'll have to photograph it later. Seriously, what a talented lady. Also, she knit a pair of mitten gloves for me that everyone assumes I purchased from either J.Crew or Urban. I love family. And friends. So much. Just thought I should let you all know that.

In other news, I'm terrible about underestimating the amount of time work takes me. So, this weekend I worked. But also snowboarded a little and watched the Stillers rather unfortunately lose.

One more thing. Natalie Portman is annoying. So, is Anne Hathaway. But, Ryan Gosling has a band. They are kind of weird and creepy but also surprisingly good. Check out this video. It's a little slow, but just watch hipster Gosling sing and wear a vest and be beautiful.

All Men are Liars

2011-02-01T21:42:00.000-08:00

I was on my way home from work this evening and heard this song by Nick Lowe for the first time. It is now my new theme song.

It's pretty common when running, at least for me anyway, to be either really happy and excited about life or to think about a subject matter and become increasingly annoyed. Lately, while running/working out, I have been terribly frustrated with the entire male population. All of you suck. Except for you, Dad. You are awesome.

Gwenyth Paltrow, Glee, Rain, Ella ella

2010-11-17T12:51:00.000-08:00

I felt like last night's episode redeemed Glee of the terrible "Grilled Cheesus" episode. But sorry Gwenyth, your voice has no distinctive qualities and leaves much to be desired. The video above (from last night obviously) features my favorite mash-up ever done on Glee.

More photos of my parent's visit

2010-11-11T17:42:00.000-08:00

Maybe I'll add more a description of the trip later.

Yo homies

2010-11-09T20:35:00.000-08:00

I suppose it is time I give all y'all a little update or two. So, while I waste more trees than I can count printing a shit-ton of stuff, I'll tell you all what's up.

First things first. I speedily finished book 7 of Harry Potter, losing sleep to do so. I think I have the right to call myself a fan now. I recently took one of those dumb quizzes on Facebook that mean nothing where you are asked questions to find out "What city you should live in" or "What Disney princess you would be". The quiz I took though was to find out what Hogwarts house I would be in, and I got Hufflepuff. At first, I was kind of disappointed because Hufflepuff puts out the most Squibs (wizards that can't do spells), but then I realized that they are the nicest ones and are known for being loyal. I think that fits. Also, Cedric Diggory was in Hufflepuff, but we all know what happened to him. He died and went to Twilight (Allie's joke, can't take credit).

I also finished my former professor Art Novak's book, Doglegs. If you love dogs, you should probably read it. I'll give you all more details later.

All of my single friends are dropping like flies. I personally don't understand why people get married. Maybe some day I will. But right now it seems a little absurd. Anyway, my beautiful and hilarious friend Ansley got married a couple of weeks ago. Her wedding was adorable and definitely fit her personality. Oh, and by the way, I'm determined that she move to Denver and use her talents in this heavenly city. So, if anyone reads this blog who is in a position to hire a witty and talented young copywriter, take a look at her website. And while you're at it, I know another aspiring talent that would do our city some good, Meg Keiffer. And here is her link.

Anyway, so Ansley got married and just to give you an example of her fun personality, she walked down the aisle with her dad to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" played on acoustic guitar and sung by two dudes. It was great.

As for what is new with me, not much. I'm just plugging away at work. Running mucho mucho. Finishing up some materials for my friend Charity's wedding, which I will post when everything is complete. And beginning wedding invites for another friend who is getting married. See didn't I tell you? Flies. Dropping. Oh, also, my friends Allie, Elliot and I captured a bee and named it after our Creative Director. The bee's full name: Norm Shearer the human. Maybe you don't find that entertaining, but I do.

Oh, one more thing, I've been doing some writing for a wonderful local magazine on modern architecture and design, Modern in Denver. The next issue will be the third one that I have had an article in. It's pretty fun to work on these articles, and I've been learning a good deal more about modern designers, which I think is pretty important. My next educational task I'm going to take on is to do some independent studying on the history of the South. That's right kids, I'ma gonna be wavin' that Confederate flag proudly. No, I won't be doing that. I'll just be reading up on the dirty dirty because the South is full of fascinating heritage, history and folklore.

Peace out brohemes.

Happy birthday Dad

2010-09-17T16:40:00.000-07:00

Happy birthday to the funniest person I know.

Some things I've learned from you over the years:

Busted Busted now you get dusted. nananananna

Beboop Be bo be boo (your early morning alien language)

Roly Poly Daddy's Little Fatty
Bead nose bead nose, you're a bead nose. Bead nose bead nose, you're a bead nose.

Every party needs a pooper. That's why we invited you. Party pooper.

Golden Corral. Bigger and better than ever.

Lobster tail.

Here come the men in black. Pickin their nose for a snack.

Don't make plans and you'll never be disappointed.

More than one tear is a sign of weakness.

Quick steps around the tree.

Put your butt in the gut and box her out.

Sarah's workshop-type stuff.

Charlie Brown dance.

Parallel parking like it ain't no thang.

And many, many more things.

Thank you for being the best dad in the whole world. And for all the goofiness over the years.

And here's a little song for you:

Post its

2010-09-14T21:32:00.000-07:00

I've been M.I.A. lately, sorry about that. A little of what has been going on lately. I moved from Boulder to Denver to be closer to work. I thought I wasn't going to like Denver as much as I like Boulder, you know, with the lack of mountains and all. But, I have been enjoying myself thus far.

