- Process is Art, Part II
So to continue in my random thinking of the previous post, I pose this question to myself.
If process is art then what exactly is hanging in Art Museums?
For we cannot physically frame the blue feelings Picasso felt, or the rare moments of sanity Van Gogh may have experienced while painting in the fields, or the [...] - Process is Art
Something I’ve been pondering…
The discipline of Graphic Design ceases to be Art when the creation process, the craft, ceases to create Joy in the designer.
Clearly, that could be worded better, but I hope you get the gist. - Are we in San Antonio or Seattle?
I’ve been away from home this weekend. My wife and I have an agreement that when I travel, I won’t blog about it before I go. Something about the entire planet knowing that I’m away from home… Anyhow, through the mighty power of WordPress, I’m setting this post to publish automatically at approximately the same [...]

In a direct contrast to yesterday’s post about how major media outlets are damaging their reputation by “sponsoring” keywords on Google and negatively associating themselves with the Virginia Tech shootings, a new story appeared this morning on Advertising Age that shows how it should be done.
Sports apparel giant, Nike, has decided to associate itself with [...] - Tragedy = $$$

As a visual person I have always been attracted to many variations of weather maps you see on TV and the internet. I posted [...]

Bumper stickers.
You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em.
I suppose that some people are ‘bumper sticker people,’ and some people aren’t, I don’t intend to make any judgments either way. I’m more curious as to what drives (no pun intended) people to choose a bumper sticker as a vehicle (pun intended) of self-expression.
There are all [...] - Baseball and Soccer News
This past week, my friend Dave over at NYBaseballTalk.com had the opportunity to sit down and interview the Yankee legend Mel Stottlemyre. For those who may not know, Stottlemyre is best known for his days as a Yankees pitcher and more recently the New York Yankess Pitching Coach, retiring in 2005 after the Yankees loss [...]

Wow, has it really been three years since I started blogging?

My first car was a 1986 Honda Civic Hatchback. Powder blue. Manual transmission. It was awesome. It looked just like this. It was mostly indestructable… until it wasn’t anymore. Ever since I have loved Hondas.
I currently own two Hondas. A 2001 Civic sedan and a 2005 CR-V. I’m a Hondavangelist! I tell everyone what [...]
