Brett weds
The handshake at the altar I met Brett over 9 years ago while on our first jobs in Columbus, Ohio. An English bloke with good looks and a tolerance for beer. We found ourselves commiserating over our careers with staggering ease. I left the job a few years into it and headed back to Cincinnati…

T-shirt Collection: Slim’s
Standing by the defibrillator at Newark Liberty International Airport I’ve never had a good nickname. It wasn’t until the this past year that I heard one that sorta sticks. “Slim” I’m less slim than I am a potato stuck on toothpicks, but I try and dress the spare tire down. When I saw this shirt…

Patterns

The clean plate club

St. Louis and beyond
A measured look Today I spent a little time at Jim and Kevin’s studio, then we went out to lunch at the place where Jim did the identity. They had this signs to install on the windows. It went, not so good, and it was determined the bitter cold was culprit. I got to eat…

Pancakes, train stations, dream stars and UNO®
This image makes no sense Sunday, January 4 – It began with the smell of breakfast at the 3 bears house. TheMonkeyBear was in the kitchen, up before anyone else, making pancakes, sausage and eggs.

Four Seasons in One Day
Crashpad (complete with little towels and mints) The day began with a run through tour of the Cincinnati Art Museum while the weather was still a bit springlike and t-shirty. Hitting the Cincinnati Wing along with some of the modern, European and American rooms, Art and I absorbed as much as we could on a…
