It’s astonishing that in Portland, where people will feed bad for misgendering your dog, that there are some people who are utterly convinced that there are 2 dogs named BB who look alike in the neighborhood, no matter how often we explain that she just more than one dad.
BB, a brown brindle Mountain Cur who allegedly has an identical twin.

Okay, so “Nation’s Dumbest” may not be the most sophisticated show on TV, but my Ringold Clarendon is used for just about all it’s on-set and on-screen graphics and I find that DELIGHTFUL. bijoutype.com/typefaces/ri...

Some wacky ones in here, but as far as “my vibe”? “Anti-sexist”, “bummed”, “punk rock” (1970 seems so early!), “spork”, “T cell”. I was going to pick “open dating”, but it didn’t mean what I thought.

Tributes to David Hockney. Bushwick and East Williamsburg, 1990s. Hockney’s photo collages totally opened up my understanding of how to represent time and space on a flat surface.

Three different dogs have all entered the local coffee shop I visit on the way to the office here in Berlin, and they’re making me desperately pine for my fuzzy chaos demon back at home

Starting some research at the Schwules Museum (www.schwulesmuseum.de) while I’m in Berlin, and it’s fitting to see them storing old magazines in boxes from Esselte, the stationery company that had acquired Letraset.

I know that I’m biased but I honestly think Ringold Clarendon would have been a stronger choice here. bijoutype.com/typefaces/ri...

I don’t know if this movie’s version of the afterlife makes much sense, but at least it features some sweet Bijou typefaces, which is heavenly to me.

There’s a promo trailer for “Eternity”, a new A24 film, that spotlights some material using Ringold Clarendon! I’ve had a lot of bromances, too.(I love when Ringold gets used in thematically appropriate ways. 🌈)

I’m EXTREMELY delighted to have scored a last minute spot for Pink Mince at the Brussels Ass Book Fair this November! No turkey me this year, but I’d much rather give thanks for sharing Pink Mince with a whole new crowd, anyway. brusselsassbookfair.be pinkmince.com

Every few years comes the need for The Purge — finding new homes for all the excess, close-to-obsolete cables and accessories that accumulate.

Thank you to whoever on Mike Judge’s team picked Ringold! I hope they were being a little subversive n using my very queer-influenced typeface this way.

Sigh. So idyllic. I miss it so much — however, selling post-Covid DID finance the move to Portland.

As a person in the target demographic, I can confirm that this DOES hit close to home — but LITERALLY. The first aerial shot is over my old neighborhood, looking toward the bridge we’d use to head up to our cabin.
The Netflix comedy The Four Seasons stars (mostly) actors who are in their 50s, playing characters who are in their 50s, in a show whose target demographic is (I assume) people in their 50s. Perhaps that explains why this series’s greatest strength is its deep understanding of how it feels to be a person
