Yesterday’s News
First off, please forgive the obnoxious length of this post. It’s been a rockin’ few months. Lots of exciting news to share, but I’ve been too busy to keep up with posting any of it. As the pile has grown, the task of presenting it all has become more and more daunting. So now, rather than hitting you with twenty annoying mini-posts, I figured I’d bazooka you with a single (but perhaps still equally annoying)…

JFD on the cover of Communication Arts.
Each fall the design world eagerly awaits the arrival of our coveted design annuals. This year I’m extremely proud to not only have work selected for inclusion in the 2010 Communication Arts Design Annual, but to also be represented on the cover.

Talking the talk.
When I was a young boy and I began showing a serious interest in art, my mother called around looking for local creative professionals and eventually took me to visit the studio of a greeting card illustrator in the neighborhood. I can’t even begin to remember his name or what his work looked like, but I clearly remember thinking “wow, you can do this for a living. This can end up being my entire life.”…

JFD on Graphic-Exchange.
Pumped to be featured on Fabien Barral’s uber-blog, Grahpic-Exchange. For years I’ve turned to GE on an almost-daily basis for inspiration and to see what tricks the design world has up its sleeve, and I’m honored to be presented alongside such fantastic work.
*There’s no way (as far as I can tell) to link directly to the individual posts, so as time passes I’ll be sinking deeper and deeper into the graphic mire.…

Pecha Kucha 4: You’re invited.
Was very excited to be asked to design the poster for the upcoming Charleston Pecha Kucha night… Pecha Kucha 4. The location of the event is still under wraps so I can’t show the poster just yet, but I assembled the invitation (shown above) with a few snippets from the design. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept…
Pecha Kucha, Japanese for “the sound of conversation,” is a mix of show-and-tell, open-mic
