Shinya Kimura

I have always loved motorcycles, specifically custom machined ones, but have I gotten bored with the contemporary style and culture surrounding them. This look inside the work of Shinya Kimura seems to have changed those feelings. He has found serenity in his work and the connection to the world that he achieves when riding his creations. “It feels nothing like how violent it looks from the outside.” This quote really says so much about both the freedom of riding motorcycles, as well as the personal level of thinking that Kimura has taken it to. Learn more about Kimura at Chabott Engineering.

52 Bad Dudes

This is a cool project by illustrator and designer Adam Sidwell, which is an ongoing set of portraits of fictional bad guys. The collection of portraits, called 52 BAD DUDES, shows such a fun range of stylistic approaches. This diptych of characters Tyler Durden and the narrator (Edward Norton) from Fight Club is definitely my favorite, to me it really expresses all that good stuff from their relationship in the movie.

Reid Miles HI-FI Album Covers: By Bante

I am blown away by the shear level of awesomeness in this short film by Bante. The main goal was to animate the HI-FI album covers of Reid Miles, but between the direction and the techniques used for the motion and lighting design this film really elevates that simple goal to a higher art form.

DBA Pen: 98% Biodegradable

The tag line for the DBA Pen is awesome (“Think before you write.”). The statement they have made with this slogan brings up the fact that we need to think about being environmentally conscious beyond driving a hybrid car and recycling. Plus this pen looks like a refined version of that classic Uniball pen that I have always liked to write with.

Caled Owen Everitt: Vans Type

Vans have always been close to my heart, so when I found this awesome collection of hand-type vintage looking logo designs for Vans by Caleb Owen Everitt I started freaking out. I seriously want this on like a poster or at the least a t-shirt.

Mount St. Helens

Since it happened before I was born the eruption of Mount St. Helens following a 5.1 earthquake seems slightly like a new discovery to me. The surreal nature and beauty of these photos capturing such devastation is crazy. More photos of the eruption and aftermath are available on The Big Picture’s gallery.

Porsche Museum

I cannot say positively if I have been hiding in the dark or not, but regardless of where I have been I just came across these photos of the Porsche Museum completed in 2009 almost knocked me off my chair. The building is this almost a supernatural mingling of design, architecture and flawlessly powerful automobiles. What more could one want?

Dingbat: by Lucy Brown Studio

This is an awesome little stop-motion animation made for Visual Editions by Lucy Brown Studio. Despite it’s shortness this video has a very light playful feel that made my morning coffee much more enjoyable than normal.

Spiral Shape House: Mount Fuji Artchitects

Nestled on a building lot surrounded on all sides in a densely settled section of Tokyo, Japan sits this amazing little home that in most ways seems to rewrite the rules. Spiral Shape House by Mount Fuji Architects Studio winds it’s way across the land it rests and ties itself into all the best parts of the site. The undulation of the roof and in turn the ceiling inside makes for a visually stunning structure and an interesting use of space that even seems to find an unblocked view through one giant window at the top end of the spiral.

shire vacation 2010

I had a great week off, got a chance to really put my new iPhone 4 through the paces in low service areas, and I am like the rest of the world right now, super impressed with the quality of the camera for both stills and videos. That being said these are some choice shots off my iPhone 4 from my vacation up in the Berkshires with E and Ernest.

To celebrate our birthdays this year E and I decided to spend a week in the Berkshires with my parents, our dog Ernest and his best friend Wellington. The week quickly became a whirlwind of great food, fantastic weather and good company. Not to mention a lot of great beer and wine.

The Full Spectrum by Dwell: TV About Color

Dwell and filmmaker Gary Nadeau have come together to create this new video series, The Full Spectrum, that explores color and it’s inspiration and impact on design and life. The first two episodes feature the work of Joseph Albers, and look inside the brand Seize sur Vingt through the eyes of owner and designer James Jurney. The way Jurney talks about the intention and purpose of color as it pertains to clothing and the design of clothing is really interesting.

Hootenanny Newspaper: Kimberly Chan

I have always loved the use of the newspaper format for exhibition catalogues and related applications. This newspaper called “Hootenanny” was designed by Kimberly Chan, as a promotional piece for the 2010 degree show she participated in. Her collaborators on the project included Stephen Ball, Ryan Van Kesteren, and Tom Pollard. The use of the giant slab-serif H on the front page is a real eye-catcher and if I remember correctly is what initially drew me to this piece.

Shepard’s Birth Announcement: Ty Mattson

I love the way Ty Mattson approached this personal project of designing a birth announcement for his son Shepard. He talks about putting himself back into a boyhood state of mind and all the things that he was enamored by as a kid. It’s awesome to see how few changes there are from the sketch of a great idea to the finished printed piece. Really what it comes down to is craft and execution.

iconwerk

The work of Stefan Dziallas has intrigued me for a while and as a designer I definitely aspire to be as direct in my own work. However I feel like my icons, symbols, and logos are never quite as succinct as iconwerk. So you can imagine that I would be supper happy if there was a way for me to get some insight into Stefan’s process, right? Now we can learn from the best by watching the new podcast put together by iconwerk tv.
