A Small Gesture—

I’m still reeling from the unbelievable decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to not stop the execution of Troy Davis last night in Georgia. So as a small gesture of anger, I designed this poster today.

Medical Anthropology Site Re-design


I’m currently working on a re-design of UNC’s Medical Anthropology department website. (I designed the previous site in mid-2009.) I will also be developing it using WordPress as the CMS, in order for the department to be able to easily update information on the site more often. Stay tuned for previews.

The Here and Now—


I finally got around to updating the news section of my site… and decided to just get rid of the old posts (except for some old ones with poems… yeah, that’s right).
I’m also now looking for a full-time position in the Triangle area, so get in touch if you’ve got any leads!
And—
Pictured above is a spread featuring two of my logos in The Brand New Awards Book published by Under Consideration.

Present/Tense

carded and accounted for, acknowledged–
these exchanges are Forgettable
this packing up is Tiresome
those deliveries are Heavy-less
and without any idea

but we continue to count the thoughts that Count

That sad AntiquesRoadshow Hope

you’ve collected and amassed a whole hell of alot

towards the Expert’s expertise
you speak Rehearsed with Interest&Want:
do you really think it has Worth?
