The perfect place to go in Madison for the beer enthusiast is the Malt House. I went there for my first time last Tuesday for an AIGA event that just started in Madison called Creative Connect. Basically, we just have some beer and talk about whatever we feel like. I'm hoping to get back there again sometime soon. If you're a home brewer or just love to try different types of beer, this is the place for you. They've got plenty of selection to keep you happy. If prefer to drink only mass-produced beers, you still might like the atmosphere, but a love for quality beer is really what seems to unite everyone.

A designer's life is full of hope and anticipation. Always waiting for the next big project or the next big challenge we can take on. I have had many interesting design opportunities in 2009, most didn't make it into my portfolio but they did help me grow and mature as a designer. In 2010 it is my intention to take some risks and do all of the things that I've always said I was going to do.

Ovid Clothing - For years now, I've always wanted to start a clothing company. Or at least print some sweet t's. It's been a long time now but after a year or so of planning, it looks like Ovid Clothing has a tentative launch date of March 2010. More information will be available soon at OvidClothing.com. You should be able to sign up with your email and receive a notification when the site goes live.

AIGA Wisconsin is having their morning blend event the first Tuesday of every month in Madison, WI. In the past it has been held at the Ground Zero coffee shop on Williamson Street. For more information about this and other AIGA Wisconsin events go to http://wisconsin.aiga.org/.

This past Tuesday I got the chance to moderate the morning blend event and it was a good time. I learned a lot and got a chance to discuss topics with designers who I have a lot of respect for. Check it out!
