CEProfiles: Mural Madness | Jack

A goal I have set for myself for the next two years is to photograph everyone in the CEP junior class. First up, Jack!

Jack aims to focus on public art administration. 

We share a love for murals and sketchy alleys. 

Like this mural on the corner of 50th and The Ave. 

You never know what you'll find in an alley. Like this weird photo of a couple on canvas that was in a box of unwanted clothes..

Me: "Jack, what makes you happy?"

"That cat picture you just showed me."

It's a keeper.

There's an audible giggle every time I look at this.

James Turrel is one of Jack's favorite artists. 

Turrel designs beautiful skyspaces, check them out. 

Three for Six

It was a good day when Jordan came to visit.

We had big plans for this day. It was an adventure a couple months in the making.

There were plans to hit up the Starbucks on top of the Columbia Tower. We get there and it's closed. 0/1

We decide to get food at a supposedly really good sandwich place in Pioneer Square. It's also closed. 0/2

Walking around Seattle a little aimless and discouraged, we happen to stumble upon Trabant. I had no idea there was another one outside the U-District. 1/3

Comforted by coffee, and a little more coherant, we decided our next destination would be The Wandering Goose a.k.a. the ultimate comfort food brunch spot. 2/4

Breakfast was delightful. Just what we needed. The Bullitt Center (the world's greenest commercial building) wasn't too far away, so we eagerly hopped on the bus (but only after we sang some Christmas carols at the bus stop). The Bullitt Center was closed. 2/5

Feeling discouraged once again, and a little perplexed with our luck (or lack thereof), we duck into a Trader Joe's to look for free samples. This was successful. 3/6. Three for six.

It was the best worst day! Exploring the city with these folks is always a good time, even if your success rate is only 50%. But for future plans, it's probably useful to note that Seattle apparently likes to sleep in on Saturday mornings.

The trees are on fire.

Hey look, a deciduous conifer. But really, they exist. 

This fall has looked like a psychedelic daydream. Perfect, crazy colors. Brisk weather. Happy An. 

Don't blink, you might miss it

Design Doodles: Biodiversity Green Wall

I am starting a new series on the blog called Design Doodles: for all those times when I'd rather mess around in Illustrator and InDesign than do homework or anything else. This particular doodle is work related because all I've been thinking about for the past two weeks is the poster session that I am planning for next week.

hey bikers!

Collin the cameraman!

Here we are, this is most of the 2015 CEP class. We'll take another photo with everyone soon hopefully. I don't know about you, but I'd say we're a pretty fantastic group.