Another change that is kind of a big deal for me is that I'm living by myself for the first time in my life. It's been a weird adjustment, but I'm kind of loving it. And the thing I like most about living alone is that I get to decorate exactly the way I want, which has proved to be pretty great and led to many weekends of visiting loads of flea markets, and in turn, spending the rest of the day as a mouth breather (because of the dust, you know). But, it's worth it.

Oh, and this summer, my parents visited for a week and a half. Maybe I've mentioned this before. I can't remember. What else have I done? What else? Oh, yeah, I went to Salt Lake City with French to go to Ikea and have a Glee-filled road trip. I went to Water World quite a bit and realized that nipple-rings are pretty legit. My friends tried to enter me into a rap battle because I've got such good rhymes and am pretty gangster. Oh, and I'm training for another marathon. I haven't picked one out yet because I'm trying to be super cautious and slowly rebuild a strong base before I get into speed workouts and long, long runs. I am determined to stay injury-free this time. Anyway, I'll post pics of summer adventures at a later date.

For now, want to see what I've done with the shit-ton of post it notes I bought a few months ago?

That little sketch at the beginning of this post is how I began the post-it note creation. I ran out of room and didn't give the milk carton a face. "The best laid plans..."

Hobbit home

2010-09-03T09:19:00.000-07:00

Hi. I came across this little home in California, and all I have to say is that it is now my dream home. I could be like a little hobbit. Feel free to come over for elevensies anytime you want. Ok?

Avalon Sales Kit

2010-08-23T20:38:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to show all y'all one of the projects I have worked on since I started at Cactus. The piece was part of the unveiling/launch of Avalon's newest ship the Panorama. It is a booklet of sorts held together by a screw on the top left corner with highlights about the ship on the front of each card and photos to show off the ship on the back side of the card. The booklet and an Avalon branded USB is enclosed in the tin and sealed with a bellyband.

Yay! First printed piece at Cactus.

New Lottery spot YEah!

Why Trader Joe's Should Open a Denver Location

2010-08-08T21:42:00.000-07:00

I thoroughly enjoy how all these wonderful businesses are opening franchises in Denver. Perhaps, you Colorado natives disagree with me seeing as how it's not really shopping local. But, before you go judging me, be aware that I too support the little guy, but I can also appreciate when my favorite pizza place EVER opens a restaurant on the 16th street mall. Yeah, I'm talking about you, Mellow Mushroom. Also, it will be loads more convenient once the closest Ikea is not an 8 hour drive to Salt Lake City, not that I didn't enjoy my recent road trip immensely. Ahhh Fall 2011 opening of Denver Ikea, you are so close, yet sooo far away. And let me tell you where I just went to delight in some free yogurt...Yogurtland. A big thanks to Allie for getting YL into Denver. You see, not too long ago, she wrote to Yogurtland, saying how they should open a store in Denver. So, to take a page out of Allie's book, I just wrote to Trader Joe's. Why you might ask. For the following reasons:

1) The first and therefore most obvious reason, Trader Joe's is awesome.
2) healthy food, without the Whole Foods arrogance
3) 3 Buck Chuck (forgive me if it is 2 buck, but I'm pretty sure it is 3 bucks)
4) Honey people. It's a Kashi brand that is kind of similar to Honey Nut Cheerios. Kind of. And I have never seen it anywhere except in my cousin's dorm room. But, she got that box from Trader Joe's, obviously or I would not have mentioned it.
5) Joey O's. Trader Joe's brand of Oreos.
6) Nicely designed packaging as you can see from the Trader Joe's brand of vanilla pudding that I bought simply because I liked the design.
7) Did I mention the cheap, but delicious wine, 3 Buck Chuck? Oh, I did? Well, it's worth mentioning again.

I'm going to end with that because I like odd numbers. But, before I go, see how easy it is to request a Trader Joe's move to your area(see below)? So, you should do it too, if you agree with me that is. And don't you worry your pretty, little head, I'll start calling their office to see if I might persuade them over the phone.

Alexandra and Lizz's video of happiness

2010-08-02T08:24:00.000-07:00

Allie and her sister Liz made this awesome, happy video for a contest ModCloth is holding. They make a lot of entertaining videos under the name Sistersalad, check 'em out here if you want (I highly recommend it).

Denver Art

2010-07-18T22:36:00.000-07:00

Every morning, I take the bus from Boulder into Denver to go to work. Every morning, the bus arrives at Union Station, where there is a large construction project taking place. And what comes with a large construction project is a few large mounds of dirt and fencing surrounding the site. One lovely morning as I was walking past the area as I normally do, I was surprised by beautifully knitted flowers running the length of the fence. It was a wonderful site and an excellent start to the day. Now, I get it excited to see the flowers every morning and seriously can't take my eyes away from them. However, there are people, also commuting to work I assume, who act like they don't even notice the display. What is the deal with that? The only conclusion I can make about these people is that they are the ones that I mentioned in one of my previous posts that most likely do not care for puppies, fun, or frosties.

Anyway, thank you to the artist (LFS I'm guessing on account of the ants) who spent so many hours working on this. I don't know you, but you are a wonderful human.

More photos to supplement the polaroid:

More of Seattle

2010-07-18T22:13:00.000-07:00

And here's an in depth look at what I did when I was in Seattle during Memorial Day Weekend of 2010.

Azaleas. So glad these were blooming when I was in town. They are kind of one of my favorite floral beauties of springtime.

