Jennifer Daniel might be the funniest person on the internet and was recently awarded as one of this year’s JDC Young Guns. We’re all big fans of her work and ability to be ridiculous in all aspects of life. Hope you enjoy what she has to share!
If you are too lazy to read, at the bottom we’ve got a 3d animated version of the interview that is quite entertaining as well.
Continuing with our lunchtime interviews we get to hear from the busiest and most enthusiastic maker I know, Kate Bingaman-Burt! She has played a crucial role in the development of design students around the country , including myself. Kate endlessly injects her personality and contagious attitude into whatever she does. Check out what she has to say about Stephen Malkmus and her love for typography.
Michael Eades is the Nashville gentleman behind one of our favorite blogs, Yewknee. Michael is web designer at KNI, has wondrous facial hair, and is an all around awesome guy. We’re excited to launch our new interview series with Mr. Yewknee, so pull up a chair at the cool table and see what he has to say (including a long list of new music).
Say howdy to our friend Roberto Ainslie. He’s one of Casey’s childhood friends, and someone we’ve all spent a lot of time with in the last couple of years. A little known fact is that before our old studio was transformed in to PUBLIC SCHOOL, it was a gallery called Gallery 1906, which Roberto curated. He hosted many great shows including Matt Rainwater’s Untitled Bat Study and the work of Christa Palazzolo. Though he shut the gallery down to focus on teaching, he has come full circle and is going back to grad school for curatorial studies.
Recently along with Jessica Olsen, we enlisted his curating help on the PUBLIC SCHOOL blog. Additionally, to satisfy his art habit, Roberto started the Tokyo Blues blog which you should check out.
Though this is the side of Roberto that most of you will encounter through the blog, its his overall personality that we dig. He’s sort of an unofficial PSchooler as you can generally find him upstairs at our studio throughout the week. He comes up to hang in the lounge and dole out advice on the random happenings of the studio or discussing why Tim Tebow should have gone higher lower in the NFL draft. He’s one of our favorite visitors and all around favorite dudes. We’re proud to consider him part of the extended family and proud to have him call PUBLIC SCHOOL his home away from home.
Say howdy to Jessica Olsen, someone who has become a familiar face at our studio as of late. Describing her as an intern wouldn’t really be doing her justice though, so I won’t do that. Instead I’ll say that she asked us to teach her some stuff and in turn she’d help us out on some of our projects. She’s turned in to our go-to girl for helping grease the wheels of PUBLIC SCHOOL. With all of us having our own businesses to manage, she has been the glue holding the studio together over the last couple of months.
Jessica has and will be helping out with the blogging responsibilities as well as the (soon to be) relaunching of our brand spankin’ new School Supplies site. She has a blog of her own called LittleVerses which you should read. There’s plenty of good content, including a couple of things I might rip off (and of course, credit) for this blog when I’m done writing this.
Aside from the blogging and online stuff, she has become our unofficial producer for many of the projects we’re working on together here. She’s been a huge help on the book we’re producing for Chronicle Books, as well as some of the shows and workshops Will has been working on. It’s becoming increasingly common to ask when Jessica is “coming in” because she has helped us tackle a lot. Basically my point is that we started seeing her a little bit and now she’s family. Now that she’s blogging and her presence is known, I’m sure you’ll feel the same way soon as well.
