Happy holidays, lunchboxbrainiacs. I hope your year was packed with fulfilling, challenging and rewarding ventures. 2019 was a great spin around the sun – I made lots and lots of things that brought me (and hopefully many of you!) so much joy. I had 20+ shirts printed at Shirt.Woot, released some new instrumental music and helped AIGA Upstate New York crew celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Here are 19 other things that made 2019 a great year:
- The launch of Tyler Finck’s incredible Upstate Design Community directory.
- This awesome set of NFL draft posters designed and printed by Hatch Show Print.
- Adobe Create’s round-up of public domain images.
- A truly magical trip to Disney with my wife and kids.
- Albany Empire’s championship season.
- Watching 2x Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning get a well-deserved final ovation.
- A majestic new album from the mighty Pete Rock.
- The hilarity of Paul Rudd on Hot Ones.
- Attending AIGA Upstate New York’s Creative Brew conference.
- Enjoying many tasty beverages from my own custom-made LBB drinkware.
- Dipping my toes into the motion graphics pool!
- Andy J. Pizza’s Creative Pep Talk podcast. ESPECIALLY this interview with Lisa Congdon.
- The delightful adventures of Detective Pikachu.
- Becoming a godfather!
- Dancing with this lovely gal.
- SNL’s Graphics Department skit.
- The honktastic chaos of Untitled Goose Game.
- Discovering Johnny Sampson’s Creative Differences comic.

See you next year!
