Well, it’s finally that time. It’s time for a vacation.

Julia and I couldn’t be more excited to be heading to Seattle in the morning. Well, we’d be more excited if we didn’t have to get up at 4am, but oh well.

I’ve always wanted to visit Seattle, but I’m especially excited about this trip, because we’ll be visiting four wonderful friends from RISD. They are all artists, and I’d like to introduce them to you. Please find links to their websites below.

Tom Deslongchamp is an animator with an amazing sense of humor. His wife, Jessica Phoenix, is an illustrator. You’ve probably bought some of the things she’s made not realizing it.

Saturday, we’ll be joined by the great craftsman and designer, Joel Wakeman. His wife, Miranda, takes all of the beautiful photographs you see on Joel’s site.

I’ll be posting another project later this week, but other than that, it will be quiet around here. If you’d like to keep up with my travels you can follow me on Twitter and/or Flickr.
