Last week I took advantage of one of the cultural and intellectual landmarks just outside my doorstep and made a visit to the CCS Galleries at Bard College. The subject matter: a retrospective of the unexpectedly graphic art of the German-born abstract painter self-nicknamed Blinky Palermo.

Yesterday I tuned into my first webinar with Frank Chimero, a designer and illustrator who makes pictures about words and words about pictures. His 60-min talk Versus: A documentation of wrungniss & misatkes got me thinking about design, purpose, and the galaxy.

The new year brings in a fresh collaborative effort for Emerald Interaction, who has joined forces with Olot-based graphic design studio and print shop The Graphic room to publish a new website for the cultural youth card Cooltura Jove.

This week marks the beginning of a new life for Olot’s hometown TV station on the web. I’m pleased to announce that we’ve thrown all “under construction” signs to the wind and OLOT.TV has officially gone live!

This summer the Patriot Pole Vault Club went vaulting in style with a t-shirt that celebrated 10 years of club history. Emerald Interaction designed the logo that’s featured on the T.
