I’ve been meaning to post this for a long time, but since seeing WALL•E I figured now was the time. Back in 2005, I came across The Animation Podcast via Drawn!, but being the busy college student I was, I only listened to a few episodes. At the beginning of this summer, I rediscovered it […]

Well, this was an unusual week: usually I find several items to share that all relate to each other. This week, I had a hard time categorizing them. So I guess I’ll just have to group things the best I can:
Adding these to my wish list:

Neubau Berlin has put both of their popular books […]

I’m going to preface this post by admitting that I haven’t seen a lot of the movies out this summer, and I am a huge animation buff…so perhaps I’m biased in declaring this the Best Movie. A close second for me would be The Dark Knight (I love super-hero movies of all sorts). While that […]

I just wanted to take a quick lunch moment to respond to Armin’s post over at Speak Up today about the risks in hiring young designers versus the need to have experience in order to gain experience.

Another week’s worth of great stuff on the web, but first an Fantasy Olympics update: it seems that despite a good start, Austria has slipped to the bottom. Alas!
Re-visiting the Orphan Works Bill debate:
I first posted about this issue here and here, and now Etsy’s Storque puts the debate up to their readers. 
Great Resources:

 If you’re […]

This past month, my family went up to Nebraska for a family reunion. Although I’ve shared the German-love in past posts, I’m actually more Czech than German. The region of Nebraska that both sides of my family are from was heavily settled by Czechs during the late 1800’s, and they brought not only their language, […]

I’m a little behind on posting inspiration, so I thought that I would try and make a regular habit of posting links in a weekly post rather than posting them willy-nilly as they come up in my feed-reader. It’s hard to narrow down all of the items I’ve noted lately, but figure this is a […]

This past weekend I went to the wedding of one of my friend’s: it was a gorgeous affair from the dress to the ceremony, and from the reception to the cake. Jen and I were honored to be asked to help out with designing some things for the wedding:

Above is the monogrammed sticker I designed […]

Designers hate PowerPoint: it’s a well-established fact. In fact, I would say that designers just generally hate MS Office. It’s clumsy, auto-corrects everything you don’t want it to, and hard to control. A much better presentation platform would be presenting a PDF in Acrobat. Everyone has Reader, it looks sleek, gives you more control over […]

In this whirlwind of a week, I almost forgot to mention that my Stained Glass Typography post was a featured link on I Love Typography’s Sunday Type this past week. Thanks Johno! And I’ve finally gotten around to updating my links: you can check them out on the bottom of the far right.
Cheers! and Happy […]
