Jordan Domont

I first came across the illustration work of Jordon Domont in the current issue of HOW. I noticed his portraits in the table of contents and immediately went searching to find more. The layering of colors and dripping technique he…

T-shirt Wednesdays

I must admit that sometimes I’m a complete sucker for cute. And this Threadless shirt (while I’m not sure I’d actually wear it) is ridiculously so. Cooking with Friends, $20 at Threadless And another type tee… Punctuation, $25 at Turn…

Apologies

So sorry for the slow posting the last few days—I’ve been in San Francisco on vacation. I have lots to catch up on and plenty of posts to put together so expect things to be back to normal tomorrow. Thanks…

Vintage Goodness

Here’s an awesome collection of vintage bottlecaps on Flickr. For such small objects—that many would consider insignificant—most of them are pretty sophisticated in terms of design. Check out the full collection here.

CreativeTechs

If you’re a Mac user and you haven’t yet heard of CreativeTechs, you should check out their site immediately. The tagline says it all really: “left brain support for right brain professionals”. In person CreativeTechs provide Mac tech support for…

New York Magazine

When I receive my copy of New York Magazine every week, there is always some aspect of the design I really like (online as well—love this logo). The look of the magazine is really tight, and I love that they…

Alice Chocolate

I love all things Alice and Wonderland (especially this 80’s TV version, which I know some people find pretty creepy.) So I immediately fell for this chocolate packaging when I saw it awhile ago. And I was psyched to come…

Paula Scher and the Public Theater

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge fan of Paula Scher. She is a legend in the design industry who has had an extremely successful career. Her work for Pentagram, as well as her personal painting, is consistently inspiring. And…

Speaking of CSA…

Awhile ago I promised I’d show you some of the paper promotions I received at the HOW Conference, and of course I just finally got around to organizing them. One in particular that I love is this one designed by…

Naked & Angry

I know most people have heard of Threadless, but Naked & Angry, another skinnyCorp company, is lesser known. Here instead of t-shirts, you submit patterns for judging and scoring by users of the site. Then if ranked high enough, they…

Evgeny Parfenov Illustration

I really love the style of this work. A Moscow-based illustrator, Parfenov uses a highly stylized technique that still lends itself to pretty realistic portraits. Had to throw John Locke in there since I’m a huge LOST fan Parfenov also…

Renegade Update

So unfortunately I don’t really have any pictures from Renegade on Sunday. The weather was not so great—glad I remembered an umbrella—but there was some great stuff to be seen. I didn’t buy very much but I did make note…
