A peep of the snowboard design I submitted to Ride for their annual contest.

LOVE DRUGS

Ok, I love paper-cut design. Paper cutting is my drug. Also tea is my drug, and scorpions are my biggest fear probably.

Thank you to the great Aaron Draplin for posting this on his truly great blog.

SO SHANTY

Lots of work to do this week. Especially with this bad boy; the Frozen Light book featuring a tiny selection of Snap Shot Shanty lore.

The rest, pictured here, are collateral pieces designed for a fuax gallery exhibit. Invite (assembled to resemble the real shanty), ticket (after ice-house-fishing license), and poster (bubblewrapped). They also need some love.

New additions to this book will include shanty sentiments from us artists.
Tomorrow here in Minnesota will be our first extreme temps of the season.
Here is a tidbit from Sam Hoolihan about an icey day this last winter:

I remember on one of the coldest days of the projects, most people (shanty artists) didn't even show up. but the snap shot shanty did, and our shanty without a heater was as comfortable as usual.
most people didn't believe we weren't using a heater when they walked in.

How's that for passive solar?!

This snow is making things dangerously nostalgic during finals week here.
I want to know, who designed this myspace smiley-face above.

I decided to do it proper, with a snowy-face.
(I'm not even that in to emotional icons.)
