Vintage Ad Browser

I was recently asked by a client to come up with a “vintage” ad for their business – “something with a  70′s feel,” they said.  Seeing as how I grew up in the 1980s, I needed a little visual inspiration to get my creative juices flowing.  That’s when I came across VintageAdBrowser.com which is basically [...]

Charlie White – Surrealist

I love all forms of art.  Well not all, I’m not really into interpretive dance.  I do however love a good surrealist when I find one.   But this guy’s different.  Charlie White is a bit of an anomaly.  While much of his work tends to focus on various aspects of the human condition, he manages [...]

A Tribute to Patrick Nagel

John Hughes flicks, smoking in the mall, my first pair of Wayfarers…just a handful of things I loved about the 80′s.  You know what else I loved about the 80′s?  Patrick Nagel.  If you were around in the 80′s then you’ll definitely remember some of the coolest visual interpretations of the fairer sex ever to [...]

Cool Custom Wallpaper

As I near the end of a six-month-long process of renovating my place, one of the few things I have left to do is a wallpaper accent wall. In the interest of avoiding the run-of-the-mill product that the big box stores are pushing, I took to the web to find something a little cooler. That’s [...]

Retro Horror Movie Posters

Everything old is new again…well at least as far as Hollywood’s concerned. It’s not news at this point that they’ve gone ahead and re-made George A. Romero’s 1973 cult classic The Crazies, but seeing all the ads around town leading up to the film’s February 26 release got me feeling nostalgic. As a bonafide horror [...]

Turquoise

I probably wouldn’t wear it and it does remind me of my childhood in the early 90′s but Pantone named Turquoise, specifically, PMS 15-5519 Turquoise, their 2010 Color Of The Year. However, I will try to incorporate it into some upcoming design projects but I’m not quite sure how it’ll be used. Wait…I’m visualizing something… [...]

Banksy: Exit Through the Gift Shop

After nearly 10 years of giving the globe a fourth dimension with his socially satirical street art, Briton Bansky (or Robin Banks as he may or may not be called), has made a movie.  Billed as “the world’s first street art disaster movie”, Exit Through the Gift Shop made its debut at the 2010 Sundance [...]

Nikki Farquharson – All Mixed-Up

…in a really, really good way.

She’s young. She’s talented. She’s British…and she’s bloody brilliant. At 24 years old, Nikki has already stacked up some pretty mean credits – her resume boasts gigs with Benefit Cosmetics, Fujifilm and Missbehave Magazine, to name a few.

Chicks Are Hot

I don’t really know too much about this guy besides the fact that his name is Steve, he’s based in the UK and he produces some of the wildest photo-realism I’ve ever seen of really good looking girls.  Have a look at his site to see more colorful oil-on-canvas representations of retro-chic hotties eating watermelons [...]
