Two minuets of pure design gold.
“Don’t try to be original, just try to be good”
“Originality isn’t something you decide you’re going to be, that’s the product of your brain’”
“Our business is to search for good things, not new things.”

My dear friends Nick & Ilah have officially launched their On-Site Barista Service, The Mill. I’m so tremendously proud of them. Last Saturday I brought my camera and documented my first Mill experience at the Sacramento Mid-Town Farmers Market. I was served the most divine latte with big smiles and big sunshine.
I love these two so much! Check out a sweet little interview with The Mill by SN&R just published today over here. Congrats again friends!

Two of my beloved friends got married this weekend. Words cannot express the beauty of the couple and their families uniting, it truly was a glimpse of heaven on earth. Above is the ink and watercolor illustration I created for the wedding card. Much of the imagery was inspired by the stories within Women Who Run With the Wolves written by Clarissa Pinkola Estés (a cherished book of the bride).

In hopes of sharing more of my musical process and ideas I’ve created a MeaningLess Emphasis SoundCloud. I’m giving technology a great big hug and utilizing apps on my iPod Touch (inspired by the musician Wobbly). Currently loving the wild soundscapes happening with the help of the app Loopy. For example …
I have also adopted into my family a Line6 Stompbox DL4. Which looks like this …
And makes sounds like this …
This fascination with sounds and technology was kick started by a 3 hour lecture on the history of synthesizers (notes below) provided by TCS at UC Davis followed by a performance by Wobbly.
I’ve been on one of my many documentary sprees and just watched the MOOG documentary on Netflix … but you can also find it on YouTube. This Schaefer Beer Commercial by musician Edd Kalehoff (who is also responsible for The Price is Right giggle) is hard to beat. Oddly reminds me of a David Lynch film

The sun it out, the wind is blowing and today I’m inside editing a video project that is WAY overdue. A part of researching for this project was looking up songs of the early 1900s. This clip is from the 1942 film Private Buckaroo, which will be my dinner date movie tonight (thanks to YouTube), feel free to join me, I’ll be cooking up a mean pot of quinoa. This track, You Made Me Love You, was originally written in 1913 by James V. Monaco. Happy Saturday friends.

Greetings Internet Friends,
With the start of a new year I will be taking a new approach to this blog. Instead of just showcasing what I’ve made I will be sharing more muses and inspirations (really more of what a blog should be) and let my website emilymade.me become my portfolio (emphasis on the become … it’s still very much a work in progress). This is all in hopes of taking myself as an artist more seriously.
Cheers to the future … staring now … by sharing these interviews with one of my favorite designers Paul Rand. Enjoy!
