Wiring Diagrams for light and power
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
I LOVE this book. I believe I received it from Angela Faz years ago… but it continues to be an inspiration. I love that it was on naval vessel and has tons and tons of hand lettered typography. Plus, frankly, I’m just a sucker for diagrams.
Read more about the WWII warship’s travels (chances are, this book was aboard):

BlueCanvas.com
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
Blue Canvas is an online art community that I just discovered. Don’t be fooled by the cheezy web design, there are some top notch artists on the site. In fact, it’s got nice international representation. Out of 10 artists I viewed only 1 was from the US.
Yes, yes, I added myself (and my paintings) to their ranks. You can view my gallery HERE if you want to.
… on a sidenote: I want to be in a band called : ITALIC DRAGON

Josh Keyes is on fire
Saturday, April 4th, 2009
SO… it’s 5:30 am and I can’t sleep. I’m facing my third bout of illness this winter and I’m waiting ( and praying) for the theraflu to kick in.
In the mean time, I thought I’d showcase Josh Keyes. His technical skill is… well, see for yourself. Dude knows how to draw (and paint). I especially like his use of isolation and (human) perspective… This is how most of us experience animals, isn’t it? In tidy little boxes behind safety glass?
No wonder the environment is in trouble. Humanity is experiencing some serious disconnect.
