Airbrush Recap

Parts for a Hayabusa, Portrait of the boss's Son Tyler, Cheshire cat, Shoes for JD, Shirt for LBJ foundation, Shoes for Dondria!

I've been busy... lol

Chuck Close

Chuck Close is an incredible portrait artist who is a huge inspiration... you might have to go to the fora.tv site to see the whole thing. its like an hour long. but if u just wanna skip to certain parts it has titled chapters on the fora.tv site. The part about disabilities is pretty great. Kind of makes you feel like an A-hole for ever making excuses for not doing something though...
If your an artist you should probably watch/listen to it all the way through tho.

Va$htie Kola

Female Music Video Director Va$htie Kola is a rarity in the male dominated field of video directing. I really look up to her as a role model for women working in male dominated fields which if you know me is kind of my thing.... Tom boys will one day rule the world...... lol

Johnny Cupcakes!!!!

So a few weeks ago I went to Boston with my boyfriend and his brother to help him sell his art at the Nike Indoor Nationals track meet and while we were there we decided to stop by this store called Johnny Cupcakes... that does not sell cupcakes...

It sounds weird I know...but its actually one of the best things in the world.... 

Below is the shirt that I bought (this is the first shirt I've EVER bought for more than $20! Gasp!) I had to spoil myself for once and buy something expensive that made me happy :-)

Check out the website for yourself, read the Johnny Cupcakes story and try to to spend too much! (Hint: they do have buttons and stickers for $1 if you are on a tight budget)

MUST SEE ***The Black List*** HBO

The Black List Vol. 1-3 on HBO on demand is probably one of the best documentaries I've ever seen...
Perfect for black history month.
I don't really know how to discribe how good this program is without sounding corny or cliche...
I don't know what to say to convince you (yes you!) that you should watch this or at least parts of it, no matter what race you are or how much you think you already know about African-Americans.

All I can say is...you should watch this...

There are a few of the full interviews on youtube but most of whats on youtube are just 1 minute trailers. I put some of the full interviews that I liked below.

Please share this with as many people as you can.

Trailer for The Black List Vol 2

Some of the full interviews that I really liked but couldnt find on youtube were: 

Al Sharpton

Slash

Susan Rice
Suzan Lori Parks

I'm in love with Project H

Project H is a non-profit design group that designs products for the other 90% of the world that doesn't have the basic necessities. I-pods are great, but there has to more to the world of design than the next cool gadget. This is the kind of design that makes me remember why I got into industrial design. :-)

Product design initiatives for Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.

Project H Design connects the power of design to the people who need it most, and the places where it can make a real and lasting difference.

We are a team of designers and builders engaging locally to improve the quality of life for the socially overlooked. Our five-tenet design process (There is no design without (critical) action; We design WITH, not FOR; We document, share and measure; We start locally and scale globally, We design systems, not stuff) results in simple and effective design solutions for those without access to creative capital.

WE BELIEVE DESIGN CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

Their most famous project is the Hippo Roller for transporting water... So simple and so necessary!

For more information about Project H go to http://projecthdesign.org/index.html

Blog Stealing! All About Presentation

See original post here 

"Freeway & Jake One are releasing an album called Stimulus Package and the packaging for the album is very creative. I'm sure there might be a couple of people who buy this album just for it's packaging. Whoever designed this definitely gets mad props for the design and it's being called the CD Packaging Of The Year if that's a real award to kinda have. Anyway check out the packaging below. Skip to the 1:10 mark to get pass all the build up and see the actual packaging."
