Even though this has now been out for two months, here are some photos (finally!) of the finished product. It’s available at Arise! (and soon some other local spots) for purchase. Only $6!

Though I didn’t do the drawings (that was Dylan, Michelle & Jasmine), I did all the layout and design in Indesign, dropping in all the locations we exported from the google map in the Drupal site. I traced all the bike routes, which nearly gave me carpal tunnel.

Check out the website: atlas.arisebookstore.org to make additions for next year!

So pleased to be able to make this poster. I’m so psyched for this show, even a month in advance…

** Forgot to note, this show was July 21, the date was corrected before it went to print! **

Please listen to Always Wanting More. You will be.

I owe a couple people several beers for their help with the lightbox. You know who you are! Roger’s design is, of course, beautiful.

A few sites I’ve done for the Learning Technology Center at the Science Museum as of late. They are both Drupal, and very similar concepts. The other exciting thing is that these sites (and a few others) are all part of a Drupal multisite just for the LTC. So these are all pointing to the same Drupal installation! Very happy with that.

I’ve been working on a cool project to document anything free, underground, hidden, radical or otherwise interesting in the Twin Cities. I got to practice some Drupal along the way - check out this map I made, and add places to it!

Roger & I launched a new site earlier this week. It was a long time coming, but I think it turned out nicely, mostly due to Roger’s clean design!

New site launched, for my friend Gabriel and his new book, Calling All Radicals, out on Nation Books.

Also found some inspiration by this article in Print about Local Projects. There are so many interesting things happening in the world of museums and interactive storytelling… I hope to be a part of that!

Current jams: destroy all monsters, hex dispensers, underground railroad to candyland

I’ve been pretty busy with making sites lately — more of these posts to come in the next few weeks.

Roger did the design and I made the site and set up the shopping cart — my first shopping cart. I used OSCommerce, a free open-source cart, which was simple enough, but I spent a lot of time taking out ugly clip art that was hard coded into the PHP, which was a little odd. I also found the plug-ins to be precarious — they aren’t self-contained packages, so you have to edit code in your pages and run the risk of making other add-ons stop working. That made me a little uncomfortable! But, so far so good!

As promised, the poster we designed for the Naked Raygun show. Word is it’s selling out fast, so I’d get tickets while you can!

I think it turned out pretty well, except after staring at it for a while I started thinking about the classic movie Inner Space. Not good.

Better late than never — this is the poster we designed for The Ex show in Minneapolis in December. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen — the fourth time I’ve seen The Ex, and certainly the best. Very happy to get to do this poster!

I think this is the first time I’ve put together a three-color job… and considering that we got most of the image from a Japanese kimono pattern, I’m pretty proud!

The next in the series will be Naked Raygun for Extreme Noise’s anniversary. Another show for a legendary band…
