Goodie Monster Plans Afoot

Last year my friend Mark and I made the first ever Goodie Monster. Since then, we have been planning, scheming, dreaming, plotting, and strategizing our next move. The last few months have been full of big ideas for what the future might hold for the Goodie Monster.

The long and the short of it is, we want to make more Goodie Monsters that will serve happy and healthy snack food to passerbys, and we have been working on making that come to fruition. Here is a sneak peek of some of our thoughts that culminated in our soon-to-be-launched Kickstarter Campaign. Stay tuned!

Sculpture in Place

A small portfolio website I designed in collaboration with Studio Jelly recently launched for James Malbon Harrison, a sculpture artist and civic infrastructure expert. His work is simple and draws inspiration from pattern and relies on material use that hides the underlying structure.

Muppet the Hairdresser's Dog

Spanks Hairdressing in Portland, Oregon has a mascot named Muppet, a wiry haired little dog that will sit and stare at you for hours on end while you wait to get your haircut. So I stared back at him and drew this picture. He is the dog with the most organized hair I’ve ever seen, so I’m not sure why he is called Muppet.
