Love your clouds!
At first I sat back in my chair with my legs crossed for this one, I admit I was a bit resistive. Living in the Pacific Northwest we have an interesting and intimate relationship with clouds. We’re usually bitching about them. This little spot is a one-way ticket to giggletown and affection for those little guys. When you think about it, they’re only dumping the building... Read More

Coast Modern + Build
Build has created this limited edition poster for the film Coast Modern (trailer below). Sized at 33 1/8″ x 23 7/16″ and printed on 100lb Topkote stock in Pantone 806, it is a complete slice of the west coast of the US + Vancouver, Canada. What a color choice, what a coastline. I’m proud to be on this coast, in one of the little blips where the Columbia River slices into... Read More
Blue Hole Free Dive
The second largest blue hole in the world is in the Bahamas, and people free dive it. Crazy people, people who clearly want to die, and look awesome while doing it. Blue holes are basically underwater sinkholes, like the one we recently saw in Guatemala, associated with rainwater infiltrating bedrock in the Pleistocene era. This particular Blue Hole is called Dean’s Blue... Read More
Starman, 1984
Starman is a movie not too many folks talk about or even know about. It was my dad’s favorite, in fact in his younger years my dad even looked like Jeff Bridges did in this film—red flannel shirts, playful careless hair, and as always, Carharts. Jeff Bridges was nominated for best actor after this film came out in 1984, and Karen Allen also does a great job as co-lead.... Read More
Nature’s Assasin – A Tetrology
Becoming is an acclaimed, visually stunning short film that is part of a tetrology by Ayelen Liberona. The fist shot is so incredible when the main character emerges from a stream. The rest is just odd + incredible. It’s a little scary, partly disturbing, but so very well done. I love the contortion, gestures, and movements of the assassin. I’ve never seen a human... Read More
André Paul Pinces
Lurking around HMAb I became befuddled and charmed by a cute little post on André Paul Pinces. Later, on his site, I found three of his films he’s done as look books for clothing labels. More charm. You may recall an earlier post where I shared a similar approach to a clothing label and their upcoming collections. My point of view is that these are much more effective... Read More
Sonar
MAN math is beautiful huh? This video blew me away with it’s simple and elegant construction. This is what really get’s me excited about design. Taking complex ideas and presenting them in such a well thought out manner than no bells are needed. The ideas wether they be design related or mathematical speak for themselves. I’m going to stop talking and watch this... Read More
Metal in Iraq
Vice Magazine + VBS.tv just sent out their newsletter and in it was their documentary on Iraq’s only heavy metal band, Acrassicauda. If you’ve got 84 minutes, you’ll find cameos from Gideon Yago and a great perspective on youth culture in a violent setting. Vice did such an excellent job here on several levels. First of all the coverage of just getting into... Read More
David O’Reilly: Please Say Something
Please Say Something – Full Length from David OReilly on Vimeo. David O’Reilly is a tremendously gifted animator who I was first introduced to by my friend (and gifted animator in his own right) Vance Reeser. I love that O’Reilly strips his animations down to the bare essentials, and pushes what some would consider beautiful. Above is his reinvention of the... Read More
