After being invited into a Fantasy Hockey League, I figured predraft was a perfect time to give my team a flavor. I used the Yahoo hockey helm as guidline and slapped my own art work on the side. Without further adieu… I give you the Kalamazoo Llamas. The bricks are a little salute to Marc-Andre [...]

Beach Blanket Zombo
Another great sketchy, this one taking place out at the Gypsy Cafe on the South Side. I love every opportunity to bounce around to local arts related establishments. DJ Zombo kicked the tunes and all the monkeys cranked out some sketches. Here are just a few from the evening…

Name that Font
Working with type every day, I figured it would be groovy to post a couple fontastic links to my fellow droogies. A fun little game, testing a little bit of your typeface knowledge: Font Game. Cant figure one out? Use this dandy little tool: What The FONT!?. My first stop to check out fonts: Abstract [...]

TED Speaks, V’GER Destroys.
If you haven’t already listened to any of the TED Conference presentations, I encourage you to hop over to TED.com and check them out. I watched quite a few and all of them were quite excellent and engaging. There are talks about mushrooms to the intelligence of crows (I love crows), so I’m certain there [...]

Its headed up by Joe Wos curator of the Toonseum and this local installment is a part of the greater Dr. Sketchy Anti-Art School. It was a pretty great time, really my first time figure drawing since… High School (Which [...]

Odd Nerdrum
While visiting Norway, I stumbled across a book whose face captured me… The piece was “Limbo”, by Norwegian artist Odd Nerdrum… whose name is a little hard to forget, especially after seeing his work. As you burrow through his gallery, you may stumble on a few pieces which are a little “odd” (sorry), but every [...]
Chuck Connelly
I recently watched the HBO Documentary “The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not for Sale”. It was a very good documentary, and it opened me up to his work. Chuck has a very interesting style, and I personally was drawn toward a lot of his Scaboda pieces. They are the pieces that were painted by [...]
Ron Mueck
I visited the Ron Mueck exhibit at the Warhol last night with the local Arthouse Meetup Group. I had a great time talking with the local members and touring the work. Mueck has a real command of his craft. It was interesting to see the process in an informational video. He seemed almost as alien [...]

Arise from the Ashes
Like a streaking phoenix, I aim to retake the hopeless shell of a temporary design that had previously tarnished the web. I launched the new site yesterday, and plan to start populating content and clearing away the cobwebs of CMS conversion. So if you are seeing some out of place elements, have no fears… those [...]

iSwitched
Its been somewhere over a month since I switched over to an apple. I picked up the MacbookPro flavor and I have to say that it tastes pretty good. Here are a few of my opinions on it so far… The font management on OSX is far superior to Windows… basically Windows has none. Automator: [...]
