05 09 12 make your own pegboard wall
I have wanted a pegboard wall for as long as I can remember. Any devoted organizer like me would agree the gridded structure is the perfect balance of form and function. Don’t get me wrong, though. There are stacks of papers all around my office.
I followed the instructions for my wall found in the newly released Design*Sponge book.
Below you’ll see a short and sweet stop motion movie of my process.
Notice, the last few shots are accessorizing the wall. This was the hardest part. It couldn’t just be a storage wall, but an attractive focal point in the large space.

05 08 12 New Work / The Ruby
I’m thrilled to present this project to you, as it has been in the works for many months now.
The Ruby is a seasonal gathering for artists, designers and small business owners to connect and get inspired, within the Austin community.
I, along with Ana and Candice, founded the group at the beginning of this year.
The branding materials speak for all three of us and the goals we set out from the start. To see additional images of The Ruby identity, plus a look into our first event, click here.

04 20 12 Jump in Feet First
In November of last year I attended Feet First and Blogshop in Atlanta. It was hosted at the Goat Farm in a seriously magical space. The 3-day session was jam packed with everything from insider tips and photoshop tricks, to an actual photography session with a couple (pictured below). At the end of everyday I was on a creative high from all the experiences.
I walked away from the event with so much new knowledge to apply to my photography work plus an amazing group of friends for all over the world.
And let’s not forget the Smilebooth. Unlimited photo booth time was a big highlight at the farm. (Check out the video!)
After such a great time at the Feet First workshop, I’ve decided to jump at any chance to work with other artists that I admire. This weekend, I’m headed to San Francisco to enjoy a day with Jessica Hische at Letter Together, a whirlwind workshop where 13 folks collaborate on one full alphabet. Look for images from the trip and the alphabet we created sometime next week.
04 16 12 animated gifs make me happy
Good Monday to you! To start off the week,
I wanted to share an animated gif I made a few months ago. My boyfriend, Cameron, and I took
a trip to Marfa and the Davis Mountains, as we try to do every couple of years. West Texas is so enchanting, isn’t it? Enjoy and Go Forth!
04 09 12 FROM THE ARCHIVES / LISA SHUBIN
Lisa Shubin is a metal worker and landscaper here in Austin. She came to Viewers Like You in need of a simple system that included business cards and postcards.
For the set of cards, we chose a range of woodcut typefaces to compliment Lisa’s industrious craft.
If you like this system, check this one out, too!
