So I was searching around, trying to figure out how to get my Google Reader to alphabetize my subscriptions list because it makes it easier for me to find a specific site when I want to. It used to do it automatically every time I added a new feed, but a while back it stopped, [...]
After seeing more and more referrals to my stuff coming from Twitter, I’m starting to think that I’ve got to get in on that action. Yeah, I’m pretty much an internet junkie now. Anyways, if you want to follow me, you can do so here: Gentle Pure Space Twitter. I’m just feeling it out right [...]
Gentle Pure Space is now a whole year old! The above image is just a typographic photography experiment I’ve done recently. I don’t know if my blog is important enough to get all nostalgic on the readers yet, but some of my personal highlights were: 1) Getting mentioned on some of my most inspirational blogs, [...]
Barack Obama’s official presidential portrait has just been released. Seeing him in this familiar pose just gave me chills. When I was a child looking at the rows and rows of white male portrait shots in the appendices of my textbooks, it didn’t seem like I’d would see something like this so soon in my [...]
I made this 1680×1050 widescreen desktop wallpaper featuring the Aphex Twin logo for a friend and thought other people might want to use it. It was just a quick thing for fun, so that’s the only size I have, but hopefully it’s useful for a few people.

I found the phrase Fragile manipulate with care printed on a box at work and I thought the wording was strange in a good way. Usually they say “handle with care”, but this way is a lot more poetic and up for interpretation. I thought it would make a somewhat provocative piece of art so [...]
I just found out about the Flickr group called, Typography Friday which encourages designers to create a typographic design for fun every friday. It sounds like fun and I decided to submit the above wide screen desktop wallpaper I made of a little ghost and a typographic “Boo?”. You can download the 2560×1600 size here, [...]
My design was featured in Smashing Magazine’s desktop wallpaper calendar collection for May 2008. The download links for a variety of sizes are in the post on their website. There’s even versions without the calendar on it. It’s a cool idea, the only thing that bugs me is the watermark requirement. Some of the designs [...]
I recently designed a 3 part poster series for earth day. The idea is to get people to think about the things they take from nature and the things they put into it and decide if they are “trading fairly” with nature. It was made by taking my illustrations and printing them out, then putting [...]
