I try to put myself in someone else’s shoes before I judge them, which begs the question; How would I feel if K-Lo painted a portrait of me standing behind a shirtless 20 year old?

For those of you with little ones and in the business of creative, check out Tiny Art Director. Each post starts with an illustration, and a creative brief given by Tiny Art Director (A dinosaur, not too scary) then the critique (He’s a ugly one! I hate those kind of dinosaurs! Where’s your eraser?) A […]

I’m listening to Rush and creating a rendering of the pool at the Ramsey Center using Cinema 4D. Nothing newsworthy about it, I just thought it was pretty dorky.

I’ve been looking forward to the game Spore for…10 years? I dunno. Seems like the news on it has been around longer than the news on Chinese Democracy. It finally comes out in September and EA is holding a celebrity spore creature contest. It’s not too exciting, but any contest between David Lynch, Curt Schilling, […]

A few days ago I bought a physical copy of The Best of Boston. The cover art is horrendous, but the songs mostly kick ass. What was bad though wasn’t the cover so much, as the back. There’s a Neptune like figure rising from the water except his head is a giant dome containing a […]

In 8th grade, a friend of mine and I turned down the volume on George Michael’s video for Monkey and turned up the volume on Master of Puppets. 20 years later, someone seems to have figured out this works very well with death metal and various tv shows.

Not sure if you guys saw this, but it’s pretty awesome. CGI girl head follows the mouse, kind of creepy. If you can’t see it, refresh a couple of times. Now when they can do this outside of a monitor, that’s when we’re in trouble.

While on the subject of custom action figures, here’s a charming custom of Hunter S. Thompson, sculpted and outfitted with rigorous detail:

First of all, sorry for the corny Contemporary Web Journalism Requires Clever Pun title.
A few things on the web truly cause my heart rate to increase. I actually feel the adrenaline effects come on, and find it hard to sit still—pretty remarkable insofar as A) I’m about as childishly and reflexively blasé as Jaded […]

LISTENING
I just went to iTunes and here’s the last five albums I’ve listened to. Bauhaus: Go Away White. Sounds like Bauhaus. TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain. Album starts off really strong and by the end gets really week. Van Halen: Van Halen I. Feel Your Love is the worst song on that […]

Dear Design Dorks:
Specifically check out the red Obama posters. Then check out the poster from WWII Britain. Same font. Same color red. Same insert of icon. Is this enough to be considered a design ripoff?

CUT THE CHATTER, RED 2: A galaxy far, far away—1.4 billion lightyears, to be precise—is conjuring up visions of the ultimate weapon in the Stars Wars universe: the planet-shattering Death Star. NASA astronomers studying the system 3C321 have spotted a jet emanating from the supermassive black hole in one galactic core (lower left pink blob) […]

Morrissey just found out that it grossed 44 million dollars this weekend, and that Fred Claus has grossed over 70 million. You would puke in your mouth too.

A few weeks ago, I think Chester posted a video of some old school tv logos (what do you call them? They aren’t station i.d.s. Tags?)
Anyway, I decided it’d be a cool little project for my next demo reel to recreate some of the less difficult ones. Here are three that I’ve done so far, […]
