Production blog for the "con man love story by the people who made
Brick". Very exciting.
If you haven't seen Brick, I can't recommend it enough.

My good friends, and business partners, Bill Brown and Jessie Vogel were awarded a
fellowship grant from Wake Forest University. The three of us started
Stuffed Robot our freshman year and have been pursuing it at half steam ever since. This grant and the coming year provide us an opportunity to fully devote ourselves to the idea.
We had a big meeting last week to rethink how we want to go forward with the project, and it got me more excited than ever. I think we eliminated one of the largest creative constraints on the project, so I can't wait to see how things evolve.

About a month ago I offered up a bunch of free dinosaur prints I had made. I
finally got them all sent this weekend.
Here's where they
ended up. I hope they all arrive safe and sound. If you get one and want to send me a photo of you holding it, I won't object.
just a note: the photos of the prints look pretty bad. I hadn't looked at the actual prints in a while, and when I was putting them into the envelopes I was surprised how much better they look in person. Sorry again for the delay!

Last week I met up with friends Bill, Jessie, Meredith, and Andrew on their
Western conquests. It was a great adventure, both enlightening and inspiring, and provided an unexpected perspective to look at life from.
Guys, thanks again for letting me tag along, it was a blast. A few photos from the journey are
here.

My friend
Bill in a Redwood forest. He’s driving cross country with his girlfriend and two other friends. I’m meeting up with them tomorrow for the last week of the trip.

This is super neat. Imagine how a whole room like this would look. (via

Around the time schools start to have final exams, ever since
that thing happened, I began getting a handful of emails like this one:
Hello, my name's Florence and I live in France, in a little town near Paris. The other day, I had an oral exam in English, and a part of the exam was the analysis of an "unknown document"... which happened to be the poster you did on November 4th, 2007 "I saw the girl of my dreams..." So I analysed it and everything, and in the end I said "it's probably a fake document" and the teacher said "Actually, I think it's real..." So I checked it out for myself, and I must say I'm really impressed ! I didn't know guys still knew how to be romantic and respectful to women. Anyway, my mom's an English teacher too, and she found your poster pretty great, so she's going to give it to her pupils in class to study it...
It's very bizarre, crazy, cool to think that the story is being taught as a lesson in other countries. It's also interesting to see foreign perception's of Americans and the lessons chosen to represent the English language.
