Stafford.Tisdale + M15 = THE NORTH STATE

I’ve been spending the past year courting Mike Sakoonserksadee of M15 Design. It was strictly professional. We were chums for a while…then we started hooking up on projects more often. Last August we moved our offices to a studio in NoDa and began discussing the idea of getting serious.

Our vows came together over numerous Bobcats home games and, after the honeymoon in Austin, The North State Design Studio was born.

We have an exciting year lined up. Building on the national work we did in 2007 for Sub Pop Records, CitySearch and the Israel Baseball League, we are going to continue to cultivate relationships that enable us to produce our best design.

I’ve been working on this unofficial poster to promote the upcoming event in my neighborhood. Deemed “The Krawl“, the event will take place on June 14th and host 25 bands and 50 artists in various Plaza-Central businesses.

This is the 3rd event of it’s kind in the neighborhood. The last event got some interesting press. Here is what people had to say: Link.

These posters will be a run of 25 3-color screen prints and posted around town. Rip one off a telephone pole or email THE NORTH STATE if you want one.

I found this Charlotte Bobcats blog the other day and started contributing.

The Bobcats need some serious help next season. Larry Brown is a welcome addition for sure but it’s going to take a lot more to make the 2009 playoffs.

The NBA lottery is today. At least we’ll find out if we get a good number; for draft or trading material.
