  • (Not A) Extra Normal Watch

    Recently I bought a new watch. The Extra Normal Watch from Ross McBride is a very nice timepiece that is deceptively understated.

  • Patrick Everson Business Cards Front Back

    My Business Card On The Internet!

    I got an email a few days ago from Jessica Smith at Gilah Press. I had my business cards printed there and they wanted my approval to use the cards in a online article they were writing. “Of course!” I said and today they forwarded me the link. My card is the fourth one down,…

    The Meatball Express

    In a previous post I teased a big personal project I have been working on for a while now. I am happy to report that my debut project as a children’s book illustrator is now complete and available for purchase! The Meatball Express is a story written by my grandfather. It evolved as a bedtime…

    Ad Club Showcase 2011

    All the biggest DC ad agencies walk into a room, then they talk about their work. Sounds like a terrible joke, but a great idea for anyone interested in advertising in DC. Just got back home from the first annual Best of DC Showcase hosted by AdClubDC. 10 of some of the best agencies in…

    Train Approaching Final Destination

    So just what have I been up to lately? Figured it was about time to give a preview of a big new project I have been working on. It’s something very different for me, but the whole process has just been so much fun. What am I talking about? My first children’s book of course!…

They welcomed 10 lucky participants into their cozy Georgetown home for a tour of his studio, some snacks, and a great discussion on design process and stories from Pat’s long career in design.

    I Got A Brand New Bag

    Last night I went down to the Art Institute to attend the AIGA Design Week DC Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag event, hosted by Ellen Lupton. Everyone was issued a canvas bag and given access to a bunch of art supplies. We had a little over an hour to make our own bag and…

  • 1001 Miles

    1001 Biking Days

    Just yesterday I watched the numbers roll over into four digits on my Runkeeper account. I always knew I did a lot of miles during the summer on my bike but actually seeing the stats is a whole different thing. Over 54,000 calories and counting! I still got plenty of time to go before the…

  • 2009 Change Blurb Book Cover

    First In A Series

    This book 2009: Change is the start of a, hopefully, long running series that will catalog my life through photography.  I am often behind a camera lens on many trips and at events. I publish many photos into facebook albums, but I have never been satisfied by tagged photos in a digital album. I really…

    Bike To Work Day 2011

    Today was bike to work day and I decided, despite the afternoon rain forecasts, that I would peddle my way to work. It was a beautiful ride!
