Quick Summary & UPstate Design Collective Announcement

November 14, 2008

So the “beta” site has been live for a few weeks now. This downtime (neglect) has made me realize how much cooler it can still get. Big things coming. BIG.

Another big thing:  the logo for my coming soon design-networking site (Upstate Design Collective) is done. And here it is:

Why pink? Why not. And for the rest of the world who wouldn’t need more context than just “UP”:

While we’re currently gathering members via LinkedIn and word of mouth the true form of the collective will be through its own website (in the works). It’ll launch by 2009 and be kept insanely simple: showcase of work from designers across upstate New York and designer dialogue a la blog.

There is such an abundance of great work coming out of places other than New York City (even if the work is for a NYC-based client) that it is time we got together to pat backs. Digitally.

As for this blog re-design: in good time. Likely before the new front-page (sursly.com) updates but after the UDC site.

Photos ∞

If I'm not parenting or working, I'm probably taking pictures of people. Some of my non-people photography is available to license on Getty Images while many others are available with a Creative Commons license on Flickr.

Vimeos ∞

I also have a YouTube account you can check out.

Blackout ∞

When I launched the previous version of sursly.com I designed it based on this font that I created.

Lickety Split ∞

My most recent typeface! It originated as crayon on index cards and is beautifully sloppy.

Ostrich Sans ∞

An open source font family that I created and happily share over at The League of Moveable Type.

Guilder ∞

An elegant condensed typeface in several styles (and featured as headings in this current site design).

Dribbble ∞

there are so many people out there making incredible things. I don't contribute as often as I'd like because I'm busy packing lunches for a six year old.

A Little Background

I specialize in web, logo and font design (& brand development) in Ithaca, New York. I have freelanced since 2003, when I received a BFA in Film, Photography, and Visual Arts. I spent over one year as a designer for Sharktooth Creative (lots of Flash and print design), then nearly three years with the wonderful AWP, a year and a half as a designer at Ithaca College, and a year with Singlebrook. I take photos of interesting people and places.

I've raised a healthy son. We have fun. I make music. I run races. I take little vacations. I survived a month long trip to India. And I recently began eating meat again for the first time in 6 years.
