BR4DSH4W

When I was 4 years old, my mother sat me down with a Chinese brush painting kit. And while many other children might have painted a face, truck, or dinosaur... I drew a number 4. This is my first memory of passion for typography, art, and more specifically graphic design.

BR4DSH4W is dedicated to inspiration that stems from that moment.

DI4LOGUE: 4 Questions for My Rockstar

  • BR4DSH4W: WHAT ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH?
  • As the quote goes, "most men lead lives of quiet desperation." I'm impressed when people take action to bring them out of that mode. People who are "naturals" at their trade or craft. Our President.
  • BR4DSH4W: WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
  • Kids, for their total lack of fear, sense of wonder and propensity to always ask "why." We should be doing more of that as grown-ups.
  • BR4DSH4W: WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
  • Proton Radio on iTunes. Earlier in the car it was an "all NIN" playlist, and while working it's usually Secret Agent radio. All that lazy, swingy, Henry Mancini stuff is brilliant. Going to go set up a Mancini station on Pandora... brb.
  • BR4DSH4W: HOW DO YOU LIKE TO BEGIN?
  • "Three, four!" because counting the band off with "one, two, three, four" takes too long. For the work day, it's coffee, a light breakfast, music and the right lighting. When meeting people, I like to repeat the person's name back to them, to help me remember their name later. It sometimes works. 35 minutes of cardio at the gym.
  • ....
  • BIOGR4PHY: Charles Hunt is a musician, coder, traveler, and dreamer. Despite being such a level-headed guy, he has lived a rockstar lifestyle most of us can only fantasize about. And yet whenever I get stuck in a rut, he is the first person I call for a sanity check.
