the dc | baltimore egotist

Friday, September 24th, 2010

In their words: The D.C. | Baltimore Egotist is the brand-spankin’ new place to celebrate great creative from local agencies, artists, and thinkers. It’s like the internet’s throwing a party for you – only there’s no cake and no one’s going to puke behind your couch.

It’s a great design resource and frankly DC is definitely lacking in design resources if you ask me. Reasons you should check it out; it has a job board, you can showcase your portfolio, find local talent,  show off creative and get daily inspiration.

Check the site out here. And follow them on twitter here.

the sarah project: update

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Hi everyone! Just wanted to update you on my whereabouts, I recently decided to quit my day job and pursue freelancing full-time as well as designing and selling my own handmade goodies! Which lucky for you means more blogging and crafts from me! Now for some shameless self-promotion…I am available starting now for any freelance opportunities, especially fancy invitation designs which are my specialty. Check out all my work here.

With that said, I’m sorry to say there will be no more Sarah Project posts since that was done in my office and just won’t feel the same if I doing it alone and at home.

Adorable 4C screenprinted bicycle poster by Barrel. The second addition of this print is available for pre-order in their shop.

A screenprinted poster designed by Allan Peters for Artcrank 2010 in Minneapolis. (aka a poster party for bike people.) Check out Allan’s entire portfolio—it’s all fantastic design work; really, really top notch. I especially love this birth announcement.

ugmonk

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

This weekend I visited a new store opening, Ugmonk. They offer simple, well-designed cotton t-shirts, and they display them in the most shocking t-shirt shop display you have never seen! I love their loose fitting cut and care-free designs, I think 7 days a week is my favorite because that 7 is just beautiful, I could really wear that shirt anywhere. And I wish I was wearing the No shirt today…it’s just one of those days.