Isn't my Cousin Audrey cute? That's her roommate Honnah in the photo on the left and some blonde girl behind them on the bus possessing a pretty smug look. Wonder what that's about.

Taking funny/fun pictures is one of my most favorite pass times. Behold, a photo frame sculpture perfect for the touristy picture bug in anyone; a gum wall near Pike Place; jumping photos on top of the city of Seattle; and awkward poses propped against Gas Works.

An architecture firm whose signage is mah-vah-lus. And a pretty rad looking contemporary home. These were taken in the Queen Anne area, which is where my cuzzy cuz lives because she attends Seattle Pacific University.

An artist's hilarious interpretation of McDonald's and Burger King.

Audrey took me on a walking tour of locations seen in the movie "Ten Things I Hate About You," and then naturally, we watched the film. See if you recognize the above sites. If you don't, then I pity you.

Experience Music Project looked like an awesome building. We went inside briefly, but we had bigger fish to fry, I'm referring to Folk Life, a hippie, Memorial Day weekend festival in Seattle.

Seattle's troubadours were really quite good. In the bottom photo, the couple on the left was really gettin' down. They liked to party. Thanks to many episodes of "Gilmore Girls" for dropping the term troubadour into my vocabulary.

And last but not least, a very high bridge that people like to jump from.

Sorry I just had to

2010-07-18T20:48:00.000-07:00

So, I was sitting here listening to Band of Horses and the above song, "Part One" began playing, and I felt compelled to share. The last line is the best and always makes my heart pitter patter. Wait for it, wait for it..."drive back to Carolina, down to Savannah and stay." Oh, how the south warms my soul, literally and figuratively.

Did you get that play on words?

Some Goodies

2010-07-18T20:39:00.000-07:00

I've been requested to share more about life on this here blog, so that's what I'ma start peppering back in. While looking for some great Seattle photos to share, I found these quality images from way back when on Cinco de Mayo. Phew, it feels like that was ages ago.

Ahhhh, I love flowers. But, everyone does, except for maybe a person who hates fun and puppies and frosties, then it wouldn't surprise me at all if that person did indeed hate flowers as well.

I found these of roommate Kyle and me to be particularly humorous. Especially the top one in which Kyle is making a disgusted face.

It's the Guerri's! Alex's facial hair is fantastic, don't cha think? Colonel Sanders? Hmm?

Blue and White

2010-07-05T22:15:00.000-07:00

My parents were here visiting for a week and a half. It was awesome. And my sis came to visit for the long weekend. Oh, how I love family! My pops snuck up on me and took this photo. No pose or anything. For me, the photo has a deep, nay, extremely deep meaning, with a bit of foreshadowing by depicting how I plan to live my life and what my focus will be during this upcoming basketball season. No more slacker Duke fan here. It's back to stalking the players for this girl.

Dad was right about the macaroons

2010-06-25T23:15:00.000-07:00

We've got two interns at Cactus this summer, who are quite the characters. Marton and Osa (real name Jerome) share an uncanny resemblance to Borat and Justin Bieber. When they showed up to work this morning, they were greeted with this sight. Marton seemed pretty excited about it. I didn't see or hear about Osa's reaction, but I'm sure he was filled with merriment.

Bike From Work Bash is today

2010-06-21T20:03:00.000-07:00

After a long week of work, Allie and I decided to take advantage of our season passes to Elitch Gardens on Friday. We played parkour, got called a nasty name by a girl in bunny ears, and met the next Miley Cyrus who followed us around. Here's just a taste of all the fun we had.

Song about praying

2010-06-16T11:01:00.000-07:00

Dad, this is the song I was talking about. It's pretty excellent.

My mom is good at braiding among other things

2010-06-15T16:56:00.000-07:00

I was home this weekend for my BFF's wedding. My mom braided my hair for the occasion. Then, after looking through some old family albums, I found a similar photo from when I was 7. My padre loves to take photos like this and Mom gets embarrassed. They are funny people.

Seattle Signs

2010-06-08T21:48:00.000-07:00

I have a sincere fondness for all things Americana. I also really enjoy signage, especially if the signage has a vintage-y look. For part one of my tales of my visit to Seattle, well I guess part two if you count the one where I said that I would be posting about my trip. But that didn't really talk about Seattle at all. Anyway, for part one (or two), here's a glimpse of some of the beautiful signage that Seattle has to offer.

A cool photo collection

2010-06-07T20:34:00.000-07:00

My friend Allie sent me this awesome link. It's a set of photos featuring people and whatever they have on their person. Some selections are better than others. But cool idea, right?

Yes I am a Pirate. 200 Years Too Late.

2010-06-06T23:17:00.000-07:00

Consider this me welcoming summertime with open arms. All you hipsters and music snobs may feel free to turn your nose up to Buffett as much as you like, but there is no better summer music than his. Except, CCR and maybe Crosby Stills and Nash. And a lot of country music provides some great summer tunes.

Anyway, I had a wonderful summer weekend. With lots of running, reading HP, getting a heavy dose of Vitamin D, obtaining a season pass to Elitch Gardens, etc. Anyway, I heard a Buffett song playing today, and I was reminded how much I love this time of year and warm weather. Who doesn't? So, here we go summertime.

Homes and stuff

Some day I want to live in a house that looks like these. I saw these images on this cool blog.

