Who Be He?
They call him Phillip Retuta. He calls himself a visual & interactive designer, motion graphics artist, and illustrator -- an all-around artist. He's 29 years old, from Chicago, living in NYC, and has a lovely husky-lab mix named Nico. Currently employed as Senior Designer at a digital and social media firm.
What's All This Then?
Well, it's a fairly random tumblog of current and upcoming art endevours, photographs, comic sketches, creative philosophies, inspirations, and generally incomplete art projects.
So yeah, it's like a sketchbook.

Special notes to my friends.
My birthday was yesterday, and my friends took me out for dinner. I figured, what kind of party would it be if there weren’t party favors?
I baked cookies and attached thank you notes to them — each note is also a voucher for one favor or act done without question. Call it me being grateful that I have good friends.

All four of us ordered “The Heart-Stopper”: steak, poached egg, hollandaise, bacon, and crispy onion served with fries and a salad (you know, to balance all the cholesterol).
The Hindsight/Foresight Project data analysis (click here on more information about the project, or here for some of the design elements).
Here’s the data visualization/infographic that I made for my Hindsight/Foresight project. The statistics are based off each participant and give you an idea of who they are and the company I keep in my social circle.

For more insight, I moved from Chicago to New York City to get my masters at Parsons, so it’s apparent that a lot of my friends are located either in the Chicagoland area or New York and most likely have a masters degree. Also, I’m 28, so it’s only natural that a good number of my project’s participants are around my age.
