Brian Collins, Lee Maschmeyer and Matt Luckhurst designed this identity for the One Club in 2011. Creative Week New York is sanctioned by the mayor as the official week of creativity in New York. The logo is inspired by street signs in New York, its stacked nature is to represent New York as the hub of many crossroads and the color and pattern reflect the energy and noise of the city.

“Identity is what makes me who I am, as opposed to some other person. In the seventeenth century, English philosopher John Locke suggested a series of thought experiments that involved transplanting certain parts of the self, to find out what essentially defines us: Suppose that your next-door neighbor were in your body, and you were in hers. You suddenly had short blond hair, for example, and broad hips. Would you still be you? If so, then your body is not essential to your personal identity.
Now suppose that your characters were transposed. You took a lover and lied about it, or started going to church, neither of which is like you. Would you then be a different person? I don’t think so. You’d be the same person, acting in strange new ways.
But now suppose that your memories were transposed with your neighbor’s. You thought of your neighbor’s children as your own and remembered the day they were born and how that felt. They were asleep in maple beds that you remembered inheriting from your mother. At that point, I think, you would have become someone else.
So, to a certain extent, it’s your memories that make us who we are. For example, I am the person who remembers seeing a flock of white pelicans over Thompson Lake and the apple tree in the backyard of my house. And every time I notice something, every time something strikes me as important enough to store away in my memory, I add another piece to who I am. These memories and sense impressions of the landscape are the very substance of my self. In this way, I am – at the core of my being – made of the earth.”

- from an interview with Kathleen Dean Moore.

Human Animal.

I’ve been using this as my logo and also realized today how heavily influenced I’ve been by the Lion King.

I painted a couple of rebels for gouache demos in Alex Fine and Greg Houston’s illustration classes. These guys are kind of evil…kinda got a devilish lean to em…the rebels too! (badum chh) (sorry)

I’m always amazed that anything I have to share in demos with classes are things students will appreciate and be able to use, but it’s always great. So long as I’m not going off on too many random rants about dumb things then I just hope I’m imparting some tips, and it’s a pretty good time.

So psyched to be in the Lady Knights//Women Warriors zine, all the contributions look RAD. Thanks to Abby, Julia, and Roxie for putting it all together—they’ll be selling at MoCCA!

I’ve always had a thing for mysterious heroes, and my recent love affair with motorcycle ladies continues. (this one is a bosozoku bike!) When I was asked to be in the zine, I was already thinking about making a book of my own women warriors…I’m even more excited now, so we’ll see!
