HOLLA!

Kristin’s Brother was kind enough to lend us his Bottle Brush X-mas Tree (from the MoMA store a few years back) until we get our own.

Pretty!

I am looking for one of these. The Moma Store used to carry them but no longer. It is a simple, super modern Christmas Tree designed by Kuno Prey, a professor at the famous Bauhaus design school in Germany

It is made from industrial bottle brushes dyed green and then inserted into a bright-red wood pole, the tree looks great decorated or undecorated.

Here are some places with descriptions - click or click.

The links are both 404s. So I’d rather not make them take the server hits by linking.

I picked two up, one for me and one for Kristin.

I am a pretty busy guy, but then again, who isn’t busy. The main problem with me being busy is that I often forget things. Some things important (like waking up this morning), and other things not so important (like posting flyers I made on Augiemania.)

One of the primary consumers of time in my life is Dog and Pony Show. I find myself being on call for the site in all waking hours, and I wear many hats. One of which is Lead Designer, I also have “Art Director” on my resume (yes, DAPS is on my resume for real). As Art Director I usually have to come up with some funky flyers for parties we are throwing, or any other type of promotions.

Here are 4 that I’ve made but never posted.

This first one is for a promotion we were doing trying to get people to register for the site (b&w to save dough on printing:

This is in the same vein as the last, but meant as a promo to be handed out at Warped Tour 08:

This was a postcard to promote our ill-fated Rock The Harbor After Party:

Finally, this one was a flyer for our AWESOME party at Dugout a month or so back:

Pizza Land is a restaurant in Oneonta, NY. The food is meh, but the napkins, the napkins, are beautiful!

“cynics may shake their heads, but cynics never really do much anyway. Except shake their heads.”

Great quote, it rings true.

I saw this on an ad for the freelancers union, which has, in my opinion, notoriously terrible looking ads.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that it isn’t ‘more of the same,’ but if you want to showcase your freelancers, or whatever the objective of the ads is, make them pretty, please.

Stevie and The Lawgiver straight up RULE. They pointed me to this SUPER EASY favicon maker.

so peep the one I made, (incase it isn’t showing up yet.)

I made an ad for dog and pony show to appear on facebook:

If you see it, don’t click! I’m doing a pay per click. let those dudes that don’t know click!

The mock-up or whatever of the RNC is really good looking. Who ever did it should be applauded. The pixel detail is stunning.

I think the shading/lighting is my favorite part. Working in pixels also makes sense when you see the rigid and stern feel of the stage.

I wonder how they will shoot this… That flag has got to look great behind anyone. Patton anyone?

Pixel art also suggests a more progressive stance on the internet (unlike obama’s veep, biden).

It has also been noted that the stage looks fascist, but i think it will translate better IRL.

Take a look:

After getting bored staring at the SelfishJerk theme I made for wordpress, I decided to revamp it. I have been working on it in off hours over the past week. I expect it to be done in two days or so. so expect that soon.
