Sursly Inc. – Fonts, Photos, & Fine Digital Goods

Hi, a new site/business is gestating and will be here soon. My old one page, horizontal scroller site is available on Github. I also recently created three fonts: Lickety Split, Guilder, and Knewave. Contact me at or call +1 (607) 216-8779.

Sursly? What’s the deal?

December 1, 2008

It has come to my attention (ahem, Analytics) that my site got “noticed”.

I’m having a bit of trouble pinpointing where exactly it started, but I’ll say this: “thanks.” Looks like Kyle (who’s work I’ve been admiring on Flickr since Veerle’s contest) gave a nod here and there, which feels nice.

I really have only scratched the surface of what I want to do with my hori-scroll site, and hopefully more goodies will be coming soon. And I’m really anxious to make it happen, since I refuse to touch this blog design (broken, I know) until the “front” of sursly looks hot.

I did get to spend some good time in Illustrator/Photoshop the other day working out a holiday graphic for work (below, out of context).

While I’ve been loving the client work lately, it felt nice to spend a few hours on some internal design for a change.

    When I first came across your site my jaw dropped. I didn’t even think twice about giving it a “nod” here and there. I love to share great work with others.

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.
