Music is exciting once again in 2008. I didn't get to attend as many live shows as I'd like, but did discover many new artists and sounds. I'm especially excited to be part of a band myself this year called Siberiana and to be a small part of the exciting things that are happening in […]

My friend, Jessica Watson from Happy Hour Studio posed the following question after viewing my last post: If your company had to design a poster to promote voting, how would you go about it? I happen to love poster design, mostly because of my love of color and bold graphics. Posters tend to be more […]
