MW and Louie pressured me into actually talking to Miles Kurosky when we saw him, and it was really great. He was a really cool guy — as cool a person as you might hope seeing stuff like this.

I was a huge fan of Beulah, and it feels like I’ve been waiting for this album for years. And I just ran across it this morning!

Lots of wild and crazy in this one.

Recent discovery — I think I’m going to see them Wednesday April 7 at Schuba’s!

The first two months of issues are now available, this is a little project I started to give people I know the opportunity to do a regular, fun, low intensity project month-to-month that could be unstressful. Unlike a lot of the other fun and creative stuff in which people get involved, it seems.

Assignments are made by someone each month and distributed to a list of contributors. The people that have time do the assignment, I compile it, and release it by the 25th of each month.

I designed this logo for an improv team I coach for the Chemically Imbalanced Comedy. Fine folks, and I think I captured the inherent charming dysfunction of the group. Or, got in the neighborhood.

The ‘09 invitational was the third and used the 3D theme. Mostly the 3D glasses from this got used in various materials, but this was my favorite presentation because it felt a bit like a 60s/70s movie poster to me.
