About Me

On the Subject of Me

Jason Santa Maria is a Graphic Designer living in sunny Brooklyn, NY. He serves as Creative Director for Happy Cog Studios, both in New York and Philadelphia. This status grants him access to most black-tie galas and groundbreaking ceremonies.

Someday he hopes to join the circus as the resident geek, but would settle on being a roustabout for a time. If you are looking to merely win his favor or to persuade him, he is easily won over by candied offerings. Though he is purportedly open to bartering, wild bets, and challenges involving feats of strength, Jason survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire him.

Furthermore

Jason enjoys loud music and subsequent ass-shaking. Jason nearly knows the value of a dollar, though could still be persuaded to purchase magic beans. Jason enjoys good and bad Horror and Sci-Fi movies, though prefers good, and can often be found losing the day to video games. Jason gave up eating meat on Christmas Eve of 2002, his last Feast of the Seven Fishes. Jason is once again among the ranks of the carnivores. Jason holds firm that his mother is the best cook in the time zone. Jason makes one of the best cups of coffee you are likely to have. As a possible second calling, Jason enjoys building things with his hands, and following assembly instructions. Jason is likely to beat you at Mario Kart 64. Mornings regularly find Jason getting dressed in the dark and pedaling bleary-eyed to the office. Jason has a sock monkey named Rollo who frequents his workplace, usually threatening him at staple-point to work harder.

Though he doesn't consider himself a great photographer, Jason takes an abundance of photographs. He most often uses a Nikon D70, but also employs a Leica C-LUX 2 and a Holga 120 when it strikes his fancy.

Regrets

Designer Paul Sahre has lots of lovely work on his site, but he also includes an intriguing section of regrets he has about certain projects. It’s always good to reflect on some of the difficult decisions and consolations that we have to make as designers. (via swissmiss)

R.I.P. Don LaFontaine

Don LaFontaine, THE movie trailer voice over guy, passed away over the weekend.

Nikon D90

Nikon just announced the new D90, a wonderful mid-level SLR. Looks like I might finally upgrade from my D70. Don’t miss the hands-on preview.
