Happy Purim! It’s customary to give gifts of food to friends, called mishloach manot in Hebrew (or shalach manos in Yiddish). After stenciling mine last year, I designed my own boxes this year! Each is cut from a single sheet of card stock and folded, and uses no adhesives of any kind. Sad news for you: I already ate all the hamentashen.
I’m in a show!
I made this lulav and etrog superhero team to be silly at some point in high school. My parents thought it was the most brilliant thing they’d ever seen, encased it in plastic, and put it up in their sukkah every year. Apparently nothing I’ve done since can live up to Sukkot 2000 or 2001 (I forget).
Shana tova! Stencils are like the holidays, and life in general: you start with the same pieces and try to make each new iteration exciting and fulfilling. Best wishes on a happy, healthy, and meaningful Rosh Hashana and new year!
Them’s the rules. For my stencil-making classroom at camp. (And also for life.) Big props to my awesome campers!
16” x 27”; spray painted stencil on a found wood shelf. Upcycle hooray!
Happy Mother’s Day! I made this card for my mom, but you can totally skimp out on putting in the effort and print this out for your mom too. And tell her I say hi.
In honor of Pesach/Passover, digital sketches of a planned series of 10 plagues posters. I usually start with basic sketches like these, figuring out color schemes, basic layouts and styles, and roughing out the subject matter. I plan on redrawing most of the imagery in a consistent style, and do something more interesting with the type, though I didn’t have time to finish before the holiday, and it could be a while before I get around to it. Chag sameach!
Helvetica Neue is boring. Helvetica Nu is awesome. Here’s the type sample.
Winged giraffe. I don’t get it either. Photoshop + boredom = bizarrotown.
Flying space turtle!
