Sully soon realized that he had not packed his favorite pajamas for the camping trip. And it was a long walk back to the house…

Friends don’t let friends send out pastel birth announcements. So, I made up a custom checklist of favorite names and common stats so that they could just check off the boxes once the little one was born. Now isn’t that better than associating a new family member with picnic tablecloths?

I’m talking to you… ridiculous looking shiny bucket bags with hundreds of zippers, emblems, logos and dangly things that jingle jangle with every step. You don’t exactly impress me anymore.
After 4 years of of carrying bags with tons of pockets for organizing all the unnecessary stuff I was toting around, I decided to become a minimalist. I’ve ditched everything for an iPhone and a luxurious wool felt pouch made by Hard Graft. This pouch is a simple, sophisticated way to carry my most important items now that sippy cups and diapers are a thing of the past. The iPhone Pouch ‘Hold’ is perfect for cradling the iPhone in a soft shell for when the ‘kid’ accidentally drops it on the ground after watching his favorite cartoon. And it’s an awesome way to carry the phone and a credit card to the casino. What can I say, I love my new pouch! Now, if only they would make a cover for my Moleskine daily planner.
So, to all those who hate lugging around their entire life in a handbag that makes more noise than the kid you’re with, check out hard-graft.com.


I’m not sure I want to be part of your clique anymore. I think I’m going to go it alone.

As writers churned out fictional story after story for the western pulp magazines in the 1930s, artists were creating covers that promised ever greater excitement. This buckaroo bracelet features vintage cowboys of the Old West. Hand-casted resin cubes were embedded with my favorite frontier tough guys inside.

Peanut Butter never looked so good. Jelly’s not bad either. Fast, cheap and easy. AND green. Roll with Gus.
Our awesome creative team has launched yet another hilarious video. Once you go with JORTS and golf shoes, you will never go back. Be warned, this song will play in your head for the rest of the day.

I’ve often thought of moving back to Tybee Island in Savannah. However, when hurricane season is in full swing, I always have second thoughts.

For years, General Grover has worked alone to put humanity in its place—but now he’s seeking support from minions the world over at kittyattackblog.com—with hilarious results.
On his new site, this devious feline will blog about his exploits, illustrating battle plans and posting video footage of gut-splittingly funny kitty attacks. He’ll also seek suggestions from potential supporters of every species, and whenever possible, implement their ideas in future attacks. I’m excited because it’s all part of a social media experiment created by my interactive department and illustrated by yours truly. As Grover’s arch enemy, General Sully Bonesaparte will be making appearances from time to time to egg him on.
We don’t dare call it the next LOL cats (although we won’t be surprised if you do), but kittyattackblog.com is so funny, it just might make you pee your litter box! Visit kittyattackblog.com today and watch as General Grover’s revolution takes on a life of its own!

Fellow designers, I ask you, why do I always see font clutter and lack of kerning in graphic design? Over the years, I have noticed artists and designers moving away from using materials and methods to do their design work. Too often, the project brainstorm time, design time, and iterative process time is replaced with an immediate jump into production. Creativity never really happens — just production. The design process is watered down to simply a decorative art. The computer has discounted the craft of the human hand. If “everyone can do it”, then our typography should be perfect.
