Spring 2003

--> BEACHBUOY TYPEFACE READY TO GO.

I recently completed Beachbuoy, a type family in 3 weights. It was inspired by a trip to Kauai in 2002 and has traveled a long, winding route from inspiration to end result. See samples and download a specimen PDF at:

As with my other fonts, it's available at Myfonts.com:

--> HOW OTHER CREATIVES USE THE INTERNET

Last fall, I wrote an article for the Graphic Artists Guild News about how designers and illustrators are using the Internet to promote business and improve customer relations. It's a snapshot, not a comprehensive overview. You may find the ideas useful. I really enjoyed putting it together, and learned a lot in the process. All my thanks go to the interviewees, and to Susan E. Davis for editing.

--> (Everything but the) KITCHEN SINK ART

Can an illustration with a baby in a crib, a chemistry beaker, a place setting, and a jet airplane find happiness on the cover of Buffalo State University's Magazine? Yes, I think. See what you think:
