Events + Stationery + Logos

I think on paper, so I sketch a lot. The complexity of the project dictates how complex the sketch. Sometimes my sketches can be an integral part of the process. But if time doesn't permit, I will just make a quick thumbnail and move straight to the computer.

One Inch One Night Stand Art Show

An in person art show, promoting local artists, inspired by similar shows done in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. After a call for entries was sent out–local artists submitted original one inch artwork. Fifty designs were selected by jurors. The designs were made into one-inch buttons and displayed for one night at the Minneapolis Photo Center.

At the event, attendees could buy five winning buttons for $1 each and were encouraged to trade with other attendees.
