  • The death of paper not print

    It occurs to me beautiful picture books on paper will be much more scarce in the future. No doubt it’s why I have a yearning to design a book of late. Looking at a French travel picture book I used for a class reference reminded me of how remarkably well books can draw you in […]

  • the icon and the inconoclast

    One of my most vivid memories of 2008 were election night.
