Some of our friends have a big Christmas cocktail party every year, and this year it was Mad Men themed (swanky late 50's, early 60's for anyone who doesn't watch the show).

My wife and I got all gussied up for it, and I thought some of you may appreciate a photo (that I've vintage-ized).

Who's on it? Besides me, that is?

We should be e-friends.



Also, teach me the ways to be cool there. Right now I'm a total freshman and can't even find home room.

An idea I had awhile back that I thought I'd work up for the Travel comp. There are so many great, expressive designs already, I thought I'd try something a bit more simple. Any suggestions? Worth subbing?

Looking to breathe new life into an old design. Which version do you prefer?

Now up for scoring! Wow, that was fast!







OK, here's the pencil sketch for a new idea I had. What think ye?



I was thinking of calling it "Playtime with Mummy and Dad", but would be open to a better title if anyone has a suggestion.

So I'm listing some pin badges up on Etsy, and don't know what I should charge for them or for the shipping.

I was thinking like $2.50 + $1.00 s/h should cover it, though international shipping would need to be higher, I guess?

Does that sound reasonable?

Any thoughts?

Also, sneak preview:

Design a character for the Simpsons 20th Anniversary special! In addition to drawing him/her you also get to give them a name, job, description, catchphrase and lots of other fun stuff. Deadline is Sunday though, so hurry up!

I don't have time to participate in this one, but if you do, be sure to post your character here, so I can see it and live vicariously through your awesomeness.

So for a client project, I need to be able to generate audio waveforms at a print resolution for part of some packaging. Does anyone know a good way to do that? I'm guessing there's probably some way in illustrator, but my attempts so far have not been overly successfuly.

Or does anyone happen to have a source for some large images of soundwaves that are cheap/free?

Let it be known that our dog Norman will kick your ass at Tic Tac Toe.



That is all.

Congrats on the print! I love that smug look on the face of cube.
