My friends never stop amazing me. You should see Katie Evans’ new Tumblr blog, Today I Bought—it’s ridiculously adorable! The daily content reminds me to watch what I’m spending… but not to forget to have plenty of fun at the same time. Katie currently works at Kate Spade where she designs fashionable handbags and window displays, and presumably enjoys herself some Starbucks, knows where all the free ice cream can be found, and rides more than a few taxi cabs.

Check out more of Katie’s work, while you’re at it!

I’ve been invited to exhibit original work in this year’s My Type of Town: The Annual Chicago Exhibition of Typographic Excellence. I’m honored and excited to take part in the event, which will be held in the beautiful Co-Prosperity Sphere, an experimental cultural center just outside of the city.

I have a few ideas making their rounds through my sketch pads, but I think I’ve decided to focus on ornamental vowels for my contribution. Here is a page of very preliminary sketches to give you an idea.

First obstacle I’ve encountered: I would really like to screen print my work for the show, but I am new to Chicago and although I have the supplies, I’m lacking the facilities. I have about a month to figure this out, so if anyone knows of a small shop in the area, I would be very grateful!

I plan to post progress along the way, and I welcome any feedback!
