Including children
I like to go dancing semi-regularly and sometimes I feel like this when dancing: No, I’m not THAT tall, but this is exactly why I don’t wear higher heels when I dance— not because they’re uncomfortable (they’re not, generally) but because the “average” height for men in America includes children, apparently. (And yes, like the…

Storm Reporting
Hey Baltimore, MD and East Coast– We made the news (not surprisingly) in Sweden: View on SVT’s site, just in case View on SVT’s Site Schysst!

Industrial Revolutions
After what feels like the last eight months of obsessing a bit too much about work, sometimes it’s hard to remember just how to make yourself smile. Tonight, catching up on literally thousands of unread articles I found this beautiful short of Danny MacAskill exploring an old ironworks. Gorgeous, inspiring and a genuine delight to…

Lie to Me
Ok, not really… but it IS a good song… This is pretty much what the inside of my head sounds like heading to work in the morning…

Logos Galore
Lately, I’ve found myself attending a lot of networking events and meetings; not surprisingly, one of the results is many conversations about the design services I offer… Perhaps though, I should consider an ad like the following: Great stuff, right? Especially that smashing logo at the end…

Don’t Stop
Despite unrelenting rain for the last few days, I’ve been in a pretty great mood lately, yesterday especially. But today, a warm, glorious sunny day, I’m feeling blah–seems I’ve strained my upbeat muscle(s). So, I’m trying to perk up with music in the form of a fairly ridiculous and silly playlist this afternoon. Among the…

Paradoxymoron
I tweeted about this months ago but somehow overlooked sharing this wonderfully fun artwork here. On display at the British Library in London is a painting by British artist, Patrick Hughes: Beautiful!

Scintillation
As a jump-start to the week, here is a gorgeous piece to get your creative juices flowing, dear readers:

Rusting on the vine
It has always fascinated me how seemingly trivial things can trigger one’s memory on a dime and transport you to another time or place in an instant– hidden snapshots of one’s life peppered throughout our daily comings and goings. This morning, paying bills at my desk and watching the rain pour down, iTunes surprised me…

One of those days
It’s just one of those days; we all have them– you wake up and the world feels grey and unwelcoming. You scuff around and feel sorry for yourself and maybe mope a little. Well today, I’m having one of those days. BUT instead of moping about like a fool when I feel like this, I…

Méliès the Magician
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of watching a documentary about the work and career of early French filmmaker, Georges Méliès. His work is the sort of early silent film many of us have seen without realizing who the names behind the work were. He is the creator and mind behind the A…

Astonished by drawing
“Accuracy is the least significant part of drawing… but you have learn to draw accurately before you can do anything else…” Five minutes with Milton Glaser on drawing from 2006. Video by C. Coy

30 minutes looking
It’s been an strange day– productive on the one hand but distracting. Oddly enough, today I tripped over an artist whose beautiful work simultaneously hit the nail on the head and sparked my imagination. I know I’m hardly the first person to share this video, but it’s so lovely it needs to keep being shared.…

Lucy McLauchlan
While I’m on the subject of artists whose work gets my creative tail wagging this week, these videos of Lucy McLauchlan working just blow my mind. It makes me want to lock myself in an empty room with a gallon of paint or ink and have at it; though somehow I doubt the results would…

She One
Lately, I’ve been generating increasingly more work after having lapsed into a brief creative coma of sort earlier this year. As I shake off the creative cobwebs and jitters, I feel more compelled to work and tend to have more ideas than I can make good on or even record or realize. Typically, when I…

Leigh Delamere
It’s been a quiet weekend around the studio, drawing mostly; but for some, it’s been quite a busy week. Released this past Friday, Leigh Delamere is the second video from Underpass’ debut album put out by Urban Planning Records: A visual contrast to the first video from the album, which explores the urban Cardiff nightscape,…

Disney delights
Digging up that last batch of cartoons made me wonder about other old favorites from my childhood. Not surprisingly, the vastness of the Internet did not fail me. So I present to you two more childhood Disney favorites: Man do I love Donald Duck.. the muttering KILLS me… and both the soundtrack and foley for…
