Crushing hard on this release and IO!
Is it weird to have a crush on typefaces? Actually, don’t answer that.

Free idea for @nytimes.com Games: Crossplay with a time limit. Maybe 30 seconds per turn, new tiles are obscured until your next turn.

The same image, with the Chinese word 牧灵奇旅

the same image, with the English word Herdling. The text is styled such that on the ends, there are protruding horn shapes; through the middle of it run lines that converge at the middle-top, implying a mountain shape

A very fun project I got to work on: after designing the logotype for the game Herdling, I was asked to make localized versions in Arabic and Chinese. I got to keep the horn shapes, and the implied mountain in the Arabic.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

White tee shirt with "NICE" linocut print of lettering styled after ice freezers at gas stations and convenience stores.

White tee shirt with "NICE" linocut print of lettering styled after ice freezers at gas stations and convenience stores.

I'm dipping my toes into selling tee shirts over on @cottonbureau.com ...have a look!

This design is based on a 2-colour linocut print I made. If it’s not obvious, the subject matter borrows heavily from the lettering on gas station ice freezers. It’s nice.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
