Giant SQUID cake!
Friday, February 20th, 2009
Have you ever wanted to know how to make a giant squid cake?! ME, TOO!
Thankfully, a marvelously clever woman (Beth Johnson) has posted instructions on how to do just that. My life is a little more complete now.
I give it two YUM YUUUUMs! (Gremlins reference – the food equivalent to two thumbs up.)

Veer – typography, illustration, screensavers and merch
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008
This (www.veer.com) is a fantastic site for the graphically minded. Besides wonderful articles, they have wonderful merchandise. For example – the Uppercase Scarf – I would rock this out (& probably be very cold) this winter:
Also check out this wonderful (free) screensaver:

100 Horror Movie Posters (pt 1 and 2)
Monday, December 15th, 2008
http://wellmedicated.com/inspiration/100-illustrated-horror-film-posters-part-1/
This is a really fantastic spread of 100 great horror movie posters. (Really 200, since there is a part 1 and part 2.) The layouts are spectacular, typography is stellar and the illustrations are lush. I wish movie posters still looked like this.

So, I actually won…
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008
Yep, I won the cat / acappella songwriting challenge. Go figure.
Mine’s the 7th one down and titled “An Animal”.

As the winner, I get to decide the next week’s challenge. I’ve decided to have it visually based. So, I’m asking the songwriters to write a song, somehow related to the this painting (which I painted a few years ago):

Thomas Heatherwick
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007
Thomas Heatherwick is an amazing artist and architect. He has some of the most innovative stuff I seen in a long, long time.
WIRED has a nice article on him:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.03/brightstuff.html
To create this outdoor sculpture at the Wellcome Trust in London, Heatherwick first made a 2-inch-long blob by pouring molten metal into water.
The three-story staircase, made from 55 tons of hot-rolled steel, arrived at Longchamp’s new SoHo boutique prebuilt, ready for installation. Acrylic-like PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) panels based on aerospace windshields hang from the handrails.
