Forevers Not So Long

I know its been all of 3 hours since my last post but i feel that if i don't share this now than I will forget. First let me say the StumbleUpon is a freaking awesome way, not only to waist time, but to find amazing art and ideas. Today I found this video, it's only about 12 minutes long but its was extremely powerful. I shows a man and a women who had just met building a relationship in 4 hours before they die. its incredible! So if you have a little bit of time to spare, you won't regret it, its phenomenal!

Here is the link to the video
Forever's Not So Long

Why Your Pets Are Such Good Inspiration

              About a month back I was assigned a project and told to design a cd cover and just like any designer, the minute I heard about the project my mind started filling with ideas of how to make it. After a while I had settled on an idea involving a lot of mannequins, well needless to say the project fell apart when my lack of mannequins became painfully apparent. So after several failed attempts of photoshopping stock photos and being angrily thrown out of Macy's for taking picture of there mannequins, I decided to go another direction. While sitting on my couch staring at my computer screen my dog came and sat next to me and looked at me with his tiny expressive face and gave me a fabulous idea. The was, after all, called dog days, so why not use my dog?
             
              It was to be hilarious! I had decided on a victorian style design based mostly on this a victorian ad for a bicycle. Along with the awesome (but completely fussy and took me forever to get to work right) typeface I decided to use my dog, and my roommates dog, and my fiancee's dog.... basically just a lot of dogs. The design finally came down to putting these funny expressive animals on victorian dressed people. so with out further ado let me introduce you to the design...






And here are the stars...

Have you seen it

If you haven't lately go to tack bell. No not for the greasy tacos or the hours of heart burn and popping tums but for the awesome new design of the wrappers
and the drink cups. I will put up a picture just as soon as I can get one!

Getting Started

Just putting together my new website and identity. Working hard with school and putting out some good work this semester. Fingers crossed for a few strong pieces for the ol' portfolio.
