Day 63
Woooooooooo my friend is getting married in 2 weeks!
Day 62
wow haha. first post since April. Apparently I’ve been on some serious hibernation. Anyways, this is my second year volunteering as a mural artist for New York Cares Day. Ohhh boy I had soooooo much fun this year. Second time’s a charm!
-Caitlin and Matt concentrating on the painting!
-Riva and her big outdoor wall
-3rd floor Gym wall and ground floor hallway (my fav)
-Snowmen and Angry birds!!
Apart from supervising and designing murals/canvas paintings for volunteers to paint, I got to run up and down 3 flights of stairs 20+ times. Probably lost 3 lbs in the process. YAY! Can’t wait for next year! (Go Team Strong!)
Day 36
Typeface based on yesterday’s post. I’m calling it The Floating Penguin
*What made me happy today: it’s not going to rain tomorrow!
Day 26
The day I’ve been waiting for has finally come. The Brooklyn Book Festival ’09!!!!!!!! YAY I love books. There were 166 publishers in total. I wish we had this every month. (Sorry for some grainy photographs)
So these are books, flyers, bookmarks, leave-behinds and whatnot I got from the festival. Some are nicely designed (love) and some are blehhhhh. There are more on my table. Apparently I’m a clepto.
This I like. A typographic flyer of all the title they were selling today from Mark Batty Publisher. It’s a silkscreen! nice yes?
Because I like their flyer I bought 2 books from them. They are graphic illustrations by Noma Bar. I don’t know why I didn’t know anything about him until now. Where was I??!?? His works are out of this world. He reminds me of Charles Goslin.

Isn’t this the most realistic picture of Bush?
This is so cute. A free T-shirt I got from C-SPAN booth. It came in a shape of a bus.
Lastly, food street map. Say food and information design and I’m there. It achieved some level of success because I had no problem finding my food.
What made me happy today: of course, the book festival
Day 16
…and he cried out, “help help….. help”. But no one heard
What made me happy today: new leaf shaped snack plates
Day 13
Something I can relate to.
From writer Erik Proulx and director Marc Colucci: Lemonade Movie.
“More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this “Great Recession.” Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.”
What made me happy today: Grilled chicken sandwich and fries with a lot of pepper
Day 6
Old, worn, torn, and missing a part. Just like us. Human
(a $20 bill I got from the ATM yesterday)
The Death Clock will remind you just how short life is.
(My dying sunflower from “DAY 4″)
*What will make me happy today: getting my iMac back
Day 5
Nothing exciting has happened in the longest time.
Everything is just plain boring.
This is what I’m feeling right now. Cranky. I NEED SOME COLOR.
* What made me happy today: Good Humor ice cream sandwich bars
