From illustrator Chad Pugh’s Vimeo page:
This piece inspired the login illustration that vimeo commissioned from me for their redesign earlier this year; it is still in use throughout the site. The video is a condensed time lapse of screenshots over a several month period. Total physical drawing time is close to 40 hours and I’d add an equal amount of time for concept time and readying the print. A screenshot was taken every 5 seconds, which actually results in a full 18 minute video. I’ll upload that for posterity later.
Incredible. Check out more of Chad Pugh’s work at thebigpugh.com.
Thanks to Charlie Trotter , who I can always count on for quality stop-motion, for the link.

I’m completely enthralled by the work of Barcelona-based graphic designer Máximo Tuja, aka max-o-matic.

Skinnycorp, the brains behind Threadless, has the best business model on the planet.
Last month,
Brian Oberkirch wrote about their presentation at
CommunityNext:
Here’s a metric I can get behind: this slide clearly tracks the growth of SkinnyCorp over the last 7 years as they moved the needle from sorta awesome to crazy awesome.
He also makes sure to address the ROI-monkeys who only think in decimals and dollar signs:
If you think they were just the feelgood entertaining crazy kids with the tats and the rock and roll, they were probably the only presenters whose businesses are self-funded and doing upwards of $20 million a year in revenue.
Today, ExperienceCurve linked to their CommunityNext presentation on How to Create Online Awesomeness:

Maybe I’m a hippy, but business needs more love. And Awesomeness.
