Death to “vibe coding”
I am trying to think a physical-world corollary to the mindless reliance on vibe coding and I cannot seem to find one. In the real world we seek out professionals, for our day-to-day chores. And demand them, for our important tasks; from attorneys, accountants, and...
Physical Media
In a world of digital, real products, real film, physical media, continues to stand out. Like playing a vinyl record there is a visceral, emotional connection to the physical media that is tactile and ignites the senses. The ability to hold a piece in your hands, or...
Polaroid SLR 680
I recently had the horror of opening my beloved Polaroid SLR 680 to use for a day shoot, when I opened it up and heard a terrible *THUNK* – that is something you never wish to hear. I played around gently opening and closing it, but it continued to make a terrible...
Germany Pavilion
Another piece in a collage series using Polaroid integral films. This time it is a sweeping panorama of the Germany Pavilion inside EPCOT at The Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL. The proliferation of new old-stock instant Polaroid cameras, new cameras...
Instant Photography
I have reverted back to carrying a camera with me on most excursions. A real camera – a film camera. And, more frequently it is an instant camera of some sort; either a classic Polaroid 180 Land Camera or an integral film camera like the SX-70, 680-SLR, or the new I-2...
The Falcon
As technology moves forward, I continue to reach back to my traditional trainings from the now defunct University of the Arts (nee, Philadelphia College of Art); that's another story. At PCA, we were trained in all elements of the creative arts; from typography to...
Polaroid 180
I have been a film guy, and more specifically a Polaroid-film guy, since I was a teenager. One of my first cameras was a Polaroid film camera – and once I saw the ability to take instant shots, I was hooked. I even worked myself up to be an official Polaroid artist,...
Simplí
Simplí is based on some of our other elegant fonts, our love of the “arts & crafts” style, and the wonder of “what if?”. We focused on making a simple and elegant stroke-based set of characters/glyphs and expanding that to the full Latin characters with a few...

Creative Boom
Waking up and finding out our friends at Creative Boom have included one of our first commerical font releases as a foundry on MyFonts.com as part of their best new fonts for January 2026. It is always great to have recognition, but to be included with some of these...
Sonas
Sonas in Irish, means happiness which accurately describes this font’s personality. The foundation of this family comes from an early 20th Century font from a marketing type sample from which we expanded into a full character set for modern use. Sonas has a slim...
Stróc
Stróc is an updated modern sans serif font based on an early 20th sign-painters manual and is created using only a few key strokes in Illustrator. The initial release contains a few weights and styles which have a few alternate glyphs as well as some discretionary...
Tom Morrow
While awaiting some feedback on project work I took some time to whip up a quick sans serif face based on an old logo from Tomorrowland, in the Magic Kingdom at The Walt Disney World Resort. Tomorrowoland has always been about the dreams of the future, based on the...
The Boss
Happy Birthday to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen born on this day in 1949 in Long Branch, NJ and one of The Garden State's favorite sons. Although I was born in NYC, and have lived all around the US with a brief time in the UK, I consider myself a kid from Jersey and The...
Batman, 1989
Some days you just need some time to play. This is an homage to not only Tim Burton's 1989 interpretation of Batman but also to the great illustrator's who graced the cover of "The Saturday Evening Post". From J.C. Leyendecker to Norman Rockwell, some of the finest...
The Death of Truth
Sometimes portraits take on a life of their own. The evolution of this portrait of Mon Mothma, played by the talented Genevieve O'Reilly, began in a series of the stars of the hit show "Star Wars Andor" on Disney+. I had been working through some of my favorites and...
Andor Portraits
Finished the latest portrait in the Andor, Season 2 series of portraits with Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. The series and the themes within the story arc are ones that ring very familiar to many Americans today. As we face a government that is increasingly marching...
Mon Mothma
As I rewatch Tony Gilroy's incredible interpretation of the Star Wars Universe I am struck by the great casting and how everyone has grown into their roles. Mon Mohtma is an original character from George Lucas' films so it was a tough gig to book, I am sure. However,...
