One of the most anticipated shows that started this year for Hubs and I was Up All Night. And thank gawd it was swapped with Whitney (coughterribleshowsobadcough) and is now on NBC's Thursday lineup. I've never not liked anything with Will Arnett or Christina Applegate so it caught my eye immediately. I was hooked within 10 minutes of the pilot episode. Especially when they mentioned how much

Award season kicks off tonight and if you have absolutely nothing better to do and need a valid reason to drink, then you're in the right place. I've done the grunt work of searching the internet for all the other Golden Globe drinking games and compiled the better of them all into one convenient list. Click the image for the full list. You're welcome. Also, let it be warned that I will most

Halloween weekend was incredibly fun and incredibly terrifying. We got our first snow storm of the year. Woo! But nearly two feet within two hours was way too much. So much that we partied by candlelight. Food was pre-prepped, some pre-cooked, costumes were on, last pan went into the oven, and bam! Lights flickered. Within a minute they came back on. Thinking it was a fluke, I shut the oven door

It's been a long and insane few months (or seven) now. Since June I've been buried with wedding planning. It's finally all said and done but the insanity isn't going to slow down till after the holidays. Right? It never does anyway. So where have I been and what have I been doing? Let's review, shall we?

Oooh. Apparently I made it onto the homepage of Flyer Inspiration (bottom row, center). I whipped this up for some friends in San Antonio that had a gig. Typically isn't my bag of design but exciting nonetheless.

It's already September you guys! What have I been doing?!?! Oh right. Planning my own wedding. I can understand how the months just slip away now and back when Lauren was still planning her wedding, I was alongside her (virtually) designing a lot of her wedding details. From Save the Dates, to invitations, to beer labels, to cd labels, to seating cards, etc. If it was going to be printed on paper

Got some quiet time at the office to finish this up. Will probably have to scale back on texture once I pre-press for print but I'm pretty satisfied with the way it turned out. So why a two-headed eagle? Well, eagles are pretty badass. And everyone knows that two heads are better than one. New England is the birthplace of America. Eagles pretty much represent America.

I decided I'd start sharing random screen shots of what I'm working on from time to time. So today we have my Badass Brew marketing campaign. We at work have decided to start targeting specific types of clients that we'd like to work with. In this case, a craft or micro-brewery. So I'm creating a label for beer bottles that we will send out to various beer companies. Ya know, catch their eye. I

That's an actual line from the lyrical version of the "I Love Lucy" theme song. Yes, it's a real song with real lyrics. Not just the theme. And to this day I can still hear Desi singing it. Not only in my head but also in my heart. Because that's where Lucille Ball has always been. I can never put into words what Lucille Ball means to me. It's bordering creepy how obsessed I am about Lucy. And

Just wanted to show you my dino mug. I'm so excited to drink coffee out of it. Why? Because it's one of those "disappearing" type of mugs. I have no idea what the technical term is but basically it looks like a normal coffee mug but with dinos on it. Pour in some hot coffee and you're left with dino skeletons.

This made me laugh. Especially the last line. It's a stop-motion video by Joe Hollier about Comic Sans fighting back. Dialogue originally from Mike Lacher. I'm Comic Sans, Asshole from joehollier on Vimeo. It's done wonderfully. Although, I feel there is an unnecessary amount of cursing. It surprises myself that I say that but it sounds like a fourteen-year-old cursing every other word just

I'm mentally preparing myself for another wedding. I've barely recovered from my best friend's wedding last week. Thankfully I get to go back to Texas next week for Lauren and Trenton's. Mysteriously my best friends and myself are all getting married this year. I can't wait for Lauren's bachelorette party. I did the invite way back in February. Sneak peek only. We don't need party crashers.

I haven't really been paying attention to the Royal Wedding. Not that I was necessarily trying to avoid it either. I mean, it's a bit hard to ignore when it's every-fuh-reaking-where. What I have been paying attention to though are all the ridiculous "Wills & Kate" souvenirs, knickknacks, and devout followers. Finally, we have royal condoms. Yes, these are meant to protect your Crown Jewels

For those that weren't in the know, I'm getting married in November of this year. So far I've been burned by two different venues and ignored by countless more. The stress and worry had been eating at me for weeks. In a moment of panic I started looking into Vegas. But things finally fell into place and as of today the venue has been booked. I'm really pumped about it. I think it fits with our

I stumbled across The 50 Things Every Graphic Design Student Should Know this morning. It's some solid advice. And not just for students or graduates-to-be but for any designer in any stage of their career. I've been at this professionally for almost eight years now. It's insane when I look back and take in how much work I've actually done because I feel like I'm still a student all the time.

