No sleep ’til

Lots of you know this by way of Twitter or Dopplr, but in case you don’t - I moved from Dallas to Brooklyn last week.

Please get a load of this supercool graffiti from around my block (snapped with my phone, because I don’t own a legitimate camera):

…and this last one isn’t really graffiti, but either way, I appreciate where the building’s heart is:

It’s easy to be inspired here. I like it a lot.

Science Machine: The Illustration Process

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.

Max-o-matic

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

Type is certainly where it’s at

I’d like to introduce you to a designer I’ve been lucky enough to work with on some recent projects. Meet Charlie Trotter, from the design studio Type is where it’s at.™

Charlie’s work includes some fantastic illustration, identity design, print, and soon-to-be-showcased web design work that is near and dear to our heart. Plus, his portfolio is pretty innovative itself in its presentation style.

And finally, Tiwia™, as it’s referred to on the street, has a brand new blog that rocks my face right off my head. My favorite post to date co-stars Emmanuel Lewis (aka Webster) in a Baby Bjorn. Read it and your day will be better.
