Ok, I’ve typed this 3 times now. I think this is a fantastic photo. I love the color and the composition. It reminds me a little of how our photos look now that we’re using an old skool film based camera.

You know how I like my artwork messay. Russ Mills can have all of my money in return for prints of his stuff. That is as soon as I have some that is expendable. Oh, and if the woman approves…

Wow check out this amazing typography by Alex Trochut. I love how creative it is. I seriously can’t get over the intricacy. I can’t say enough.

If you’re looking for some great photography by some local Arizona photographers look no further.
Thom and Kat Varga, took some great photographs of the wildflowers in Arizona. They’ve really captured the beauty of the Southwest that a lot of folks don’t know about. I think most people associate the Southwest ...

I love the artwork of David Sheirer. First, I’m a big fan of watercolor as it is my preferred medium. Second, I dig randomness. Why paint a teabag or a toy truck filled with Newcastle bottle caps? Who knows.
He really captures the mundane. Average bits of life like a handful ...

I love this font. With its roundy goodness it’s happy and fun but still modern. This font could be a timeless one. It’s a little borderline though, a little on par with the web 2.0 fonts of yore–Arial Rounded being the major culprit. And although it doesn’t look a thing ...

This video takes me back to my childhood. It’s a new tune by Justice and a fantastic typographic time warp! I think they’ve pretty much covered every major type treatment that the mainstream media of the 80’s had to offer. Even down to the shiny gold 3-d ...

Now that’s just clever. Not only were they able to create storage for all those books, but they also created a little loft at the the top that’s perfect for reading. It goes to show you that the best designs are those that have the most functionality in the most ...

I love messy artwork. Ric Stultz is no exception. His messes are amazingly composed–it’s as if every splatter and every drip are perfectly placed. Some of them are funny, with VHS tapes mourning their demise, or classic Nintendo controllers getting upset. Some of them are a little out there but ...

Gianluca has a really interesting style. It’s vector based illustration plus a touch of the eighties. I will call it IlloTron. I couldn’t really capture all the variation in his style in just a couple of images. He’s got some very lush, glamorous work, he also covers standard illustration styles, ...

City Shrinker creates beautiful tiltshift images that make you feel like you’re looking at little tiny models of everyday things. For them it actually is a small world.

I’m still on the lookout for creative furnishings for the house. The problem is finding something that both Mary and I will like. I tend to prefer the more modern stuff, like this chair and ottoman made out of luggage. I get the feeling that she’s not going to like ...

Here we are, the second week of 2008 and everyone in our household is sick. We’ve got all the classic symptoms:
Runny noses
Congestion
Sneezing
Extra limbs
Scratchy throat
Extraneous antennae
Coughing
Foaming at the mouth
You know, the typical stuff. Kids get colds a bunch and there’s no cure for the darn things. The best you can ...

The craftsmanship of this oak bench is incredible, but seriously, can you image what the plans for it must look like? I can barely manage to square up a couple of 2×4s.
I love how it captures the randomness of human interaction. On the other hand, it's static. I think ...

What a cool idea to put a picket fence up around your baseboards! It hides all your cords and looks really fun too. This would be really easy to do on your own. I definitely think that the yellow walls really make it though.
In looking to solve the problem of ...

I have to admit that I really dig cartoons. I love the big bold lines and colors. I especially love a few cartoons, most of which were on the Cartoon Network although Disney has managed to produce one or two good ones. Since most of their artists are actually employees ...

DuPont asked 40 international designers to create a genuinely functional object - a table or desktop accessory - that reflects the ingenuity of the designers as well as the design possibilities of Corian. NKD was one of 40 designers worldwide.
This is a fun little spin on a calendar. I’d say ...

This is a beautiful chair by Andrew Raible, featured in New York Times. I love the clean lines and solid wood.

Orange UK has this really interesting ad campaign with rainbows and 70’s style drawings, and of course, the color orange. Lots of orange. I guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t the color magenta, or T-Mobil would have probably sued them. What kind of crazy society do we live in ...

This is some really nice looking typography by GoMedia. It’s hard to read but it sure is pretty! I would love to have a tattoo of my last name emblazoned across my back in this style. Some of their other work is really nice as well. Check it out.
