Present Joys

I researched, created, and designed a 200-page book about the history and culture of my alma mater, the Columbus College of Art & Design. Today, I launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a print run of this very cool, very niche project.

Check it out, help tell local history, and get a cool book!

It was deeply refreshing to be with these people for a short while today. A little like old times. Next time, let’s make it last a little longer.

I worked as a teaching assistant in CCAD’s Saturday Morning Art Class program the whole time I was in college. I returned to the program this fall to teach my very own class of sixth- and seventh-graders: Art and Technology.

In our first week of class, yesterday, I taught my students how to use Photoshop’s lasso tool and clipping masks to create this lovely piece.

I don’t think any of them knew who it is in these pictures.

I’m profoundly grateful to have witnessed the burgeoning creativity and enjoyed the friendship of these two mysterious characters. They’ve made senior year infinitely more pleasant.