BFWB

2010-06-02T21:49:00.000-07:00

June 23, 2010 is Bike to Work Day for Denver. In honor of this, we are throwing a partay at Cactus: the Bike From Work Bash. I have heard rumors that last year's inaugural BFWB was caarazy. So, I'm really looking forward to this one. There will be stunts, beer from Breckenridge Brewery, Illegal Pete's, a DJ, fun people, bikes, etc. You can read details here.

Jorge Lamora designed this poster for BFWB. Isn't it wonderful? I want to be just like him when I grow up. Cuban and all.

Hello Seattle

2010-06-01T00:43:00.000-07:00

I went to Seattle this weekend to visit my cousin Audrey. We look alike. And we share our last name. Yep two little Riddles in Seattle. More to come later this week. Have no fear.

Hair cut?

2010-05-27T17:50:00.000-07:00

Allie and I stayed at work late last night. So, we decided to take a short break and walk to the park to cut my bangs.

This film was edited by the one and only Miss Alexandra Edwards.

Celebrity look alike

I found a new apartment.

Dancing

2010-05-23T22:29:00.000-07:00

I rarely ever go down to Pearl Street in the evenings, you know for the bars or whatever. If there is walking around and fro yo involved, well then it's a different story. However, a friend of mine's birthday was this weekend, so I changed my staying at home ways. And I eventually ended up meeting more friends where my terrible white girl dancing skills were put into practice. Anyway the reason for this post is really because my friend Meg sent me this video. I'm kind of obsessed now. And really, really wish that I could dance like him and that I had spent the weekend practicing.

Please watch this

2010-05-21T17:05:00.000-07:00

Dad sent this lovely bit of local news to me just now. Oh South Carolina. Note: this man's house is probably about a mile and a half or so from where I grew up. It's funny how when I was a wee lass, I had to play translator for my mom when encountering people with thick southern accents. But, I guess I have lost my touch because some of the things coming out of Robbie Clark's mouth sound like a foreign language.

In other news, did you all know that the comedian Aziz Ansari also grew up in South Cakalaki? I just learned that today. It gave me hope that maybe one day I too will be hilarious.

So as you all know, I work at Cactus, a sweet advertising agency in Denver. They have always made really top-notch work, and we're going to keep it that way yo. Please view the following spots that are airing for the Colorado Lottery. They're pretty funny if I do say so myself. And I do.

Things, things I want

2010-05-20T17:33:00.000-07:00

This website, Present & Correct, is full of wonderful vintage and fun items that I wouldn't mind owning or just staring at all the time. Also, the simple graphics of the site itself are pretty rad.

Bunk beds

2010-05-17T22:39:00.000-07:00

So I was thinking the other day that it might be fun to have bunk beds. Although, I'm not sure what exactly I would do with the bed that I wasn't sleeping on. Put sweet stuff on the bed I guess. But I just think it would be fun. And then I found this site...a bunk bed factory in Colorado Springs. How convenient.

Success!

2010-05-17T21:41:00.000-07:00

I found the engagement photo for my sista. Mind you, I made this like three plus years ago, so the clipping is pretty terrible, but that makes the photo even better. Mom was going to send this to the local paper for the engagement announcements. I don't know if she ever did.

The Riddles

2010-05-17T21:35:00.000-07:00

This is my family. I like them a lot. I photoshopped Tina in the photo because she wasn't there, and I thought it would be funny. If I can find the engagement photo I made for her a couple of years ago, I'm going to post it. There are penguins in it.

Forts

2010-05-17T21:25:00.000-07:00

Jordan and I used to build forts in our old apartment in Savannah. It was pretty fun but kind of messy after just a week of having it up. We had a few different constructions, but this one was by far the best. Also, we had a dog named Penelope, who is in that solo cup above. Everyone tried to hide Penelope from us, and Meg eventually found our dog a couple of months after she went missing. I still have Penelope; she keeps me company when I work late. Just a little reminiscing. I was looking for a pic of my sis and found these instead.

Nashville Relief Efforts

2010-05-16T22:43:00.000-07:00

I've seen quite a few posters lately to raise money for Nashville. Here's a link to a number of them. I haven't found any from Hatch Show Print, everyone's favorite Nashville letterpress shop, but hopefully they will be making one as well.

I can't even begin to imagine what people who are dealing with the realities of the destruction must be feeling. Much like Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti. However, it is nice seeing people try to do even a small part to help with these disasters.

Oh, and by the way, these posters are purchaseable. That's the big deal with them. All the proceeds go towards relief efforts.

My cousin shoots photos

2010-05-16T22:33:00.000-07:00

My cousin Amanda has been establishing a photography business in PA for a while now. She recently visited Washington, DC and has some photos from her trip of her fam that I like a lot. Plus an owl that reminded me of Harry Potter. Amanda, we must build a website for you or blog.

Harry Potter Owl

I think this is a cool shot.

I like this too.

And babies are cute. This is one of her little ones.

Toothas

2010-05-14T22:10:00.000-07:00

I found this blog called My Milk Toof recently and have just successfully wasted a large quantity of my waking minutes absorbed in the cuteness of the images. I picked my favorites from the blog, but they are all great images. I just really like these little guys. I wish I had thought of doing this project.

David Bowie is on the wall. Those are my kind of teeth.

I pulled this one in honor of Adam and Jordan. Because of the blueprints. I thought that was relevant to architecture/interior design.

