ICONIC

I've been wanting for a while to create some sort of icon suite to use in places like my Instagram but I'm at best a middling designer and at nearly-always a bad one.

But! (and this is an excited but), I know a few uncommon designers. One such extraordinary talent is Miranda Hebert, founder and CEO of Earth to Miranda, a small start-up with a big mission: to end human-caused extinction. I urge everyone to follow and support her work. I wouldn't bet against her.

I love what she did here so let's talk a bit about the designs!

THE ICONS

POETRY: THE QUILL
Pretty straightforward. I still believe in the romance of pen and paper thought, creativity, etc. written by the waning light of a candle. Every poem I write starts out in a notebook, scribbled, scratched, stained and frankly bad at first blush.

PLAYS: THE GHOSTLIGHT
Theatre person? Then you probably get it. Plays are mortal. No two performances are alike. They live and breathe for a two or three-hours traffic of a stage and then are gone. There are ghosts there, and I love the tradition of the theatre ghostlight.

COMICS: KAPOW
This past year, I've had the great pleasure of collaborating with Harold Richter, founder and creative lead at Rogue Wave Comics, an independent comic book publisher in Germany doing big and interesting things. I can't wait for what's coming next in this space.

PUBLICATIONS: READ ALL ABOUT IT
This particular design speaks to me in a big way. It's the simplicity of the ambition to be published... at least at first. After doing it long enough, you begin to realize that nothing in the pursuit, when done well, is at all simple. That's the fun of it. The fight's not worth it if you won't get it. 
I can't thank Miranda enough for her work here. She gets me, both who I am and what I do. And that's rare. I had a good friend tell me that my work helped her see something she wouldn't have seen on her own. That's what Miranda does too, only with visual art.  

She's excellent.
