Portraits: Andrew Zuckerman
I've been a fan of Andrew's work for some time now, but I knew him primarily as a portrait artist. A recent visit to his site gave me insight into just how broad a reach he has with his work. I spent a good hour clicking through portraits, landscapes, short interviews with musicians, beautiful shots of animals, and a trailer of what looks like a good short film. (Why it's not available to view for free I'm not sure, but I want to see it). My favorite store in my neighborhood, Swallow, on Smith Street, has his book "Creatures" which I spent another 30 minutes going through. So if you're looking for a good way to put off whatever project you're working on for an hour or two and a good dose of inspiration hit his site or better yet wander into Swallow write me a note, and let me know what you think.

Agency, Director, Production Studio?
Yes. I work directly with clients, collaborating, brainstorming and generally filling the role of agency and production house at the same time. I'm just as happy coming on board as a hired director under an existing agency...Continue

Events: New Design Matters/Artist Series Film
I recently teamed up with Debbie Millman and her Design Matters show and we produced another film – the first collaboration yielded the Lawrence Weiner short. This one we filmed live, in front of an audience of a little over 100 people at the SVA studio where Debbie records the Design Matters radio show. It features Malcolm Gladwell discussing with Debbie the design of his three book box set with the designer Paul Sahre and illustrator Brian Rea, along with DeeDee Gordon and project producer Josh Liberson.
Events: HC to speak at How, Boston
I unfortunately had to cancel at the conference I was most looking forward to in 2012, FITC Amsterdam coming up February 27th. The good news is I will be driving to How Design Conference in Boston. Another favorite conference of mine. Always a good time. I’ll be talking about my second book, MTIV, and how I would add to it now 10 years later. It will be a personal talk about what I’ve learned dealing with clients, the thin line between collaboration and cowardice, and how to remain always aware of your vision. Hope to see you there.
