After having worked in the television and film industry for over a decade, I've decided to escape the madness and relaunch myself into the creative world of graphic design. This blog documents snippets of inspiration gathered, projects I'm working on, and miscellaneous musings. It's more of a creativity-inducing personal scrapbook than anything else, but I encourage you to peruse it's pages, and add insight and share interesting tidbits whenever possible, because they are very welcome.

White Out


Everyone seems to be buried under a shit-ton of snow lately, but as I look out the window, we haven't had the pleasure as of yet. I'm not saying that's an entirely bad thing - I'm not a fan of digging my car out or braving the bitter cold of the tundra, but I do love being snuggly warm inside with a cup of cocoa and a splash of Carolan's. 

I know I haven't been keeping up with this blog as I originally intended to, but hopefully 2011 will give me a renewed opportunity to get excited about art and design as I look for employment once again...in the meantime, I satisfy myself with images of amazing snow sculptures on Google Image Search...here's a few of the highlights...

Back Up Into The Future!



After 4 years of tireless engineering, the geniuses at Flash Rods have finally unveiled their long-anticipated Delorean stainless steel hard drive car. They've really outdone themselves on this one - they've included all the painstaking details, like the 50's style moon discs, opening hood and gull wing doors. At the heart of this cool contraption is an Integrated Seagate 500GB hard drive, which includes high speed connectivity. If you're obsessed with Back to the Future culture, this wacky racer is sure to make an awesome addition to your desk top. 


Pick one up today at flashrods.com for about $250 USD.

Supakitch & Koralie; Symbiosis in Design


My friend Jory showed me this video in class one day and it blew my mind. I love watching the creative process and this short film is beautifully shot. I'm definitely going to search for more beautiful creations by this incredible duo.

London's Henry Hadlow




Henry is great. He used to be a scientist who researched drugs for cancer, but he enjoyed graphic design so much that now he is happier travelling the world and inspiring others. For more quirkiness from Henry Hadlow, visit his portfolio site. To find out more about him, visit his online profile.

Spray Can Art


Graffiti and street art is super dope - but why be tethered to working on the wall? These inspiring can designs probably don't boost your can control skills, but they look amazing anyway.

Going Back In Vogue


I grew up with my mom having lots of vintage Vogue cover prints all over the house and recently came across some more when I was searching for t-shirt design ideas...the lady in the moon is one of my all-time favorites. I would love to get my hands on a book full of them.