Finally got around to editing all the video from our cross-country journey. We traveled from Texas to Massachusetts in about four days. It was fun, it was long, and by the fourth day we were really ready for it to be over. I just got a Flip for Christmas so this is the first project I filmed with it.

My dear ol' friend Lauren is getting married this summer. I was thrilled when she asked me if I would design all of her invites and stationary-related items. She sent me tons of links and scattered (at times) thoughts on what she wanted. Having known her since we were fourteen was probably the saving grace for me. As in, I know her pretty well so I already had a head start about what she likes.

I feel as if I've become a beer disciple of sorts. Yes, that's a bit pretentious but in all fairness, I surprisingly know more than I think when I start talking. With places like Flying Saucer, Hills N' Dales, plus loads of new microbreweries in the area, I think I can pull it off. To add to the positives, I thoroughly enjoy festivals about and related to beer. My friends like beer too, so I'll

Bacon. Sausage. BBQ Sauce. Heart attack in the making. Is this the future for barbecue-ers? Take two pounds of bacon, chop some up, weave in between two pounds of sausage, slather on bbq sauce and then wrap the remaining bacon around sausage. You just made yourself a Bacon Explosion. I think the name is appropriate because your heart is surely to explode after consuming such a thing. It contains

You've seen that Zyrtec commercial where the lady says, "You know that song time in a bottle? Well I've got time in a bottle..." The acting is awful and the commercial doesn't make a lot of sense except for an obscure reference to a Jim Croce song. Which, yes, I did have to look up to find out. I had no idea what song that lady was talking about. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the only purpose

Rumor has it on several sites including G4 and FlyLyf that Warner Bros. is interested in Johhnny Depp to play the Riddler in the next (if it happens, which it probably will) Batman movie. Not only are they supposedly interested in Depp but also Philip Seymour Hoffman for the Penguin and Angelina Jolie is rumored to be after the role of Catwoman.This would be an awesome cast, but is it realistic?

As I've grown older (and yes I realize it isn't that old to begin with) I have become less rebellious and more prideful in things that make me, well, me. No matter where I may go and what I may do in life, Texas will always hold a very special place in my heart. Sometimes I do things that make me un-Texan. I trained myself to not use "ya'll" and "yonder" in my vocabulary. I've tried my hardest to

Almost.My original intentions were to go back to school this fall but I missed the application deadline. I actually never found the date in stone and assumed it was the end of July sometime. Obviously, I was wrong. The plans have changed and now I intend to go back starting in the spring.In the meantime I want to take some sort of classes. Something that will benefit my professional skills

And rightfully so.This was my blog of all blogs at one point in time. I was new to the world of blogging (outside of LiveJournal anyway) and took flight in creating a blog with my own name. One day I decided to clear out the blog in hopes of a fresh start (for whatever reason I had at the time). Instead of deleting all the posts, I accidentally deleted the entire blog.

Texas can claim the number one foam hand as their own. The foam hand isn't as old as I thought it would be. But the creator of the foam hand has a sweet story that involves rags to riches and that determined spirit for success.In 1978 former high school teacher, geral fauss came up with the #1 foam hand, since then it has become a universal symbol for the phrase 'we're number one' and is among

I've had this un-gawdly itch to go back to red for the past year. I think I'm finally going to do it this weekend. I was holding back originally because I had worked so hard to get my natural back but since I already dyed parts of it brassy and that now needs to be gone, might as well go red. It's been over six years I think. A little scared.

You haven't seen all that San Antonio has to offer until you've seen Bikini Man. Within the past few months I've noticed him more and more. Riding his bike, buying lumber and running straight into him at The Mix. It's a little hard to avoid him when you're on you way to re-open your tab for another Red Stripe and he's standing in the doorway. Blue package and all. I, personally, have never spoken

There has been much heated debate since Absolut ran a "controversial" ad in Mexico last month. Mostly from Americans who are butt-hurt over the ad and have no sense of humor whatsoever. Click the image below for the full ad.I found it to be rather clever and a definite eye catcher. However, that small percent of "people who ruin it for everyone else" did not. The ad was meant to run in Mexico.

In an attempt to re-instill itself into consumer minds, Starbucks has rolled out a new design on their cups.Because the green Starbucks logo is so pervasive, the switch to the retro version is an immediate attention-grabber.
