Hey! My name is Jory Dayne. I'm an illustrator slash interaction designer slash beekeeper working between the beautiful Beehive State and the Bay Area. I like it very much.
You may have seen my work on sites like ISO 50, Design Work Life, or Adobe's Illustrator Spotlight, or you may have seen my posters in a dank men's room at a club near you. I dunno... I get around.
Professionally, my primary interests are community stewardship, sustainable living, and social justice; my secondary, personal interests are blackletter, Hermetica, and '80s cartoons. If your project involves all six: call me, we should def be working together.
My freelance studio consists of myself, a rotating crew of talented guns, and a small, bossy dachshund named Hexl.
At the moment, I'm only available for illustration gigs, and am currently booked out until mid-June.

kind words:
“Beautiful work, and thanks for representing my home state in fine fashion. You are proof good design happens between the coasts.”
—Stephen Coles, typographic juggernaut
“From the
very first point of contact, Jory was extremely accommodating and
helpful in working through the business and creative aspects of the
project … I've
been very impressed with Jory's attention to detail and willingness to
throw ideas back and forth with me and the results have been nothing
but fantastic. ”
— Cristopher Dowling, editor & art director, printed
This is a personal website, operated by me, Jory Dayne. The opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone, and probably do not represent the views of any of my various employers. It has been in continual existence since November of 2001 — the archives have long since become closed stacks, but if you're looking for something in particular, let me know.
For this iteration, I wanted something that would allow for a cinematic image-driven experience, without sacrificing the type.

In addition to this blog, I curate a sprawling site of arcane monochromatic artwork, called The Major Arcana. So, if you're a fan of exquisite, recondite imagery, various dread sigils, and the occasional spot of kitsch, I'd suggest you check it out. You'll find all entries cited with original authorship and their corresponding source links.
And in addition to that I contribute to a Utah food blog called The Noble Beasts. It's a collective blog exploring our experiences eating locally, cooking and making, and striving to be responsible food consumers — all while trying not develop monstrous chips on our shoulders, or becoming those people. It's good fun.
a note on communication
I've made myself available via email, twitter, or by phone, so feel free to drop me a line regarding just about anything. However, I'm a big fan of signal over noise, so why don't we just keep our Facebooks and our Linkedins to ourselves?
