Dailey Crafton is a good friend of mine that now lives in Brooklyn, NY. He’s an awesome graphic designer and recently was featured in this very cool how-to video on how to create block prints. I love block prints and if you remember, my wife made me one for V-Day this year. Check out this how-to and make your own awesome art!

So with Michelle having 18 out of 40 weeks accomplished in her pregnancy, babies are finding themselves on our brain more frequently. I find myself ready baby blogs more than design blogs and thinking up cool ways to decorate our nursery. Michelle is finally beginning to show and we’ve talked about taking photos of her growing belly. At first I thought this was a little cheesy until I saw what photographer, Ryan Marshall has done. This is just the coolest idea. Every week he takes shots of his wife and writes a note about what has happened that week. What a great memory! I think I may have to steal this idea. And on a personal note, I think it’s very cool to see a dad’s love for his unborn so transparent. We need more dads like this. Here’s a few of his shots. Be sure to read the captions as well!

Jessica Hische is not only an incredible designer, but incredible with type, and not only is she incredible with type, she’s an incredible illustrator. Anytime you start feeling like you’re something special or start becoming a prima donna, take a look at artists like her. Then you’ll realize you’ve got a long way to go. But she has been doing a type project since September of 09 where she creates a new drop cap every day. And they’re all uniquely different and equally beautiful. Five stars says me.
