When I was an undergrad, I enjoyed a Sundays-only subscription to The New York Times. Every Sunday we’d get a massive brick of content that essentially recapped the world’s happenings from the previous week. What if we tried that here, summing up the interesting stuff I’ve been enjoying lately? Let’s begin the experiment! The New […]
From Metropolis’ “The Year in Review“: Entrepreneurship is endemic to designers. They make things, and there are many things, from books to apps, from the quirkiest to the most mainstream, being created by designers who now see ways of marketing them directly to an audience through the Web. Unit Editions in London is on the […]
(Note: since publishing the original version of this essay, I received two extremely nasty, insulting comments from people I don’t know.

Next week is the Austin Game Developers Conference, wherein my fellow GAMBITeer Matt Weise and I will be presenting our video game adaptation workshop.

It’s taken me a long time, but I think I’m finally getting better at drawing women. While I was moving my files around and moving into the cloud this weekend I realized that I hadn’t been scanning or posting anywhere near the amount of sketches and drawings I tend to do in my spare time, […]
