Rechelle Malin is a folk singer, songwriter, author, blogger, mother, the wife of a country doctor, and most recently, a horticulturist.

This is a brand new poster for the upcoming KU Dance Company concert on April 17 and 18, 2008. The performances are part of the celebration of KU alumna and professor of dance Elizabeth Sherbon in conjunction with Murphy Hall’s 50th Anniversary. It should be a wonderful concert! Visit the Murphy 50th website for more information on Elizabeth Sherbon and all of the 50th Anniversary events.

The KU Wind Ensemble is the premier wind band at the University of Kansas. This is the poster for their upcoming concert on Feb. 14th, 2008 which should be a great one! It’s at the Lied Center on the KU campus and if you’re looking for a Valentine’s date idea . . .

This is a new logo I’ve designed for Struct/restruct Associates which is a local design, renovation, construction, woodworking and building firm located in Lawrence, KS. They also specialize in historic renovations and masonry. AND, they offer unique, local reclaimed lumber in their projects which is a great way to recycle old lumber that is perfectly usable. They mill the wood and everything! Congratulations to Josh and Matt for getting this venture underway!

For those out there in iPhone and mobile browser land, the DESIGNOJEK blog is now iPhone accessible and has a special format when viewed on a small screen. Give it a try! Also, if you make a web clip on your iPhone, there’s a special icon for that, too.

While I’m on a roll, I’ll just get the geek out of my system now:

• - Recycled CD sleeves
• - Cool iPhone emulator - good for website testing

Since the holidays are swiftly approaching, I thought I’d put up a project I recently finished for the Lawrence Chamber Orchestra. They have a holiday concert every year that raises funds to help keep the orchestra going. The best part about this year’s concert is that it features members of my family! If you can make it, the concert is this coming Sunday, Dec. 23rd at 2:00 p.m.
