New website design for jaredmillar.com

I have newly redesigned and uploaded the website for Jared Millar Design.

The new site has a clean, minimalist look, with links to my graphic design portfolio, bio, contact information, and (should anyone be intrigued enough) my poetry collection Selected Spam (still available via amazon.com, hint hint).

Do you have any design projects of your own that you need taken care of? I'd be happy to give a quote.

Drop on by, take a look around and let us know what you think.

Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!

Ach komm! ich wart auf dich,
Komm bald und führe mich,
Drück mir die Augen zu.
Komm, selge Ruh!

Dream Journal

A dream: I am splayed out on the cab of an SUV perched at the top of the Chrysler Building; my cell phone slides one way, my briefcase slides another; my pocked change rolls across the windshield. The vehicle teeters back and forth. The wind tears through me and all seems lost.

Pontiac R.I.P.

Helen Levitt R.I.P.

John Updike R.I.P.

Patrick McGoohan R.I.P.

The Prisoner

Ricardo Montalbán R.I.P.

The Owl and the Sparrow (2007)

Happy New Year

Next year will be better.

The Party (1968)

Bay Theater, Seal Beach, Calif.
Peter Sellers in brown-face as a Bollywood actor at a swinging Hollywood party. There really is no plot, but the house is pretty great. And it ends in a foam party.

Robert Graham R.I.P.

Figurative sculptor, Venice, Calif.

My Man Godfrey (1936) + His Girl Friday (1940)

Aero Theater, Santa Monica, Calif.
Throughout the 1930s and '40s, William Powell was famous as detective Nick Charles in the light-hearted "Thin Man" series of films; here he plays a "forgotten man," a victim of the Depression, in a classic screwball comedy that was nominated for six Academy Awards (and won none). Part of the Aero Theatre's Screwball Comedy Holidays.
