The other day someone said to me "Tumblr is like blogging for lazy people" and I thought wow, thats so true and thats why I love using it. and the way it displays images. and you find folks like this which is great:

"We're an online store for geeks and gamers with a strong focus on products that embody a high-tech lifestyle and passion for retro nostalgia. We play lots of video games, watch science fiction, read comic books, roll 20-sided dice, bring bits and bytes to life with thousands of lines of code, and spend most of our time basking in the radiation output from large, flat-screen LCD monitors. We may not have the best social skills or see the light of day very often, but rest assured, when the zombie apocalypse does come -- you want to roll with us."

a super fine film every artist, designer, business owner - or anyone who has ever designed, paid for or run advertising - should watch. the power is in the belief for sure.

The title says it all. so true and funny. but i guess if you discovered all of this before leaving school the magic of the discovery might be lost.

Megabolt - Sketchbooks

megabolt.jpg


When you buy a sketchbook, you're not only getting one for yourself, you're also giving one to a child in a hospital. But we're not stopping there. Every sketchbook is individually numbered which will allow you to see exactly whom you are giving the book to. Once the child has completed his or her book, their artwork will be uploaded onto Megabolt.org where you will be able to interactively flip through the pages of the book*.

Nikki McClure

nikki-rely-front.jpg

Someone gave us a small book called The Great Chicken Escape by Nikki McClure for Christmas and it was one of the most brilliant, simple, visual stories i have seen in years. Her work is beautiful and can be purchased at BuyOlympia.com.

From her site: Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture.

I came across the Wee Gallery booth and Dave Pinto while working a booth right across the aisle at the Kids & Baby Expo in Vegas last week. Dave and his wife have created amazing gifts for newborns based on his wifes artwork. Our kids have already used the coloring book, little tattoos and flashcards and love them- thanks Dave!

Childrens Book Illustrators

Always the most inspiring for myself are childrens books, uninhibited beautiful illustration and artwork not muddled by logos. I ran across these illustrators reading scores of library books to Henry, our 3 year old son.
