Core Curriculum

Overview | Boston University's Core Curriculum was "a great-books style sequence of courses interweav[ing] the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences into a single structured curriculum," and, during my two years in Core, I became very involved in the program. In addition to serving as a editor of the Core Journal, I also did designwork, including two Core t-shirt designs. The picture above, a collage of all things Core from robots to Leviathans, was designed as a poster for for the Core Journal, but the Dean was such a fan it became the 2004 Core T-shirt design. (The prophet and sybil reading atop the column of Core was designed after as a result, and it's one of my favorite doodles ever.)

Rhett the Terrier, BU Mascot to the World

Overview | During my four years at Boston University, I had a couple chances to try my hand at various designs for Rhett, the school mascot. Some were Core related, some were random favors for friends, while others involved Rhett smoking cigars or being drawn with charcoal on common room walls...

Shakespeare Society

Overview | After several friends started up a Shakespeare Society at BU, I ended up getting drafted to design a number of playbills and show posters. From Measure for Measure to Love's Labour's Lost, I was able to craft a number of different pieces of designwork. Alas, time (and being almost exclusively in black & white) shows vividly my limitations as a character artist. Still, long after all my friends had abandoned BUSS for other pursuits, I was still designing stuff for a whole new generation of BU Bard afficionados.

South Campus Residence Hall Association

Overview | On the advice of some friends, I ran for ::gasps:: political office for my local residence hall as a junior. BU's South Campus is a pretty disconnected group of quaint brownstown buildings, so serving on the Residence Hall Association was really just an excuse to eat free food, lobby for common room soaps, and, obviously, design a bunch of flyers for campus events.
