BALTIMORE
Baltimore’s book culture has been a comforting and compelling part of the city for me during my time here. As an artist, whether I am visiting the Walters Museum’s collection of illuminated manuscripts, looking at rare volumes on Howard Street’s Antique Row, or just picking up some free books at the Book Thing, I usually have my sketchbook with me. I made this hardbound flat-back as a representation of my Baltimore through the different ways we treat our books. It catalogues what they say, what I know, and what I think about the city.
"DAI" LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF NIGHT
I'm a designer, painter, and recent graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art living in Baltimore.
My design is informed by art history and the handmade because I was in love with Goya, Hammershøi, and Bellows long before I found affection for Dwiggins or Glaser. Type design and lettering enthrall me more than any other aspect of graphic design and I think it’s because the product is a tool as well as an object of beauty. Type draws on the history of media, eliciting specific, often subconscious responses from readers.
Also, an honest profile of myself would not be complete without mention of my love for cooking. I'm usually thinking about Saturday’s dinner while eating Thursday’s lunch.
