In the 1980s, Futura was a typographic voice for activism. A great example was the Guerilla Girls.

Had to get to Small Press Expo early for volunteer training, so once that was done I did some sketching on the Marriot patio. Started inking this during the show but probably won’t finish until afterwards lol.

Happy to have been able to contribute some thoughts to @goodspeed.bsky.social’s latest piece for @its-nice-that.bsky.social.

The Good, the Bad, and the Iffy: is there such a thing as an ethical designer?
Designers from Pentagram, Koto, Creech, and more talk candidly about the murky waters of client selection, the logistics and risks of rejecting work on moral grounds, and how to keep afloat without lo...

Finally got some photos of the pieces I did at the urban sketching group. Had fun with both, though I prefer how the second one turned out.

Who are people’s favorite graphic designers to follow on BlueSky? Looking for some inspo especially for marketing/branding but most of what I’m seeing on lists are more in the “graphic art” territory. Or god forbid random posters and t-shirts.

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Did a meetup with my local Urban Sketchers group. Perks of being unemployed: you get to go to a gorgeous vineyard in the middle of the day to paint. Shoutout to Winchester Urban Sketchers who are trying to become an official chapter.
