ICT WINTER BAZAAR
This weekend on Sunday the 8th is the ICT Winter Bazaar. It runs from 3-7 and it's held at Century II. Why am I promoting this event? Well because I'm going to be there peddling some of my prints and handmade wares! I'll be representing Tornado Alley Press, WSU's printmaking guild along with my fellow printers.
I've never been to this event so I have no idea what to expect. I've heard though that last year there were about 60 local vendors and this year there should be 75-100. They say it’s not going to feel at all like a convention hall but more like a party. There should be a cash bar, live music and local art. There also will be food trucks in Kennedy Plaza. Best of all, it's totally free!
So come on out, buy some dope Christmas presents and support all these fine local peeps.

INTERNATIONAL TYPE FIGHT
I've officially entered into an International Type Fight. Basically tons of other designers, art schools and people from all over the world are submitting their designs of a few letters into the arena to be voted on. Nothing is won other that the respect you get when you trounce your competition. I ended up making 3 out of the 4 we had to choose from since they were so much fun to play with. For reference, here are the original letters:
Since I don't know much, well... anything about these alphabets or the cultures behind their letters, I wanted to stay pretty true to the original letter form. I made the Hebrew letter feel like it could be on the side of a fighter jet, the Sanskrit letter I made more old world scroll-esque and the Arabic letter I went with a snake simply because that's what I saw first when I looked at it.
There might be others of mine chosen tomorrow for voting (I'll be sure to update and post about them if they are) but my Arabic snake has been chosen for the first round of votes. Vote as you please of course, but mine is the snake similar to the one above. I ended up changing the background at the last minute so what's on the type fight site is a little different than this one.
Mine for today is Arabic Round 1, Fight 4
Check it out and cast your votes!
