Today is the day! Ampersanniversary #1

The day has arrived! It’s the first anniversary of my ampersand logo, and 1-year of business as a freelance graphic designer in Calgary.

To celebrate, I’m giving away some book-ends to a lucky person. All you have to do is re-tweet this tweet (if you’re on the Twitter), or “like” the Ampersanniversary post on Facebook. You are free to do so until I get into the office on Monday morning, which is when I’ll pick a winner.

I built the book-ends with my bare hands out of the tip & tail of one of my old skateboard decks. Then I wood-burned “Instant Classics & Greatest Hits” along with some icons from some of my favorite books. I’m really happy with how they turned out.

Thanks to everyone for their support, and good luck!

Ampersanniversary

This Friday marks the 1-year anniversary of my CP ampersand logo, and 1-year of business as a freelance maker-of-stuff. I like to take every opportunity to celebrate, so I’ve decided to give away some presents. I won’t say much, except that the gifts will be sweet. The gifts will be homemade. The gifts have something to do with ampersands. You can win a gift. I’m excited.

See you on Friday.
