Small picture in Alaska Airlines magazine

By Mark Bult | Published: November 12, 2009

One of my pictures is featured in this month’s Alaska Airlines Magazine alongside a blurb about Save the Redwood League’s Plant a Redwood Seedling program. It was part of the magazine’s Holiday Gift Guide, in the section about cause-related gifts. It’s just a tiny picture, but it’s one of my favorites, so I’m glad they […]

What I’ve been up to (non-list edition)

By Mark Bult | Published: July 23, 2009

I mentioned in April that I’d taken on some new contract work, and that was slowing the progress of redesigning enews.org. In May and June I started applying for full-time gigs again, despite the fact that the new portfolio was only about 80% done. I had a couple interviews but none that were a spectacular […]

Logos designed by Mark Bult, 1986–2008

By Mark Bult | Published: August 9, 2008

I think this logo for the Palo Alto Golf Course might have been the first logo I ever designed. At least, it’s the first one that I actually still like enough that I keep it in my portfolio. I still consider it one of my best. I made it around 1986 or so. I was […]
