Things I have learned in my life so far (Paperback)
by Stefan Sagmeister (Author), Daniel Nettle (Contributor), Steven Heller (Contributor), Nancy Spector (Contributor)
“This book began as a list designer Stefan Sagmeister made in his diary under the title Things I have learned in my life so far, which includes statements such as “Worrying solves nothing” and “Trying to look good limits my life.” The list reveals something that is profoundly true: Although human beings have been pursuing happiness for countless generations, it is not so easily achieved. And we need constant reminders to keep us on the right path.” Description via Amazon

Today I designed a logo for a project by Marty Harris, Moleskine Exchange.
Blogspot Intentions: to follow the adventure of a group of artists around the world (me included), in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange.
Now present on: smogr.com
My first Moleskine illustration:
A spread from the Moleskine Exchange.
Medium: Pen & Silver Transfers
Starting with the image of a piano left by fellow artist Hans, illustrating by pure artistry guidance. For more information on the project, visit the blog - moleskinex.blogspot.com
Post UPDATE January 29, 2008

Post UPDATE February 5, 2008
The first entry in my Moleskine, influenced by the repeating pattern i designed for this blog.
Medium: Pen & Silver Transfers
This is my entry in Joyce’s Moleskine, she requested for the first entry, we introduce ourselves by drawing a self portrait. Therefore following the work by fellow artist Hans, the colour mustard remains dominant, keeping the composition flowing - collaging my figure from magazine cuts.
