Jefferson “Jeffy” Tinydog 2014-2024

Jefferson “Jeffy” Tinydog 2014-2024 In the Spring of 2010 Estelle and I moved from the house we rented to The Waldo , an upscale renovated apartment building in Downtown Cincinnati. Due to the recession and changing climate of downtown at the time, we were able to get a great rent price and live in the heart of the city. I was working at LPK Design up the street, so I was living literally 2 blocks from my job. Down the street from us was Washington Park, also recently renovated. The park had a dog area, and I told Estelle now that we lived in a spacious apartment near an awesome park, we should get a dog.   Fast forward to January 2014. I was now working as an independent designer (I was laid off from LPK in 2011). I was on site with one of my clients when I got a text message from Estelle. She sent me a picture of a dog.

My Three Quarter Career Retrospective

Hello again. As many of you may know, I have the luxury of having a pretty awesome career in design. It wasn’t always this way.

I’m not going to re-hash that topic again. I deleted my posts, and I’m done talking about it. I said I’m glad I could shrug that experience off, and I’m officially closing the topic. That said, I always had a complicated relationship with comics. I have been a fan since I was a child, and I always wanted to draw comics for a living. As I got much older, I realized that “making a living in comics” and “paying my bills and being a grown up” were two very incompatible states of exist...

New job, new post, same old blog...

That's me on the left rear during the P&G new design employee training. The tall guy to the far right is Phil Duncan, VP of Design,  Hey everyone. Long story short: I worked at LPK when I started this blog. I was let go from there and started my own branding studio. Did that for 7 years. Now I work for P&G (coming up on a year for that anniversary). My old company website is now gone. The url now points to this blog, so I guess I should start posting here again. At some point I'll migrate the older  Johnson McNair blog posts here (I know some of you liked them), but for now please stay tuned! Dave
