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.

Stalling, Yeah Yeah, Maybe

January 7, 2009

On this blog re-design, whether or not I should renew my Flickr pro account, if we should suck it up and buy Mario Kart (wii) online, packing lunches for work…the usual. Oh, and the whole: what happens in 6 months when it is time to move, again. Do we stay in Ithaca/New York? Is it possible to continue to work at AWP if we DO move? Do I buy some land and start farming? Have another kid? Steal the beer jar money from work (probably at 85 cents) and buy a corner store cookie?

2009 is already daunting, but for some reason I’m not letting it get me down. In fact, I’m almost up for every one of those odd questions/challenges. I probably won’t start farming, and if I want to we could try with that .025 acre we have in Ohio (snap).  Maybe this has something to do with being able to just deal with stuff:

My little 3.5 year-old is tons of fun. Aside from the midnight/morning visits he provides pretty regularly: this age rocks. If that doesn’t explain my attitude than it could be Obama. Dfntly.

Oh, 2009 will be the year I give more stuff away, too. Including free websites and logos to non-profits. Yes. More on that later…

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.
