“Does someone in your studio use one of these typefaces? Does it make your typographically sensitive skin crawl? You can help.”
I think this a great witty idea and a fun play on the despise of these typefaces. As long as I can remember Comic Sans has been one of the most hated typefaces out there… to the point that it might be one of the most famous. Which is funny to imagine it...
i'll do better...
Work has been crazy and I have not been home too much. I know I need to do a better job posting stuff and I have tons I want to post too. I just need to find that time to sit down and do it. So don’t loose faith! Im working on it.
WatchKind of a cute story in a weird way. Love how it was drawn.

Wonderful work by Denise Van Leeuwen. Love the importance she puts on the facial expressions and features. Very expressive and unique. The material she uses for the canvas adds to each piece as well as the color palette’s.

The Smart Grid →
Beautifully designed and inovative site created for GE by a Swedish online agency. I love how the type is placed on an angle and the shadow usage. The actual illustrations used for the user interaction are very impresive and well thought out.
Check it out and play around!
And today I have discovered...

I just could not rest until it was done. but here it is. I still have more tweaks here and there to make. But I finally updated my blog design to something I feel is a lot more visually appealing.
Please enjoy!
Ray Caesar →
Beautiful but odd digital work from Ray Caesar. His work is carefully crafted and detail oriented but has a morbid tone to it as well. His story and background is almost like reading a fiction novel because he is so charismatic about how he describes himself and his life. Take a look at his work. Below is a close-up of my favorite piece by far.
Days With My Father →
This is one of the most loving projects I have ever seen. I admire Philip Toledano for doing this because it is so honest. After readings his pieces and seeing the photos it makes me realize how much in my life I take for granted. It’s something I want to change.
It’s something I can change and I will.
Ugh.
I hate my header and its in a serious need of a makeover. Hello weekend project. Snaz up the tumblr…
Chris Scarborough →
Chris Scarborough from Nashville, TN does some very impressive work. His photography series implies what people would look like if they had the characteristics of an anime character; specifically the signature anime eyes. Though the work is somewhat creepy I found myself completely intrigued by it, looking very closely at each piece. I’m stunned at how the images don’t even look...
Dear Chris Brown...

Dear Chris Brown, you’re a real asshole.
Dear Chris Brown, you’re a real douchebag.
Dear Chris Brown, you’re a real fuckin moron.
Dear Chris Brown, I feel sorry for you.
Once again… she does an amazing job summing up exactly how I feel.
Office of the Tooth Fairy →
I guess the the Tooth Fairy has finally launched her own site. Love the design directions she went in, keeping it very traditional with beautiful type treatments. She has decided to stream-line her process with the Official Tooth Fairy Kit. Included is a Letter-pressed form that has a pocket for the tooth and form to keep record of name, age, tooth lost, method of extraction and compensation...

Really fun little flash piece designed by Breadline Design.

Beautiful detailed illustrations by John Ryan Solis. A little quarky and sexual but amazingly executed. Love his studies of hair and form without faces.
White Out
The snow is making me feel like a child again. All I want to do is go take a walk in it and be silent. If there is one thing that makes me miss New England it’s the fall and winter. Everything is at peace when drapped in a blanket of white. I want to have white sparkle in my hair and to look up and see the sky dance.
It’s beautiful. More so than any words I could type right now.
February.
fembot:
welcome, shortest month of the year. come on in. sit down, but don’t stay too long. i’ve got to be somewhere.

sometimes, i find it hard to say your name. your spelling is tricky and it sorta pisses me off. others must agree, cuz i’ve never met a girl name February.
April, May, June, yes. Heck, even January! But never a February. Hmmm.
