janine and the team at uppercase have been hard at work on the design for the upcoming Winter issue of the UPPERCASE magazine and the final files will be sent to the printer by the first week of January! uppercase and i will be keeping you updated about the expected ship date to uppercase subscribers — by the way, have you subscribed? it really is one of the most well-produced design magazines i’ve seen, from everything to the lovely, uncoated paper quaility and perfect-bound bindery, to the gorgeous photography and great story content. i really am, with out a doubt, quite proud to write for, and be any part of uppercase.

this sneak preview looks fantastic, and check out the beautiful cover illustration from artist Leigh Wells! i’m pretty excited to share my story about the founders stu & janet of three potato four in this winter issue, as well as read other contributing uppercase writers’ pieces, like the piece from christine chitnis of lavender & lime’s story, with photos by andrea jenkins of hula seventy, about their shared experience at the fabulous camp for grownups, the squam art retreat. i think you’ll love uppercase!

Uppercase – Issue Three is finally out, and I am very excited that it includes an interview by me with mexico-city based artist Geninne Zlatkis. I’ll now be an on-going contributing writer at Uppercase, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m all ready hard at work on my next piece for Uppercase, and I think you’re going to be excited to see who this next story is about! In the meantime, check out the wonderful interview with Geninne — we had a blast putting it together — as well as many other great contributions from Andrea Jenkins of Hula Seventy, and artist Sandra Juto and a beavy of other talented contributors.
