This summer we have two new faces in the studio.

Jason Bishop – fellow Brooklynite and one of our long-time buddies via Richmond, VA punk rock (think Avail, Action Patrol era) – will be spending the summer with us. Jason is currently an MFA Designer as Author candidate at the School of Visual Arts. Prior to going back to school, Jason was working in NYC doing primarily web design/development for clients such as nytimes.com and Cornell University. Now he’s expanding his skill sets to include to motion and traditional print design.

Dylan Mulvaney is entering his fourth and final year of study earning a BFA in graphic design in Iowa State University’s College of Design. Dylan is interested in the intersection of digital and traditional tools of production within graphic design; meaning, he likes to get his hands dirty. This summer he’ll be bouncing back and forth between here and our friends at Rad Mountain. In the fall he will be studying in Rome’s Piazza delle Cinque Scole, getting knee deep in contemporary European design culture. After graduating in May 2009, Dylan plans to locate to NYC proper.

The addition of Jason and Dylan required an Athletics expansion: birch-top desk #10.

We like building our own desks. And it’s always nice to visit “the nicest guys in the world” at Meserole Lumber.