I used to like to run

2010-05-13T19:34:00.000-07:00

And the part of me that still likes running, thinks this video memorial to Steve Prefontaine is sick. Pre, as he is known in the running community, died tragically in a car crash when he was 24, for those of you who have never heard of the runner of the '70s, whom many young kids still idolize. Nike likes to use him and/or his famous coach Bill Bowerman often in their ads. And a lot of the Nike shoe names have to do with Pre, Oregon (that's who he ran for), or Bowerman. There's the Coos because Pre was from Coos Bay. The Hayward because that is what the field at Oregon is called...Hayward Field. There are other references but like I said before, I'm not really in that community as much as I used to be. I've read once before that Bowerman had a large role in the beginning of Nike. He was pretty eccentric, kind of reminding me of Dumbledore from Harry Potter. But, I think he wasn't as nice as Dumbledore. He did, however, make shoes for his runners with a waffle iron. Cool, right?

Also, Pre has lots of famous, inspirational quotes, and My fav. is the one that is in this vid: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Thanks Megster for sending this to Tracy, causing the video to be in my Facebook newsfeed, thus leading me to watch it.

So Good Yull Slap Yo Mama

2010-05-12T00:15:00.000-07:00

A cup I acquired from a BBQ restaurant in Tennessee. I like the copy.

I thought this was pretty cool

2010-05-12T00:06:00.000-07:00

Whilst I was in the Chicago airport going home from Memphis, an ad caught my eye. And then after looking at it for more than 2 seconds, I realized it was an ad for Michigan State University created by 160over90. They were working on this brand concept while I was a wee intern there. Cool right?

Ducks

2010-05-09T23:18:00.000-07:00

So, I know you all know that I was in Memphis (Germantown rather), Tennessee because I've talked about the wedding only a million times at this point. Well, my parents stayed an extra day to do a bit 'o sightseeing before they traversed to Pittsburgh to see family. Dad sent me this video he took of the Peabody ducks, a Memphis tourist attraction. I think they are cute.

Fun and stuff

2010-05-09T23:05:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to show off some things that my friends Aleeeeee Geeee and Melissa made. Al painted those horns above. And he and Melissa made that table. Cool right?

The roommates and I had dinner at the Guerri's not too long ago. I thought this pic of the boys was funny. Here's a fun little tidbit or story: I don't have a photo to go along with this, but some time after dinner and before the girls kicked the boys' bootays in a little game of Cranium, I got up to use the restroom. When I came back, the boys had all taken their shirts off (I am really weird about nudity. I don't like it.) I had a feeling something like this was going to happen. Needless to say, my face turned 50 shades of red due to the sheer awkwardness of seeing them just sitting at the table shirtless.

Roids

2010-05-09T20:48:00.000-07:00

I attempted to take some polaroids of spring. The first one on the right was accidental, but I like how it came out. You see, I thought I was out of film, so I just pulled the camera trigger and as it turns out, I wasn't out of film. So, I got a photo of my backyard.

Spring

2010-05-09T20:41:00.000-07:00

Spring is upon us, and I love it. Here's what I did today: sat on my back porch all day and drew...thought about reading Harry Potter but never got there. Kristen and I did go on a nice hike in the sunny wondefulness of Boulder. AHHHH I love this weather so much.

She's not chubby. The Asian tourist pose just makes her appear that way.

Yes Spring. Yes.

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

This one's for you Mom (obviously).

You should hire this girl

2010-05-09T11:05:00.000-07:00

So my friend Jess (she created the above video to introduce herself for a spot on W+K's internship program) can really make some mean cupcakes. Puts my ridiculous efforts to shame. Check out this photo of the spaghetti and meatballs themed cupcakes.

It should also be known that she is a talented designer that any ad agency/design firm would be lucky to have. Especially all you Colorado agencies. Yeah Jessica Rilling in sunny Colorado. That sounds like the best plan ever to me. Think about it. Talented designer + sculpture-esque, delicious cupcakes. What more convincing do you really need?

Magic wallet/business card holder with Jess' print she designed.

AND MORE OF HER CUPCAKES! YUMMY

And Popcorn Cupcakes!

Forrest Gump cupcakes (Me and Jenny was like peas and carrots)

Like how I copywrote all of your cupcakes, Jess?

Toyota Avalon Campaign

2010-05-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

I was driving into Denver the other day, when a billboard caught my eye. A BILLBOARD. This doesn't happen often, as the world is filled with horrendous billboards, but this one was subtly beautiful. The outdoor board was part of Toyota Avalon's new campaign created by Saatchi and Saatchi, with pretty simple designs but details reminiscent of the mid-century, which I can't help but gawk over. If you check out their website, you will see some pretty great design treatments that show off the features of the car in not your typical "check out this dumb car" kind of way. But instead, they use different cities, keeping with the retro look, such as Hollywood, New Orleans, Miami, etc. to show of the cars attributes.

More from the Jordan Wedding

2010-05-08T14:16:00.000-07:00

Hi. I was just checking out my Google Reader and saw that the photographers who shot Jordan and Adam's wedding had a new post...a selection of the couple's photobooth pictures. And they are all pretty funny and cute. I cannot wait to see the photos from the wedding.

Our Labor of Love, a very adorable and immensely talented couple, shot the Jordan wedding. I think they have a wonderful eye for lighting and turn out very creative photos. Check out their site and blog and the smilebooth photos. I've decided Smilebooth is pretty sick by the way. There should be one at all weddings.

Lovely stop motion

2010-05-06T14:10:00.001-07:00

I think this is wonderful. Can you imagine how many photos it took to make this? Yikes.

