DANIEL BLUE: MEET GLEN WEIMAN >>>

Glen Weiman and I met several years ago at a mutual friend's house in Federal Way. Newly married, Glen and his wife, Holly, have purchased a cute home on South G Street right here in the heart of downtown Tacoma.

He is currently employed at Rusty George Creative and is a member of the sustainability and community activism group called Local Life Tacoma. I have worked with Glen on a few projects in the arena of freelance graphic design. He created the artwork that hung over the farmers market on the banners that dictated a poem about the beauty of farm fresh food. His work is precise and approachable. If you add that to the gentle and good-natured attitude he brings to the table, you have yourself an extremely hirable designer. Don't expect RJC to release him from their iron grip (rusty as it may be) anytime soon.

As we age, Glen and I have discussed the trappings of the American way. Long hours, big bills, swelling thighs - ahh -  to be comfortable in one's own backyard simply has failed to satisfy. Glen is looking for another path. The path of a being that needs to know that the world is well, even outside of his yard, even outside of his block.
