I am really interested in the media extravaganza that has ensued. I usually don’t have a lot of time to read the news…but today i’ve been unable to resist. This article in particular was of interest… “Jackson dies, almost takes Internet with him” It’s really worth a read.
Another project update. Portfolio piece.

What I find so strange about the following is that the were made about 170 years ago. These woodblock prints of Racoon Dogs (Tanuki) were produced by Utagawa Kuniyoshi in the 1840’s. It’s a long series that demonstrates all the neat things the Tanuki could do with their “voluntarily enlarged scrotums.”

Sort of fitting. I’ve got less than four weeks till I’m done with school. Plugging along and looking foward to the future… when I found this flicker page with nothing but “the end” titles from old movies. Check it out if you want to see the titles up close. Enjoy.
Another great photo series… photographer Dina Goldstein. The idea was to show a more likely “ever after” for ” “the” princess” My favorite is Jasmine. Enjoy

I started reading this article Neatorama article on the stories behind Hollywoods Studio logos for the design but I left with a renewed appreciation for the illustrators. The world, pre-computer, was an amazing place… a place i wish i could go visit.
No one paints like this anymore… it’s a refreshing contrast to the predominantly vector world we live in now.
Check it out…it’s well worth a read.
I’m partly posting this for Emily but mostly i’m posting this because they are terrifyingly close to how i feel when i’m sitting at my desk… alone… in the late hours of the night. eek. But seriously, cool photographer Joshua Hoffine has a lot more work in this series worth checking out.
saw this packaging on the Dieline this morning and felt the urge to post. I watched Shaolin Soccer last night and though I know Kung Fu masters and Samurai are totally different it still made me think of the movie. I think whats great about kung fu/samurai flicks…and this bottle, is the idea of an action happening so fast that you don’t notice until the aftermath slowly unfolds. I love this idea

I’m revisiting the Dubai logo I did 3rd quarter. Here is the original
and heres the first revision I’ve made. It’s still a work in progress but I’m hoping to achieve a higher level of sophistication in this mark. What do you think?
I tweaked the bulidings…the type and added a new line. I’m not sold on the new line …but I’m going to sleep on it. I’ll post future revisions as they come. Colors and possibly applications coming soon.
