I recently designed and printed 1 copy of a book featuring some of my recent design work. I think it turned out decent, however there are a few things I’d do differently the next time. What do you think?

This is a slick photo by Christoph Benfey. Its crazy to see how all these new developments in Toronto have taken over the skyline. As cool as it looks now (At night only), the architecture is so cookie cutter, I can imagine how awful it will look in 10 years. Hopefully they come down as fast as they go up…

I recieved my first playboy purchase in the mail today. I have a concept for my office which Im currently building that will not only display my own work ( The stuff thats timeless to me) but also inspirations that are 11×17 or smaller. This being one of them, along with other magazine covers I love…

Last night Sotheby’s / Livestrong had an art auction in NYC, all proceeds would go to Livestrong. I caught it live via Lance Armstrong’s twitter feed. I’ve re-organized it to read from top to bottom, check it out…

My work with Matt Barnes was just recognized on the Westside Studio blog, click image to check it out!
Im proud to say I helped Matt Barnes win 1st place in the PDN Photographer Self promo Awards in the category of “Extraordinary Non Traditional Promotions”. I was the art director and designer on his promo project, and I’ve been so excited to see all the hard work has paid off. Check the awards here!
PDN Says “The attention-grabbing promotions on the following pages show a wonderful range of approaches: at times humorous, serious, minimal or elaborate and always impactful in their own way. Migrating the contest online this year allowed the multimedia campaigns to shine. From Matt Barnes’s extraordinary posters and picture disk record promo to Andrew Hetherington’s blog (a Self-Promo Awards first) to Brook Pifer’s lip dub video of music industry personalities singing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” your outstanding efforts earned our applause.”
Thanks to Matt and DJ Platurn for this amazing piece. Its seriously awesome.
I never thought I’d see the day when something I painted, created or designed would hit the C-List… Well, here’s the day…

On Craigslist, For a cool 800 bucks or less you can own the first Who’s The Fairest Mirror I designed.
(Note, I did not put this up on craigslist and am not sure who the owner is at this time)
my original photo from hxfour.com, happy bidding!!

I was in Winners yesterday, looking for baby stuff, (And believe it or not, you can find Missoni Home bed sheets and towels there on occasion) when I came across this book.

The cover illustration grabbed me immediately, and seems so simple just as I would do. I quickly read it, and joyfully put it in our basket. The book is about using your imagination and “seeing outside the box”. I love it… As I was researching the author, Antoinette Portis, I found there’s another book called ‘Not A Stick’. I’ll be buying that one for sure.
Congratulations to Marge Simpson as Novembers Playboy Cover Girl… This will be the first playboy purchase I will make.
