Creativity Actualized

It's been a process to get this completed... But i did it. Starting as a sentimental anniversary gift it manifested into much much more... almost a self accomplishment piece. For quite some time, outside of school, freelance or the things i create for work I've been wanting to complete a personal project. Who has time for that?! You have to make time... Abstract in nature with personal elements tied into the composition, its something I'm very proud of. Now I'm on to the next one. No rest... And since I've been blessed that others have contacted me to do some pieces for them it is only the beginning.

Oh, and before i forget. A huge thanks to the team at Canvaspop. It was my first design-to-canvas print and they worked with me to make sure it was what I envisioned. And as an artist that goes a long way.

The Ideal Heart Rate?!

Cruising the web and checking things out beyond the newsfeed on the Facebook always refreshes my perspective on design. I found this Student Spotlight on TheDieline and I am ssomewhat in love with the all around concept and execution especially.

"The name Oneighty, the ideal heart rate, gives hint to the complete turn around you can find in this nutrient-dense snack. Break the seal. Crack it open. Pour the nuts, and make a friend as you use the shell itself as a serving bowl. "

Who doesn't appreciate packaging that doubles as a methods to contain, serve and dispose of the product contained within? Well, if you don't then don't talk to me.

The Gentlemen's Rant: Homophobia

Check this out. It's full of gems and well... truths. Simple as that. I need not say anything more... the rant speaks for itself.

Evil Comes In Small Sizes

Came across this video, and honestly, not sure how I hadn't recognized Skrillex's name before, but none the less, I think this video is a visual treat. It's dark and grim. It's gritty and plays very well to the theme, tempo, and story. Don't mess with that little girl cause she's a terror!

So It's That Kind Of Party?!

I will say that I have only seen this spot twice, but there's something about it that amuses me. Is it her uppity attitude, or his dance to the LMFAO tune? ... yeah, it his dancing to the tune. Probably because there's an odd fascination with some of us over the, "wiggle wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle..YEAH!" lyric. Either way, i approve, but let's see what other situations we see the brown one in down the road.. sounds awful after re-reading it, but I stand by it.
