So the Borders downtown went out of business this Fall and now resembles a bomb shelter. The nearest Barnes & Noble is one of those campus affiliated ones, so the selection is super limited. These are probably my two best excuses as to why I’ve just now acquired this issue of Print, which has been in circulation for over a month now!

Anyway, I was overjoyed to learn that my work would be featured in the Midwest chapter of the Regional Design Annual for 2011. Its a publication that I’m always eager to get my hands on every year, and to be featured on the same pages as some of my long-time design crushes is always an honor.

And Sometimes Y is a little project I produced in 2010 that I had a really good feeling about. The letterforms were fascinating to me, and I hoped that my peers would appreciate them the same way I did when I was first sketching them. They’ve been working really hard for me over the last year, and in light of that, I’m hoping to explore new studies of a similar fashion, or perhaps an entire alphabet inspired by these vowels.

We’ll see. For now, back to the drawing board!
