Sad to hear Jules Feiffer passed—I love an artist w/ range & the willingness to stretch & try new things. Feiffer wrote novels, plays, film, childrens books & was a a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist. Spend time w/ his work today, you'll be better for it. www.tcj.com/writer-carto...

Creativity is like a toddler with a crayon—messy, unpredictable, and somehow genius.

They call us "designer" because “eye-rolling artist working with corporate clients” was too long

Was in a client meeting this morning and told our client to embrace the mistakes. So they stood up and hugged me.

Every time a client asks me to "jazz it up a bit" I just photoshop Louis Armstrongs face all over the design and hit send.

Graphic Design is a great profession for work-life-balance. As long as you don’t really have a life.
