At the end of last semester our last visiting artist Mike Perry came for a long weekend to lead us in our first independently published project. We decided on the theme of Science. What resulted was a 36-page, tabloid format zine print in 3 beautiful colors.

Sexy Librarian is a novel designed by Kristian Bjornard in the GD MFA Studio. We published the novel as a case study for our forthcoming book Indie Publishing: How to Design and Produce Your Own Book. Written by writer, artist, and librarian Julia Weist, the novel is now available on Amazon.com. You can learn more about how the novel was created at SexyLibrarianNovel.com.
Joe, Tony and Ryan received greetings from the small island nation of Mauritius from our friend Michéle who we met at the Option Shift Control conference at North Carolina State University. Thanks Michéle for the lovely postcard. We can’t wait to visit.

The web site for our book Graphic Design: The New Basics is live. Special thanks to Viviana Cordova for designing and building the site with Ellen, and to Yeohyun Ahn for the wicked interactive logo. The book, which features work by dozens of MICA students and faculty, debuts at MICA on Thursday, May 1, with a smashing party in the Leidy Auditorium, Brown Center. And it all started right here in the GD MFA studio.
Here’s a gorgeous group shot of us with Laurie, and our work!
