Sunday Snow…

I watch the kitchen while the others watch TV…
It’s been too long since I’ve done some serious observational drawing. Lately I’ve been using my sketchbook to record thoughts on a certain project, prioritize tasks, thumbnail logo concepts, hand draw type, write down recipes and many other banal life tasks. I’m going to try to dedicate more time to patient observation and recording of my environment. This drawing was done not with my typical Micron pens, but a Staedtler Liquid Point 7 ballpoint pen. It lays down much too much ink for my liking, so I think I’ll stick with my Microns when working in my sketchbook.

BMX – War
I spend a decent amount of time in front of this here computer screen. As I work I’m constantly in search of new tracks that inspire me to keep at it. This band is a standout that has yet to garner significant hype here in the States. Hailing from Queensland, Australia, this quartet crafts bouncy pop that makes you want to throw on your Walkman and cruise down to 7-11 for a slurpee. Inspired by their music, I threw together this graphic to go with their track on my iTunes. It makes me wish I was in Australia at the beach right now…

in the spirit of Hitchcock…
Over the past few years I’ve been amassing a small library of reference material and clip art. When I go out to thrift shop I’ve gravitated more towards the bookshelves than the clothing racks. While I’m still on the quest for the perfect fitted shirt, my thrift library has grown. I could write a book about how graphic design is like producing music, and maybe I will. A designer should know the context that his work will be entering into. Like hip-hop, the design world has always sampled past material. With sampling you can subvert the original message into an idea that’s entirely new. By juxtapozing a few old ads together, the copy takes on new meaning. It’s all about context…
