Organizational tasks are Billy's strong suit, but - one at the time… multitasking isn't his forte! Perhaps this AZR-0 unit's passion for organization comes from the clipboard obsession he's been demonstrating in the past few weeks. (But then, who doesn't love good office supplies?!?)

A Completely Hand Written Book - Upcoming Curio & Co.'s AZR-0 Robots Journal Publication

We are in production – Curio & Co.'s AZR-0 robot book - I've been looking at the proper size for the text in the book, line heights and styles. I got to get this right otherwise the whole book will suffer…

And, YES the whole book will be hand written no typefaces will be used in the book interior.  Otherwise it wouldn't look like a journal would it!

I'm loving working on this project!

Thank You For Your Time - In Calligraphy

A quick calligraphy work from this morning.

One of the things I love most about working at Curio & Co. is that I get to do all sort of different type of work: from branding (logo design and color correcting photographs) to illustration and and calligraphy, and yes also budgeting, but hey even budgeting is fun once I figure out how to make a product within the allotted budget. I dig problem solving.  Anyways…

THANKS FOR YOU TIME
