Adobe Illustrator
Posted in Aesthetics on 5 March 2011 | 3 Comments »
I designed this poster (to be 16″w x 20″h) as Week One’s assignment for my online Adobe Illustrator course. I was supposed to create a “typography poster’, i.e. words/fonts only. Illustrator is delightful once you know how to use it! Any thoughts, suggestions, or critique for the poster? Thanks, C.S. Doemner

Interesting feature from The New York Times Magazine: For the 10th consecutive December, the magazine has chosen to look back on the past year through a distinctive prism: ideas. Our digest of short entries refracts the light beam of human inspiration, breaking it up into its constituent colors — innovations and insights from a spectrum [...]
Check out my new business: Whimsy Bears!
Posted in Aesthetics, Business, Personal on 16 December 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Time for my unveiling! I am officially a business owner, with a website and everything: After three months of “market research”, I have concluded there is a market for my whimsical creations. But not the lil’old grandmas I originally anticipated. Take Trent, for instance. He’s 26 years old and commissioned a Drag Racing Bear for [...]

POLL: Preference?

I am in the process of starting a business. Despite my Master’s in Business Administration, I do not have a business plan. I have no idea how I will scale the business so that it will be profitable. I do not have a elevator pitch prepared for potential meetings with angel investors. I have no [...]

Los Angeles (2): The LACMA
Posted in Aesthetics, Los Angeles, tagged LACMA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art on 30 July 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I didn’t used to like museums. Now I do. The change occurred amid numerous visits to the Getty Center. I discovered that museums are best enjoyed over dozens of visits, not stuffed into one exhausting, mind-numbing day. The key was unlearning the need to justify the time and expense of a museum visit. The $15 [...]
Pain and Emotions: Good or Bad?
Posted in Aesthetics, Philosophy and Theology on 21 May 2010 | 3 Comments »
This morning, my friend and I got into a dialogue about the nature of reality. Good breakfast conversation. As far as I can tell, my friend is an Epicurean; not the gourmand but the Grecian. When asked “How are you?” he can be expected to reply, “Another day in paradise.” The day after he fell [...]
Los Angeles (1): The Fabric District
Posted in Aesthetics, Fashion, Los Angeles on 24 November 2009 | 1 Comment »
The fabric district, found roughly along 9th street between San Julian and Santee Streets in Los Angeles (exit the 10 at San Pedro), easily makes my top ten places to be in LA. Rebecca H. first introduced me to its bolts upon bolts of fabric at wholesale prices I’d only dreamed of. It was the [...]
