Pins and Needles
It’s the in betweens that are a stickler. Somebody told me they wanted to eat this page – I think it was a compliment. I thought, that’s going to hurt going down. Just another page from my sketchbook, part of my participation in the Sketchbook Project.

Mister Museum, The Debut and Making Of
At the end of last year I was lucky enough to help create branding for an idea called Mister Museum. Sometimes when a new client crosses your path, you just KNOW it was meant to be. Here is a stylized version of the Bureau’s first meeting with the man behind Mister Museum.
MM:
- I’d like to promote the content that museums and educational institutions curate, but in a more interesting manner so that it engages the general public. Basically, this would be a venture for increasing art and science literacy, with a point of view.
BB:
- LEARNING IS THE COOLEST!
MM:
- My target audience is people that are curious about things in general with access to up-to-date technology.
BB:
- THAT’S ME! SCREW INTERNET EXPLORER 6!
MM:

Sitka Alaska, Where Sandwiches Are Big
One of my favorite second hand stores in Portland is Vintage Pink. Things I’ve bought there are: a globe, a chair, a polaroid camera, a set of children’s adventure books, and this mug. I really like the prominence that the sandwich has on this mug. It’s bigger than the boat! That’s my kind of sandwich!

A Good Book
Months and months ago I signed up for a project put on by Art House Co-op called the Sketch Book Project. The gist is that artists receive a blank moleskin, fill it with whatever they want, send it back. Then the collection of books go on a tour similar to a concert, but much more quietly. Well, I’m just now starting to fill my sketchbook, and here is one of the first pages.

The Soda Pop Man
Some people’s joy is effervescent, and John Nese is one of those people. He owns a soda shop that carries over 500 varieties, including cucumber. Boy would I like to try that. This man is soda incarnate, spreading the gospel of REAL soda (not Pepsi or Coke and the like)! Amen.
