For those of you who have kept your distance from this blog because it crashed your browser and/or computer, (first: sorry, but) rest assured: it’s safe to come back. We’ve turned off the sifr that was apparently causing all the problems. Until we can get that figured out again, we’ll just all have to make do with Arial.
I got a job. A real, full-time, designer job. Which is cool, but I’ve been super swamped getting up to speed there, as well as finishing freelance work after hours. Here are some of the projects I’ve been working on:
I’ve been working on preliminary ad design for the “i am chris purdy” show happening March 6th at the Sego Arts Center here in Provo. If you’re in the area, expect to see a lot more of this coming soon.
You may recognize Leo Patrone’s work in the photo shoot above (both he and Jon Canlas loaned their services and expertise to the Chris Purdy shoot). Leo just launched his updated site that I’ve been tweaking and updating for the past little bit. And Dane, as always, did masterful work with the flash design. We have a lot more work to accomplish in the next few months that I’m really excited about diving into. And as soon as we get some photos of Leo’s new business card, I’ll post that here, too. It’s pretty hot. Rob, at Tryst Press, letterpressed them beautifully. If anyone is looking for a photographer, Leo is a very special and amazing talent. Catch him while you can.
Thanks to Jon and Leo, I’ve had lots of opportunities to work with photographers over the past couple years. Mark Weinberg is another that I’ve worked with who produces amazing work. He’s releasing some post cards soon that we just finished up a couple days ago. I’ll let you know if and when and where you can see them and/or get your hands on them. They’re simple and beautiful and, naturally, have some great photos on them. Most, by the way, do not have type on the front.
That’s all the work I’m going to post today. I’ll post soon about the album cover I’ve been working on for Joshua James, as well as some fun and exciting design I’ve ran across in the past few weeks.

It’s been almost a year and a half since I started working with Jonathan Canlas—a renowned film photographer from Utah. After admiring his images from afar for some time, it was a great opportunity to get in and work with them. Since then, we’ve produced the Film is Not Dead website, the Film is Not Dead workbook (images coming soon both here and on my site), we’ve rebranded him, created an updated portfolio site, and another promotional book (again, I’ll have images of that up here soon)—not to mention various collateral and pdfs and so on and on.
Today, information on Jon’s Film is Not Dead 3 workshop was announced and will be held in beautiful San Francisco this coming July. If you’re into photography and you want to learn a TON—check it out.
And, Jon— thanks for letting me explore my creative vision along side yours.
