PROCEED AND BE BOLD!

A new documentary on the great printer Amos Kennedy Jr. is making its way across the U.S. Judging by the trailer, I will say that it’s definitely an interesting story to say the least. I love his work (I already own a few fine prints), and will absolutely check it out when it hits Milwaukee.

The Next Level

Well, we did it. We have a signed purchase agreement for a home. We had our eyes on this house for some time, and the timing was right for us to buy. I feel as if we have achieved the pinnacle. We are officially living the high life, and I’m thrilled.

We Will Triumph in Time, Grasshopper

Check out the Grasshopper, a great-looking electric bicycle designed by David Gonçalves. More pics of his project can be seen here. Excellent work.

Also, check out the latest Worldchanging article concerning the status of the electric bike in North America. Enlightening, informative, and entertaining. That’s why I like Worldchanging so much.

Ulana @ MoCCA

My good friend and supremely-talented illustrator friend Ulana Zahajkewycz (I write her last name all the time because I am proud to spell it without hesitation) will have a table at the MoCCA Festival this Saturday and Sunday. Stop by and check out her awesome work if you have the chance. Above is a preview of a small book she’s doing, entitled Some Kind of Average Avengers
