Man, how good are these faux Tintin covers by Dan Hipp? SOOO good.

New York sculptor Randall Rosenthal creates amazing pieces carved out of single blocks of wood. His work reminds me of ceramacist Richard Shaw. (Via @kickthebobo)

All baby time in February. Took Duke to his first concert (Yo La Tengo) and his second concert (Ted Leo). A good dad wastes no time in giving his kid street cred.

Yuki 7 is back! Love those textures. (First Yuki 7 video)

Wow. Look at all the couch time. Kinda sad. But it was a great month. Got to stay home with Duke the whole time. Had a great snow storm on New Years Eve too.

Had a HORRIBLE bout with kidney stones. That was the low. The high was the birth of our son, Duke on Thanksgiving. Amazing.

Better late than never, right? Been busy. Anyway, October was the the month of preparing for our son to be born. Not much else happened really. If it did, I can’t remember.

Another winner! What happens when you take the characters from chapter four of the Great Gatsby and decide to make business cards for them? If you are The Heads of State you have a dynamite poster on your hands. 32 different cards pulling from the design styles of the 20′s all on one sheet. This [...]

A beautiful poster from the people over at Typography Deconstructed. The poster covers the Anatomy of Type and also has a Type Glossary. The poster is a high-quality 16 X 24 letterpress print produced by the print masters over at Studio On Fire. The detail on this poster is top notch: The good news is [...]

A great short animation based of a true legend. The film contains 16 hidden messages that hold clues to the characters’ secrets. Eight are fairly easy and require only a close eye. Six are moderately difficult using various encryption methods. Two are extremely difficult and will require a genius mind to decrypt. thom

Sure do love these Bamboo iPhone 4 covers. Hurry up, February!! ($25.00) (Check out all of their wood iPhone 4 covers. Nice!)

My wife and I had our first baby on Thanksgiving and for the birth announcement, I made a mix CD. I used the old Blue Note record designs of the 50′s and 60′s as inspiration. I sent around 50 of these out to family and friends. All the songs have the word “Baby” in their [...]

Gestalten TV brings us this wonderful video of the goings on over at Studio on Fire, arguable one of the best letterpress studios out there. What a treat.

There was a fire in the neighborhood. My wife said, “That’s all it takes for all the cockroaches to come out of their houses.” She was talking about our neighbors which we almost never see. the biggest news: NEW FREAKIN’ CARPET! SO nice. My ears got clogged with wax. pretty gross. Sucked, too. Also,

Went camping twice. One trip was fun, one was horrible. I wore a lot of WFMU t-shirts. That’s what happens when you have about 20 of ‘em. I cleaned out the car port which was VERY satisfying. Other than that, work, work, work.

Made with Blender, the open-source 3-D creation suite. Worth watching full screen over at YouTube.

I love this poster that Adrian Tomine did for Los Angeles book seller Skylight Books. You can try your hand at winning one of ten if you are so inclined. (via OMG Posters)

GAP has decided to redesign their logo: Well, that didn’t turn out well. This looks like it was designed by a corporate committee. “Hey, Helvetica is still hot, right? Use that. And, hey, tack on a blue box somewhere so that people can still relate to the old logo. OK, gotta go play golf!” Really [...]

I am speechless. No, not really because I am about to go on. Take a look at the upcoming Fujifilm FinePix x100 digital camera (expected release: early 2011). Wow. Did the designers get this right? Yes. They did. Even down to the screw hole in the trigger button that accepts an old school cable release! [...]

I bought a new camera last week, an Olympus E-P2. One of the reasons I bought is was because it looked like it took pretty good video and I wanted something before the baby came. Today I did a little testing and created this homage to the dogs. Fun!

Been around a while but worth a rewatch. (There are swears. Just sayin’.)
