Three Frames

three frames is so surreal. These movies seem totally different to me this way.

Information Aesthetics

Infosthetics is a cool blog showcasing information graphics used in various sources: news websites, magazines, conferences, etc. These artists have implemented so many great little ideas to convey information. I love this stuff.

I made something!

It's a calendar!

Mind Game

One of my favorite movies.

Working on a thing!

Ho-la Ho-la Ho-la

Parra is an illustrator/designer from Amsterdam. Most of his work is done for his own band, Parra Soundsystem, and his clothing label, Rockwell.

I love the cases he made for ipods and Macbook Pro. So awesome.

His artwork is great. People like him and So-Me are like a revival of Peter Max and Push Pin Studios. Rounded shapes in bright colors. In other words MY FAVORITE THING EVER. His absurd character design looks best when it's animated.

Unicorns and lasers

I just came across this freelance illustrator from Finland named Sakke Soini. He says his retro-futuristic album cover style is inspired by old-school sci-fi (Tron for example). The laser effects are so 80s, it's fantastic. I wish Guitar Hero/Rock Band looked like the scales shooting out of that tiger's mouth.

Sakke Soini

Amazing song.

For billions of years since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors survived
Every single person on your mum and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed on to you life.
What are the chances of that, like?
It comes to me once in a while
And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile.

Probably the best drawing I've ever done

"Meow" is right!

Design Inspiration: Threadless

Threadless is an online apparel store that lets users submit designs, which are then voted on by other users for a chance to be printed and sold on the website. It's a great opportunity to promote personal work you're proud of!

I did this once several years ago—I didn't win (in hindsight they weren't my best designs), but it was interesting!

Design Inspiration: Jauna Gaita

Jauna Gaita is a Canadian-Latvian literature magazine that celebrated its 53rd birthday last year. The covers are varied in their concepts but they're all tied together by the simplicity and usage of the magazine logo (sans any other text other than the issue number). A lot of this stuff is very Paul Rand. I love it.

You can look at all of their covers on their website.