A dumb story

2010-05-04T23:41:00.000-07:00

Many a times I do and say dumb things. This blog actually began so that I could showcase all the dumb/awkward things that take place frequently in my life. In honor of snowboarding season being over, I've decided to finally share this story. Actually, it's been on my list of things to do for quite some time now.

So, back in January, I went snowboarding with Roommate Kyle and some of his friends. We stopped in a snow apparel store in Breck. I was only carrying my french fry change purse (it's a change purse in the shape of a container of french fries in case you are wondering...it's rather cute) which only contains cash. I just so happened to have a decent amount of cash on hand, a rarity for me. So, I found this nice pair of snowboarding pants, and I was definitely in need of a new pair as my old ones were crap that I used to wear on the dinky North Carolina mountains. They were 50% off of $180. With the sales woman standing next to me, I exclaimed, "Sweet, what a sick deal man that's only 80 bucks, rad dude." And the sales woman was just like, "yeah," not correcting my mistake.

I tried them on. They fit well. I felt like a true shredder, not someone who busted her ass every time she stepped on the board (at that time in my snowboarding career, this was the case). I decided I would take them as I had just enough dinero to purchase the lovely pantalones.

Nice sales woman rang up my pants. The total was not $80. No, they were much more because if you know how to do basic math, you already have realized that 80 is not half of 180; 90 is half of 180, and this does not include tax. Well, at this point I didn't have enough cash on my person to buy the high-quality, beautiful pair of Volcom boarding pants. So, thoroughly embarrassed, and rosy-red cheeked, I apologized and thanked the woman for her time. I guess she i-chatted her boss at that moment (because that's what she said happened), and she told me her boss said to go ahead and give them to me for $81. I had just enough! So even though I felt like a moron in the end, my idiocity paid off. I got a really nice pair of pants for so much less than I should have. Yay stupid mistakes!

I'm a Cacti

2010-05-04T23:09:00.000-07:00

This post is a long time coming. As most of you already are aware, I've been working as a junior designer at Cactus, an advertising agency in Denver for a little over a month now. Additionally, most of you also know that I am thoroughly loving it. With a plethora of entertaining, humorous peeps (not the Easter candy, but like people, you know), cool work, a little sun roof-ish thing above my desk, and making decisions on my own projects. Also, I feel as though I've turned into more of a design nerd than ever before with all of the production goodies I have learned so far (after making what I feel to be dumb mistakes on my part). I even asked my mom to send my old book about printing and production that was required reading during college so that I can learn and really all understand all of the technical aspects of printing. EEEEEK I'm so excited to be working with all the Cacti. I just might pee a little.

Oh, and at the moment I've been commuting from Boulder every day into Denver, about a 30-ish minute bus ride. Along the way, I've had ample time to read Harry Potter. It's delicious. I'm in the middle of book four. On a very beautiful Denver day last week, we played the game, if you could be anywhere, where would you be? I said, "On my back porch, reading Harry Potter." My response was a little boring to my coworkers I guess.

Why would you not want to be on your back porch when you see something like this in the distance?

I took this from your blog French.

Just a little illustration work for yous

2010-05-04T22:51:00.000-07:00

Most people who know me realize that I am rarely happy with anything I make. Here is an occasion where I actually became pleased with what I was creating. This was a freelance project in which I was to create an identity system for a small Denver business, Casa Verde, that sells eco-friendly paint. I had initially designed these to be logo options, but there is a bit too much going on to be a logo, so I thought they would make nice posters (once I put color to them, mind you).

So, these are the black and white versions with the addition of color to come.

Just a glimpse

2010-05-03T23:25:00.000-07:00

Hey dudes. The double Jordan wedding was amazing, and I believe the weekend has officially topped my list of best weekend ever. I'll be posting more of this later. But for now here are some of my fav. photos from the weekend of love. And a David Bowie music vid just because I love him. My dad does not.

Hey friends, I love you.

Vintage ads

2010-04-28T09:23:00.000-07:00

My mum just emailed me these, and I thought they were quite humorous.

Another wedding post please forgive me

2010-04-26T22:22:00.000-07:00

I've been listening to this song for the past few weeks now. And I will continue to listen to it all week and all freaking weekend. Try and stop me. The reason: Jordan Jordan's wedding is on Saturday. In the words of Jordan, "Oh goodness." I'll be walking in Memphis and making a video and posting it on here and taking photos and seeing friends and family and dancing my arse off. And most importantly celebrating two very wonderful people and the fact that they like each other quite a bit. "Vas is dos."

If your name is not Anna, don't feel like you have to read this.

2010-04-26T22:15:00.000-07:00

Anna D, the person whom I have known the longest in my life aside from my family (a grand total of 22 years). The girl who I used to play Polly Pockets with and make homes out of shoeboxes for our Pound Puppies collection. The young lass who I've attended several basketball camps with (including one at Duke) and eventually played basketball against on our respective rival teams. The hardest person to wake up on the face of the earth, even when there is a huge crowd of rowdy boys outside the door throwing flowers and singing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," and when after jumping on her air mattress to awaken the sleeping beauty, she just pulls the covers over her head and mumbles something (vulgar I'm sure). A friend who no matter how much time has passed since the last time I saw her, things are normal and fun and we play charades or whatever and talk about the ways in which the Julia Roberts movie "Mystic Pizza" equals "Steak and I Eat It." Well Anna's getting married in like a month-ish. I designed some invites for her.

