CARDON IN SHOW

Cardon is in a typography show that opened this past Thursday at SVA. He was asked to do an installation and this is what he came up with. It's a little hard to photograph because it's not meant to be seen. The quotes are a nod to Beatrice Ward and Frank Lloyd Wright (not direct quotes, interpretations). His idea was bringing them together through medium and placement.

MOMA

A few days ago we went to the MOMA to check out the color show. If you are in the neighborhood i would definitely recommend seeing it. My favorite was this room with the neon lights, as seen above captured with a janky phone photo.

ADC PAPER EXPO

Last night i was able to attend the ADC Paper Expo. Besides fighting the crowds it was really nice. I was able to pick up some really great samples.



One print/paper shop even had a letterpress set up, printing off thankyou cards.

JACK RABBITS

This year we celebrated Easter with our neighbors the Doxeys.
We had a little Easter egg hunt out back, mostly for Leah, but for Cardon too.




After the Easter egg hunt we made a delicious feast that we enjoyed with the Doxeys and the Eastmans. Check out this sweet cake we ate for dessert, compliments of Amber.

GOT MY COOK ON

A few days ago some of my co-workers and one of our clients left work early and had a little informal team building celebration. What better way to do that then taking a cooking lesson? It was so fun! We went to the NY Institute of Culinary Education I would definitely recommend it. We split up into three groups and each made a course (potato gnocchi with mushroom ragout, roasted striped bass filets with sauteed shallots and thyme orzo, and red velvet cakes with cream cheese icing). I helped make the potato gnocchi.

The guy to the left is my head creative director, Sven.

The girls with the hats are Kate and Jess, some of my fellow co-workers. I work with a really great team. They are all super nice and have made me feel right at home.

Here are a few more girls that i work closely with, Austyn and Gretta. They are helping with the gnocchi. Aren't our hats sweet.

THESE FLATS WERE MADE FOR WALKING AND THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY'LL DO

So Cardon and I recently watched a movie about health that said you are suppose to walk 10,000 steps a day. So for my birthday Cardon bought me a pedometer. I have been so into it. I think the people at my work are wondering why i rock a beeper when i own an iphone.

So just in the last week i have walked 56,907 steps. That's a total of 27.29 miles, an average of about 4 miles a day. Which is pretty good for someone who sits at the computer most of the day for work. I am getting excited for the warm weather to come so i can be out and about more.

MAKEOVER

Past transgressions of her previous owner




Me and surf punk John bangin out some dents and sanding the steel clean.


Shaping and sanding the bondo to give her back her natural womenly curves.


Nice shot of our beautiful backyard.



Shaped, taped and ready for primer... I think my fly is 1/4 of its way down here.



Primered and waiting to be sent to Utah for K.P.s older brother Kent to paint them powder blue.


Yes! finally after 3 months of waiting and shipping they're back, put together and looking oh so fresh. Cheers Kent!


Here is my crush, happy and clean. Peep the custom "Webbs" mud flap and new red grips!


With a new headlamp, sparkplug, back tire and her motor oil changed its like riding cloud nine to and fro.
