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.

Visit The North State.

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.

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.

If you watch the TODAY show and live in Charlotte you’ve probably heard this catchy jingle during your morning cup of joe. This commercial must have infiltrated my subconscious because what did I do when my AC unit went on the fritz? That’s right…I picked up that damn phone and Called Adams.I must say, those Adams people (Adams Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. specifically), do a pretty good job. When my old air conditioner cranked up it sounded like a jack hammer. My new one is silent…plus I have a sweet new touch screen thermostat; it’s like the iPhone of the heating and cooling world.Overall, I’m pretty happy with the result.

As a side note, that funky little diddy in the commercial was produced by my friends at CHP Audio in Charlotte.

i had never heard of this place…burritos and smoothies in one place seems like a stretch. I love the logotype though.

I’ve got to hand it to this guy for representing the hornets 5 years after they left.

I had to make a couple copies at the Plaza-Midwood post office and I came across this little diagram. My copy came out landscape legal.
