"Homeland"

We're big fans of the TV show Homeland round these parts. Designer Ty Mattson created these pitch-perfect Homeland-inspired vintage record covers. They have that 60s-Cuban-Missile-Crisis-jazz-tension feel.

MOOD

MOOD is a brand new online magazine by Brussels-based designer and friend, Emma Hovel, and her boyfriend Mario Villar. Their concept is a magazine that finds the intersection where food and music meet, and then take great photos. Emma kindly asked me to contribute with a recipe from my mom. We even had a little photo shoot! Check out the full issue of MOOD here and learn how to make our recipe for Warm Goat Cheese and Beet Salad.

I'm loving The Shins' new album, Port of Morrow, so I made this little 

poster for the one time I saw them in concert.

Polica is a Minneapolis group making some serious waves in the local music scene. 

Their first album, Give You the Ghost, is sexy, moody and gorgeous.

new job!

I am overjoyed to report that I finally found full time work! I'll be doing student services at MacPhail Center for Music in downtown Minneapolis in their lovely building near the river. This has been a long time coming and I'm quite relieved. Now I can move forward with my life and do more of the things I love, rather than stress over finding work. Yay for employment!
