06.04.08 // Site updated.

All new projects! New categories! The
excitement never ends!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05.16.08 // Today is the first day.

I created a website to catalog all of the work I made
at CalArts in the past 3 years. I devised different
themes that you can categorize the work by, and
corresponding patterns that can overlay each other.
My dear friend Gregory Coats made all of the
high-level javascripting possible!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04.17.08 // Hello! Cambodia.

I presented my thesis - eight months of blood, sweat,
and tears! I created a book that poses the possibility of expressive information, through the merging of personal narrative with statistics, and ornament with phonetics. Click for more details!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03.28.08 // Grunge is back.

My oh-so-hilarious graphic plaid design for our annual t-shirt show.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03.13.08 // Janice Kerbel.

Our tongue-in-cheek escape plan for this very clever artist's lecture.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02.18.08 // Good Magazine.

Check it out! I did a super-fun information graphic
that's published in "Transparency" section of Good
Magazine's Mar/Apr 2008 issue, on newstands now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02.05.08 // Love/Heartbreak.

It's almost here!!!!! You better come, it's going to
be a killer show - we have an edible poster, half-
inch button starburst, pillow letterforms, silkscreen
coffin, and a one-of-a-kind digital photobooth!
Visit Thursday, February 7th, at 7pm for the
opening reception.

01.27.08 // Philippe Apeloig.

I had the pleasure of being a teaching assistant for
this renown French designer's workshop. I also
designed this glittery, dancing poster with Silas
Munro to announce Philippe's lecture.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01.24.08 // Year of the rat.

Roseanne Wong and I, as the most Senior Chinese
Persons in the program, designed this poster that
celebrates the power animal of 2008.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01.08.08 // Boomerang.

Laurie O'Brien, an amazing puppeteer and artist,
asked me to design the postcard for an exhibition
she co-curated that collects the works of artists that
have played off each other.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.19.07 // Love/Heartbreak.

We're organizing the department's mid-year show -
different interpretations on the theme of passion.
Nikki and I just finished designing and programming
the website, and we're getting loads of submissions.
Hope you can make it, February 7th!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.05.07 // The Castle.

I designed this "time-based" poster for Laurie O'Brien.
She adapted Franz Kafka's classic tale for the stage,
and wanted a mysterious, ghostly tone for the poster.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.11.07 // Frances Stark.

We love lines! Loads of fun making this super-
typographic poster.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.25.07 // Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn.

I silkscreened and designed this Visiting Artist Lecture poster for this pair of gender-bending performance artists.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.22.07 // We love you, Harmen!

Harmen Liemburg, master designer and silkscreener,
visited our poor, inferno-infested hamlet all the way
from Amsterdam. I felt so lucky to be able to design
a Visiting Designer poster for him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.17.07 // Sustainable design.

I'm in Target! An awesome company, called
Greenroom Eco, makes recycled and sustainable
paper products. I redesigned their identity and
then created several lines of journal designs for
mass-market sale.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09.27.07 // Chronometry.

Writer Joe Potts and I are collecting writing and
ephemera for a limited-edition book project
sponsored by the CalArts Alumni Fund. The
book will be designed by me, so submit your
entries here now!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09.13.07 // Subversive order.

We just finished a really fun workshop with Swiss
designer Laurenz Brunner. My group studied hair
salons and we made abstract compositions of fallen
hair clippings on the ground. Then Silas Munro and
I made a visiting artist poster for him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
08.22.07 // Same same but different.

I've just returned from travelling through
Tokyo, Bangkok, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos over
the past nine weeks! What an amazing journey -
thank you to all of the wonderful and kind people
I was so lucky to meet!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05.23.07 // We'll miss you.

Goodbye Gundi, Christine, Cassandra, Tasheka, Flo,
Jessica, Cameron, Victor, Sophine, Tanya, Kristen,
Roman, Gilbert, Mac, Allbriton, Adrian, Andy, Beau,
and Chris!!!!!!

05.10.07 // I was really hungry.
