Grafik

So, it's back to basics. This week I did a woodcut, something I haven't done since the 4th grade. Its a portrait of one of my roommates, it's supposed to be reminiscent of the turn of the century German graphic style.

"What the hell happened last night?"

Here are a few of the best (and possibly most embarrassing) costumes I saw this Halloween.

Blah Blah Blah

So AIGA Baltimore has coordinated a design lecture to come to MICA on October 27th. The lecturer is Brian Collins, he's a big deal in the branding scene and a will give a good lecture that I plan to attend. Here's the poster I designed for the lecture:

New & Exciting *UPD*

It's been a little while since the last update but I have a few new things to show for my absence.  First of all, my new website, www.csaustodesign.com , went live this week. Its just the portfolio business but all tucked into one nice, neat and colorful package. Also, I have new piece of work that I'm posting. It's an alley cat race poster, let me know what you think. I was working with baltimore-based design Julie Diewald and we did a bunch of branding and promo materials to go along with it, but those will most likely end up on the website eventually. 

UPDATE:

Here are some more photos of the additional elements connected with this project, there's a print brochure, swatch cards/carrier and paint packaging included in these images.

So my friend, Dan, is in-between jobs. He sent me a video piece he did today expressing his feelings about his current situation. Keep in mind he's an artist with no formal training.

"between jobs"

Genius.

It's TIE WEDNESDAY

So I started a new internship this week at R2integrated, and every Wednesday is Tie Wednesday obviously meaning that all males (and some females) wear ties to work. I was told "It's the only way we can feel a little grown up around here." Here's a typography poster I designed to promote Tie Wednesday.

Oh by the way, Liverpool v. Everton tomorrow. GO REDS

It's credit crunch time,

...and I need a bigger desk.