Maple Cupcakes

2010-04-26T21:59:00.000-07:00

I'm oh so behind on this. In February, yes I know that was ages ago bear with me, Ryan and I made maple cupcakes. Then, Melissa made frosting that was super delicious. I think it was an egg white frosting. There is still quite a bit of it left in the freezer even after having been smathered on a second batch of cuppercakes. Check out the photogs.

Al seemed to like them

And I think Frenchy did too.

My cousins' Easter

2010-04-14T20:13:00.000-07:00

I had a pretty uneventful Easter. I worked all weekend. But I did manage to score some discounted Easter candy the day after Easter. That was pretty awesome. So, I was just browsing around Facebook as my cousin had posted pics from Easter. Amanda, if you are reading this, I hope you don't mind me sharing these delightful little moments.

My uncle put Amanda's baby in a gift bag.

And then it looks like the boys decided to hang out in a trash can.

A little behind

2010-04-13T23:05:00.000-07:00

Get it. You will. I've been slacking on the updating of the old blog. Sorry guys. I promise I'll get control of myself and jump back on my New Year's resolution of keeping this thang up-to-date. In the meantime, you might find this post to be a little gross.

As you all are aware, I chopped my long, stringy hair off a while back. I'm planning on donating my hair to Locks of Love. That's right, it's been two months since the choppage, and I have yet to mail my hair away. Instead I do things like this with what's left of my dearly departed locks:

Yeah Duke :)

2010-04-06T08:08:00.000-07:00

This makes me so happy. I knew 2010 would be a good year.

My mom

2010-04-03T19:02:00.000-07:00

Look how cute my mom is. And when I say cute, I mean CAAAAAAUUUUUUTE. Oh, and her birthday is tomorrow. Happy birthday Madre! I hope you don't get mad at me for posting this on the internets.

The Carolina Cup

2010-03-27T10:31:00.000-07:00

The Carolina Cup is this weekend, and in my opinion it has become a ridiculous event for the college students of South Carolina. Basically, the Carolina Cup is a horse race that has turned into an excuse for young men and young women across the state to don hideous Lily Pulitzer dresses that look as though the Easter bunny may have thrown up, floppy hats, bow-ties, and tacky pants that should be saved for the likes of golfer John Daly. Oh and the Cup also provides a good reason to tailgate and get shwasted.

But, here is a little exert I found on the Carolina Cup page that details what the event is all about:
"The Carolina Cup race-meeting is a time honored South Carolina tradition that has achieved premier social event status. The annual 'rites of spring' draws over 65,000 fans from throughout the southeast, to enjoy the thrilling sport of steeplechase horse racing amid a flurry of spring fashions and elaborate tailgate parties. From our Hospitality Terrace to College Park, old friends meet and new friends are made during the afternoon of six races."

Feast your eyes on a sampling of the "flurry of spring fashions" that are sure to be seen at this year's Cup festivities.

This one tops them all.

Daily Puppy

2010-03-27T09:01:00.000-07:00

Warning: Some of you who read this blog will think this post is dumb. (Ryan)

I love the Daily Puppy. I mean love, love, love it. If you have never checked out this website, and love dogs/puppies, you are seriously missing out. I have the Daily Puppy widget on my igoogle so as not to miss a single adorable little pooch.

My reasoning in writing this post is multifold. One, today's puppy was too cute not to publicize. See below for proof.

Second, I wanted to mention my dog Ally because she also is quite wonderful. She lives in South Carolina with my parents because even though I call her my dog, she is pretty much my mom's only daughter left at home.

Third, as you will see in the following picture, a lovely, blonde girl is cuddling with Ally. That blonde girl is one of my BFFFFFFFFFFFFs whom I have known literally my entire life. And she is getting married in June (more to come on that matter). And one of her bridal showers is today, which I was not able to attend for it too is in South Carolina. Anna Banana, Columbiana Mall, Granny, Ol' Blue Lug, I hope you have a great shower today. Sorry you are in the same post as puppies, but you being a dog fanatic will most likely appreciate that aspect.

March 24th

2010-03-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

This is what it looked like outside this morning. Two days before this, it was sunny, in the 60's, and I was on the back porch reading Harry Potter. Caaaarazy.

Lovely letterpress

2010-03-19T22:45:00.000-07:00

I recently received some letterpress samples via the old faithful snail mail from Ajalon Printing and Design. They are a letterpress shop based out of Northern California and have some pretty affordable letterpress specials for brides. Check out some of their letterpress invites here. And here are some of the goodies I received:

Thanks for the samples! They are lovely.

March Madness

2010-03-19T22:26:00.000-07:00

It's the most wonderful time of the year. As usual, my father and I have filled out our brackets and placed our normal wagers. The loser will buy the winner lunch. I'm guessing in Memphis in May since that's the next time I will see my parentals. We'll be walking in Memphis. Yahyay! Duke, only in the Final Four, come on Dad!

Something I made once.

My bracket. Don't judge.

Dad's bracket. We picked the same final four.

South Carolina

2010-03-19T16:48:00.000-07:00

I saw a post about South Carolina tourism ads on the Denver Egotist, and it made me so proud of my home state. Even had me rooting for Clemson University, which is huge for me usually being on team anybody but Clemson. But alas, Missouri had the best of the Tigers in the tourney action. Anyway, here are some of the excellent out of home advertisements from Greenville's The Bounce Agency. Great stuff.

