Another poster for the Harvard Square Business Association. Apparently this one is going to be an ad wrap for the Metro. I’ll let you know when that is.

Did some updating to the Harry and the Potters site. Same design but some more bells and whistles. Hopefully more to come!

Designed with 75% recycled graphics!

Added some more shirts and some other stuff to mysoti.com Check them out! http://www.mysoti.com/mysoti/designer/georg

If you’re reading this there’s a good chance you’ve seen some of these images before. That is because I am big into sustainability and believe in reusing as much of my work as possible. And I’m lazy.

There’s free wifi in Harvard Square! You should go and enjoy it, and look at the banners I made!

Did a quick redesign for 154 Consulting this week. More bells and whistles to come, but this is the basic idea.

The character select screen. They are so happy to be at work!

Can’t believe I never posted this.  A great game by Andrew Paradise that I did the art and character design/animation for.  A kind of outlandish concept of a malfunctioning microwave and the bored office workers who make a game of throwing things at it. I bug him on and off to work on version 2.0, hopefully that’ll happen someday soon.  You can play the finished version here: http://casualgameplay.com/cgdc4/?gameID=39

You know what the internet needs more of? T-shirts. Simply not enough out there. I have decided to do my part to combat this issue.

I have a few designs up on MySoti.  You can check them out at http://www.mysoti.com/mysoti/designer/georg/

MySoti uses “Direct To Garment” printing, which is most decidedly NOT screen printing, but by all account I’ve read, it’s pretty high quality.  I’m going to order a couple and see how they look. If you are scared of such newfangled ways of printing, but still like the designs, email me and let me know.  The plan is to silkscreen these if there’s enough interest.

Okay! Great!

I was walking down the street earlier today when a rogue soccer ball went flying past me.  It belonged to a group of Caribbean guys in front of me on the sidewalk.  Being a little spacey still from too much computer time, I pick it up and toss it over instead of kicking it like most anyone who’s ever been around a soccer ball would do. They good-naturedly invite me to play which I decline, explaining I’m more of a baseball guy.  

They look a little puzzled for a moment and then one of them says, “Yeah, you’re American. You don’t know how to play, right?”  And then it was kind of an odd moment when I thought for a second that I should know how to play soccer because I live in Crown Heights, and then I remembered that Crown Heights is actually in New York City. I forget this sometimes, which is kind of cool.

Something I am maybe working on. Might just ditch it.

From Scotland — land of the Kings of 90s Sad Bastard Music, Belle & Sebastian — comes another strong entrant for Saddest Band of the 21st Century: Camera Obscura. Since 2001 they’ve cranked out four solid albums of completely depressing, yet still toe-tappingly catchy indie pop music.  

Lead singer Tracyanne Campbell probably isn’t quite in Edith Piaf territory so far as making people cry by singing the phone book, but she’ll probably make you think that everyone from Aaron Aardsman to Zachary Zavracky broke her heart in the last three months.

An example from the new album:

What? Not sad enough for you? Okay, you asked for it:

You would do well to grab some chamomile tea and stare wistfully out the window for awhile… Otherwise we will all see you cry!
