para mí y míos

Threw this together today. It will no longer visible upon my completion of schooling at sccc because I’m using my free student web space but when I hit it big time, I’ll have to have a website, right? So no worries.

You know the drill [ click image to go there ]. Thanks.
Some of the links work so click those too.

By the by, I will keep working on this & am at this very moment.

Hear me out when I say this one needs to be turned up to full capacity. It was recorded in a mildly rough fashion and therefore needs to be upped in order to fully display its layers.

As always, thanks for reading & listening.
Your feedback, hate mail, love notes and what have you would be much appreciated.

This was a project from last quarter’s typography class.
I had forgotten about it. once i get back the printed version
I may re-post it with shots of the tangible.

One of the requirements was to tailor it to an audience.
I chose families; tell me if I failed miserably.

I was proud but I spent entirely too much time on that map.
The St. Louis Zoo is no easy task to replicate. The worst of it is,
I don’t think that map is even adult friendly.

Leaves, Mothers & Mountains

Aaron Bloom & Chelsey Scheffe have made
some things this summer in letterpress class :

Pathless Wood, © bloom | scheffe print

Mother, © bloom | scheffe print

It Is, © bloom | scheffe print

Photographs by Chelsey Scheffe aid of Chloe’s camera.

Pathless Wood made possible by Lance Kagey’s hand press and garden.
Thank you.

bloom | scheffe print sounds fancy. Well it is. And it isn’t because it’s just us, Aaron and Chelsey, two graphic design students at Seattle Central who decided a long time ago that they loved letterpress, messed with it on their own in various locations and met for a collaboration only this summer after having had a year of school together. That’s it. Questions? We’ll answer them. Perhaps we’ll get to more collabs next summer. Until then, thanks for looking.

about these prints | The first is a highly scientific process too complicated to describe at this juncture, just know a few leaves were harmed in the process of this poster. The second, we have no idea how it came into our heads but thanks to Ryan, we stopped calling it a tractor and gave it proper credit : backhoe front loader. The type is hand done, rendered on a polymer plate. The third is the same as the fourth, only we went crazy. So we’ll be finishing this last one, today actually only changing up the color scheme a bit. The mountains were carved by Aaron and the sky by Chelsey on linoleum block. I think I only forgot to mention the paper stock. Not a chance.

LABELED : Expansion #2

While perusing the Dieline this morning,
I found myself continually reminded of you lovely classmates
so I took it upon myself to label you in the best way possible.
This was quite fun and I hope you consider yourself slightly honored,
maybe a little peeved. I labeled myself too.

Rijuta Trivedi :
In a few words [ bright, fun, artful, engaging ]

[ geometric, simple, frustratingly effortless ]

Aaron Bloom :
[ allusive, rough, intricately simple, clever ]

Andrew Nedimyer :
[ intentional, clean, authentic ]

Marta Sivertsen :
[ delicate, detailed, minimal, conscious ]

Ana Nelson :
[ quirky, artful, cute, simple ]

Chris Martin :
[ rainbows, organic, dynamic ]

Matt Engebretson :
[ energetic, typographical, bold, simple ]

Jesse Jaren :
[ playful, timeless, adorable, un-square ]

Amy Holan :
[ round, pretty, simple ]

Mykhaylo Sinenko :
[ sophisticated, angular, detailed ]

Andy Boice :
[ textured, illustrative, dirty, complex ]

Chloe Scheffe :

Marc Lawrence :

Katy Brooks :

And now Chelsey Scheffe :
[ poised, sophisticated, typographical as said by Amy Holan ]

If you find others or think I should add someone, I will lengthen this post. Some of you I just can’t peg. You get away this time.

You know I love you all.

It’s a small spot but I liked it. Thanks, Mel.

Oh, and this was my drawing final from fall quarter.

She Let Me Shoot Today

Apparently I need only give myself the first half hour to crank out crap and then things get more interesting and … innovative. So here are some from my date with Chloe’s D40 this evening. Minimal to no processing.

By the end I had a nice bright spot in my vision. Thank you, sun.

I made this

for you
because this is the mood I have been in these days,

excepting yesterday’s torrential
downpour.

I have a recording of that, which I may give to you later. It is lovely but the
thunder was evidently hiding from my microphone. Anyways we all heard it.