Trial by design

2010-03-10T22:27:00.000-08:00

So, I've been applying and interviewing for jobs all over the place lately. Although, I would really love to stay in Colorado or move to Hawaii, you know whatever. One recent request for rejection (as my pops likes to call it) was over to Abercrombie & Fitch...mmmm Abercrombie boys. I had a phone interview with a super nice guy in Human Resources and was then asked to do a round of trial designs. Six designs to be exact. I've made it to this round with other companies as well, and I have to admit, it is kind of a peculiar part of the interviewing process to me. Like my buddy Alex G said, companies see what you can do via your portfolio. Actually, I take that back, I kind of understand why they want you to do trial designs. So they can see if you can actually mesh well with their brand. I have found these trial designs to only be for in-house positions when you are working on strictly one brand with a very distinct style. But, I'm young so what do I know, maybe this happens more often than I'm aware of.

But, what really grinds my gears, is when you spend hours upon hours doing work for free for these trials and never ever hear anything back, even after following up. Not even an automated "sorry, we're just not that into you" response. This happened to me with a place in Philly that will remain undisclosed. On the flip side, the super nice guy I talked to at Abercrombie (I don't want to say his name out of respect to him), not only rejected me via email, but he made it a point to call me! I respect him so much for that and think that all companies should use this as their model. If someone spends hours working on something for you, you kind of owe them at least an email telling them you have "found someone that has better matches your needs."

Anyway, I thought that I would at least post the mock ups of the designs I made for my A&F trial. I guess my designs aren't very good. I would wear them though. Especially the moose shirt. Oh and another positive tidbit that I gained from this experience is that I learned a few new photoshop tricks, like how to make something appear embroidered or give an image that vintage-y basketball jersey look. Thank you A&F (namely super nice guy at A&F) for not being jerks.

Really cool not-advertising advertising

2010-03-10T20:19:00.000-08:00

Very clever idea for Stihl leaf blowers. Made by Euro RSCG, Dusseldorf.

Oh yay

2010-03-10T19:33:00.000-08:00

I finally posted my new work to my Coroflot page. People seem to like it, and I got an email saying that the CP+B intern shirt I designed was featured. It's not that big a deal, but it makes me happy that people are starting to like my work. Yay!

Illustrations

2010-03-10T13:12:00.000-08:00

Here are some quick snapshots of illustrations I've got cooking. Many, many more to come. I left the rough ones in there so you could see the transformations.

Birthday Cupcakes

2010-03-10T11:21:00.000-08:00

I made cupcakes on my bday, well the day after (yes, I realize that was over a month ago mea culpa) because I thought it was a good reason to make something delightfully unhealthy. No substituting butter for yogurt with this recipe, as is the norm for my roommates and me. Well, to be honest, this recipe didn't actually call for butter but vegetable oil anyway.

Note the fun sprinkles...dinosaur, stars and moons, dolphins and other great shapes. Now, I just need to find manatee shaped sprinkles, and I'd be set.

Gag me please

2010-03-09T23:01:00.000-08:00

So, it all started Valentine's Day. Well, at least that's when I think it started, my increasing dislike of coupley-ness, better known as public displays of affection, or by southerners, petting. I know what you're probably thinking, if I am so annoyed with couples, then why do I post about my friends getting married. Well, because marriage is just a fact of life, and it's something that I have finally come to terms with that at some point in life, people just feel the need to get married. For me, that is a long way from now. A LONG way from now. But some of my friends seem to be more mature than me in the relationship area and seem to like each other a lot. To each his own. Also, I don't live near these kids, so I don't see their PDA taking place.

I wasn't going to rant about couples, I really wasn't. But after spending more time than necessary on Facebook tonight, my eyes begin to twitch from the bombardment of terribly gross little messages that junk up my newsfeed as I read things like this..."Just thought you should know I love you," or the ever annoying, "Oh I can't wait for our date night. I love you. blah blah blah." I feel like these kind of wall messages for all your facebook friends to read happen quite frequently. Why does anyone need to display those kinds of messages for the rest of the world to see??? It's enough to make me terminate my Facebook account. Needless to say, it's a little much and if you really love someone and cannot wait for your date night, why not just call your significant other and tell him/her that? Or text even? I'm sure they would just love that.

Well, I apologize if I have offended anyone who is part of a couple and enjoys a little PDA action. I'm also sorry if you have to witness me vomit next time you and your loved one decide to give each other a little peck in my line of vision. I don't dislike the fact that you're in like or in love or whatever. I think that's great. Just please try to keep the mushiness private. Also, next time I am in a relationship, and I participate in PDA, please, please, please remind me of how disgusting it is for those around me and just punch me in the face or something.

I know I have blogged about the Jordan Jordan wedding too many times to count at this point, but I just received my invite yesterday and thought it was so cute that I had to share. Oh and just as a forewarning, their wedding will most likely make it onto the blog at least one more time with, you know, stuff from the actual wedding.

Look another freaking Cupacake store. See, this is why I could never be a copywriter. My names and stuff are just too damn unoriginal. Heck, I'll probably just go ahead and pull a Loralei Gilmore (that's right, the Gilmore Girls) and name my first born Sarah...girl or boy.

But look at how cute this image is:

Could be a dark humor campaign for Dansko.

I didn't go to school for graphic design (I studied advertising design). And, I'm not working at a coffee shop...yet.

I want one. But check out these illustrations I just saw on the blog Design You Trust. I almost peed my pants.
