Radiohead's Nude played through electronics

Somebody synchronized all these electronics so that they would play Radiohead's "Nude". Check it out its impressive.

Masaru Tatsuki’s Decotora

Decotora, short for decorated trucks. This is a colourful aspect of Japanese pop culture , and has been extensively explored by photographer Masaru Tatsuki who spent ten years with the truckers of Japan’s highways. I think they're amazing. So, much better than lowriders... some lowriders i should say.

Newest poster design.

Oh Mah Gawd! FIVE color (gold, yellow, magenta, cyan, black) screenprint at 22"x30"! Yeah, i'm surprised too. It's a poster for Nasa's 5oth anniversary (for those who might have a hard time reading what it says. I'm sure you can read it but just in case). I went a little crazy with this design, but you know what I don't care. I love it. This is one of the few designs I am truly proud of. I feel like so much of the work I've created over this summer has been fairly mediocre. If anyone actually reads this... which I have a feeling not many people do, if any, some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!



Note: the diamond isn't that gold color in the final print. It's white with parts of the diamond shaded with cyan so it looks like purdy diamond.

Vader Project

I stumbled on this when my friend sent me a link to a toy version of general grevious's starship. Anyways, I've always had a secret crush on these sort of events/projects/qee toys. I always love how many different versions there end up being. I remember going to the OX-OP show when they commissioned people do a toy dog. Man, was that sweet. Let's hope the OX-OP gallery opens again soon. I miss that place.

Niagara!! Pure Awesomeness.


Serato!

Yesterday my friend drew came over and we played around with his Rane Serato Scratch Live set. Oh. My. God. I am in LOVE! There is no way I'm not going to get this thing. It's a digital DJ set that can be used alone or in combination with Vinyl or CD turntables so you can scratch mp3's. It's stupidly simple too. Most brilliant thing ever invented. When I get this trust me there will be a dance party with out a doubt.

Maybe it isn't such a bad logo after all

I just found out that Enron's E logo was actually designed by Paul Rand! I couldn't believe this. I guess it was designed so late into his life that it usually doesn't make it into books about him. Plus, I don't know if the publishers would want to have Rand associated with that company.
