I'm on the planning committee for AnniCon 2015, a free one day celebration of Asian Culture sponsored by the Public Library of Anniston and Calhoun County.

We started carrying a morph mug that changes from black to white when filled with a warm beverage so I decided to test it out with this custom design featuring the lyrics to one of my favorite Keane songs. It was just a quick composite job from several stock images but it's the first design I've made for myself in ages and it felt good. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
