Grand Old Day 2010

Photobucket

Last Sunday was Grand Old Day, the day Grand Avenue in St. Paul is closed to car traffic, and the street is filled to the brim with people!

At Wet Paint, we give away these "grand-danas," a cloth hanky that we invite the public to decorate with Tee Juice markers by Jacquard. Here's mine.

It was great. I designed this year's Grand-dana, and it was fun to see the variety of differences that people applied to them.

It was a wonderful time had by all!

Logo, Somewhat NSFW illustration, and Acrylic Paint

Well, it's been about a month or so since my last post- so what have I been up to? That I can post?

Come to Wet Paint on June 6th! We're going to give away "grand-danas" and you can decorate them using Jacquard tee-juice markers! Going to be a lot of fun. I designed this year's Grandana.

This little logo was done for the Harriet Alexander Nature Center. They've got a really neat boardwalk in a large marsh, and after years of deterioration, they're finally revitalizing the boardwalk. Parts of it are VERY gnarly, and contributing some dollars to making it easier to see a thriving ecosystem is a worthwhile cause.

My friend Anna routinely asks cartoonists in the Twin Cities (and beyond) to draw her nude/naked. It doesn't matter if it's accurate at all, it's an exercise in community and fun. Here's mine. Pretty tame, but spunky!

Update: Apparently, a rather chaste drawing of a nude is too shocking for Photobucket. If they do this again, this might be the push I need to switch to Flickr. Just saying.

This project is sort of on a pause, but I think it'll be revived soon (why will be explained shortly). Noise music/found-sound music. Going to kick some ass.

This is an idea I've been playing with for a while. For a long while. I figure putting some of the development process online and public is a great way to get the job done! Here's some variations.

I'm moving to Saint Paul in June. I'm very excited about this! Have a great memorial day!

TTYL!
