Hard To… Open Stuff

There are things in this world made by nature and made by humans that are not suitable for humans.  This is a look at the things that are hard to open.

Stuff Kids Can’t Open:

1. Jam. Jam is tough.  It confuses the would-be opener with its stickiness and promising aroma.  Adults can typically use logic to get around these distractions.

2. Eggs. Anyone can open eggs, it’s just the usability afterwards that matters.  This is where kids fail with eggs.

3. Gym Membership. No gym that’s worth going to is going to let a kid get a membership, so be sure to ask the gym if they’d let a kid off the street sign up for one before you do.

Stuff Both Adults and Kids Can’t Open:

4. Milk Cartons. Waxy paper paired often with a dire need for its contents makes the carton a hard thing for anyone.

5. Medicine Bottles. No complaining here because this is an important one.  I’d rather everybody die than have kids be able to open my medicine bottles better than me.

6. Green Banana. We know this is the best time to eat one, but the bananas know this too, and won’t give up the chalky goodness easily, for anyone.

Stuff Adults Can’t Open:

7. Kid’s Piggy Bank. Adults can, it is however not advised, especially if it’s a kid you have some responsibility to.  Loose-moraled kids will later break your piggy bank for concert or school supply money.

8. New Technological Device. I’m not saying adults can’t do computers, I’m saying they can’t do computers that were released after the year they got a real job.

9. Hot Dog Buns. They make these things for people with dagger fingers or adults with kid-sized hands.  Kids can’t even keep them clamshelled, but at least they can get their dog in there.

Bird 9: Canada Goose

I am making a concerted effort fo finish up the Birds of Brooklyn poster by the end of next week. It will have 15 of the most commonly seen birds around Brooklyn, mostly my home-base Prospect Park. This one here is the venerable Canada Goose. I've always been into these birds as we had dozens that would summer in the pasture next to our house. 

Oye

Been mega busy with works but this one slipped out in all the pixel work I’ve been doing.

Double Business

Working on an identity for DJ Lani Love, who also happens to be half of the fashion blog Sugar Rock Catwalk.  For the upcoming NY Fashion Week, she needed something that could do double duty, as she will be DJing the Independent Fashion Bloggers event and there as a representative for the blog.  Information overload on business cards is a tough thing to deal with.  I tried to keep it clean with a lean font and simple graphics.  As with nearly all projects, there ended up being a designer’s pick and a client’s pick.  On the internet, you get to see both!

This is an alternate look for the upcoming art for DJ Lani Love's new summer mixtape. In this version, the text for Lani Love is large and interacts with the front row of trees. I really liked this treatment but also have to admit that Ms Love was right in requesting a smaller, more cohesive nametag down at the bottom. Final version coming soon.

Another pixel-rocker. Though the project that houses them is a ways off, I'll keep 'em comin'.
