"Hair'em Scare'em" Sneak Preview

Heard from Gestalten today. The book's been designed and will be available for purchase in October. See the sneak preview. It's super impressive!! I'm wicked flattered to be included somewhere alongside the other amazing artists and designers. I wonder what page My Beard is on.

Re:Located

I moved in July. Right before that, I made this banner to post on my website as "July News." Didn't get to do that... so in an attempt to give it the glory it deserves, I'm giving it a home on d-o-i-n-g-s.

Awesome Screen Shots: The Who's TOMMY

I love taking pictures of the screen during weird movies. Before this, I took pictures of the movie Highlander during every scene where the Kurgan appears. Wasn't really sure what to do with that... but now I'm kind of realizing that screen shots are sort of art in themselves. The photos standing alone, out of the film context, seem to have their own narrative - or invite the viewer to project one. Tommy is such a weird flick, and, like my other faves, Highlander and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it has plenty of killer set-ups for my eyes to devour. The rest of the screen shots are up on flickr.

Horne is Getting Published!

This month I was invited to submit the poster "My Beard" (for Sweet Hair) to be published in a book! The book's working title is "HAIRY," and it's being published by Gestalten. I've always loved their books, so this is a huge honor! Here is the project description:

HAIRY, an upcoming title by international art and design book publisher Gestalten, will document and celebrate the beauty and strangeness of hair in a crosssection of contemporary projects in fashion, photography, art and illustration.

Recent side project: make some graphics for Blacklist Vintage's B-Day Digger Sale. Here's the poster (11 x 17 Kinko's action...hooray budget$!) There is also a flyer & a web banner, soon to be posted on my website.

BTW, if you are reading this and you're in Mpls, you should totes go to this event!
