everyone thinks they are a designer...


This is totally true. I love it! A great strip... if you are involved in design, or even if you are not you should check it out: businessguysonbusinesstrips.com

the magic of photoshop

Found this super cool photo.

Very clever. Erik Johansson's other work is also pretty great, but this was my favorite. Not much else to report. 5 weeks until D Day.

legos, starwars, and paperclips

Never Underestimate Youth - Especially if they have a lightsaber.


I discovered Chris McVeigh through Bent Objects. Both excellent blogs that make use of small figures/everyday objects in their photographs which remind me a lot of my own photographs. Maybe someday I will find a coherent theme for my blog, but in the meantime I can seriously admire their work.

A couple other Chris McVeigh photos that I thought were super clever:
Umm...
Late for Work

apology

Sorry not to post for a long time, but we have been busy doing this!



OK, we haven't reached the end yet... 9 weeks to go! But I thought it was clever and wanted to share.

Anyway, I posted a comment on a friends blog yesterday and realized how long it has been since I have posted anything here. Things have been pretty crazy for me between freelancing for my last job, work for the synagogue, and well... there's a little monster in my belly :)

Hope all is well with all of you (whoever is out there).

bike to work day

Tomorrow (May 15th) is national bike to work day. My bike is in pretty bad shape, but I plan on walking... apparently that is what the bikes prefer.

my cartoon and other job related stuff

This is sort of old news... I created an educational illustration for work. It has gotten rave reviews and I have heard other folks are using it as far away as California. I am just posting the thumbnail, but email me if you want to see the whole drawing. I am happy because i got to do something genuinely creative and hopefully make the world a little safer.

In other work news several of my designs from the past year won marketing awards. It is funny because the one i was least proud of won the gold, but I am proud of the other 2 designs, which won a silver and merit awards.

Not too much to report workwise... some restructuring, but seems like things are going in a positive direction.

tea and tea cups

I thought this was clever, although this teacup is waaay too small for a proper cup of tea
(via AT). Personally I like my tea in a giant mug, and I have been drinking a lot of it lately. While I enjoy my tea I am hoping for weather that doesn't require piping hot beverages in order to keep warm. Well, at least it was warm enough to walk home from work yesterday.
