I recorded the acoustic guitar part last semester in Oswego, and Katie and I finally put some vocals on top of it. It turned out pretty well I think. It was fun doing the harmonizations and everything.

I just got my grades for my last semester at SUNY Oswego. My overall GPA for the semester alone was 3.66 which pushes my cumulative to 3.36.

Tonight we saw Louis Ramey, the stand-up comedian in the Campus Center at SUNY Oswego. We got their early because we thought there would be a line, but were the first ones in. We sat up front to get a good seat, and as we guessed, Louis Ramey picked on us a bit- especially Katie, [...]

I entered the SUNY Oswego Career Services Résumé Contest which judged entries for style/creativity, organization/format, and presentation/appearance. My current 2008 résumé came in either 5th or 6th place (both positions won the same prize, so I’m not sure which it was). Check out my contact page for my current résumé!

My design titled “There is No Justification for the Existence of Mustard” is being exhibited in downtown Oswego at the “Food For Thought” show. The show is from April 16th until May 17th. There is a reception on May 9th for it at 7pm.

This image is a narrative; a who-dunnit. I’ve also personified the characters without needing to use facial features or other human elements which I think is pretty nifty.

“Integrate the Type” is a message to use typography as a physical element of design. The type should not be limited to two dimensions, but should have a mass and actively engage the space it occupies. Being the subject of light, casting shadows, and having a texture should not only be properties of physical objects, [...]

This is a poster for a fictitious dental company who wanted their image to have a relaxing feeling to it. Instead of a dental office, they wanted to be seen as more of a spa.
