Really digging the beautiful simplicity my buddy Shelby was able to distill from everyday sights, it’s almost a catalogue of how little is needed to tell a story – a few very basic shapes and some color. We’ve seen this quite a bit in today’s digital design age, but there’s something about the framing of […]

The photos you see above were taken on a cell phone. If you’re as surprised to read that as I am, don’t be alarmed. As a Droid X user who has opted to wait yet another two-year contract cycle before purchasing the ever-beautiful communications experience that is the iPhone, my introduction to the world of […]

For those of us living on the mid-Atlantic coast in America, it’s been a cold and snowy winter so far, dumping far more powder on us already than the past three years combined. Some…okay, most people complain about the nightmare the roads become, or the lack of plowed roadways, or shoveling their buried cars, or […]

He has a really cool concept going here, and in other images on his site. Maybe one of these […]

So I’m sure there is already a sea of chatter about Bibio‘s newest, Ambivalence Avenue. That becomes a very fitting title, almost in anticipation of the reception it would get, ambivalence is described as “having simultaneous conflicting feelings toward a person or thing.” Maybe this was intentional, to take a markedly bolder step forward, to […]

A little indie rock and pop never hurt anybody right? Here are some tunes I came across recently to give you a reason to wear your shades and rock out. First up is Longwave, with a tune that indie fundamentalists might dismiss as cliche or poorly written, but that I’ll go ahead and say kicks […]

So I was headed into the lab last week to have a few Body Language press shots re-scanned and I decided to bring in another roll I had taken over a year ago as well to have the image above re-scanned. It was taken in April of last year, at a rally for death-row inmate […]
