1. Charles Barkley is a character out of a cartoon world and these “rare” photos from SI show a glimpse into the man they call Chuck. –> Rare photos of Charles Barkey via Sports Illustrated
2. Adobe Photoshop turned 20 recently and it’s been my buddy since late in version 2.5 (no layers…if you can imagine that). Complex magazine did a great piece detailing the 50 greatest moments in Photoshop. –> 50 Favorite Moments in Photoshop History via Complex
3. Josh Cochran created this sweet new print called “Zombies Vs. Unicorns.” It reminds me of Fort Thunder, or more specifically Brian Chippendale stuff–and in a good way. –> Zombies Vs. Unicorns via Kitsune Noir
4. ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series is in full swing and the one I’ve been waiting for is getting out there now. “No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson” directed by Steve James (“Hoops Dreams”). –> No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson via ESPN 30 for 30
Finger Painting with Brushes app
I did this “finger” painting yesterday while the 2nd blizzard of 2010 hit Philadelphia. There was no bird, I made that part up. This was done with the very popular Brushes app for the iPhone and it’s partner desktop app, Brushes Viewer. Click below to watch an animation of my painting. The funny part is that the animation doesn’t record my strokes, but instead, builds the painting from the bottom-most layer to the top. –> Bedroom Window animated

New Patterns & Pixels
I love to experiment with patterns and if you know me at all then you know how much I like pixelated icons and forms. I’ve been doing a lot of repeat patterns lately and here’s a sampling of the new ideas. The top row: Right, expansion of an arabian pattern. Top Middle, I call this one bodies. Top Left, This one is inspired by Donkey Kong Jr. The second row: Bottom Right, this one is a hexagonal repeat that I call enemies. Bottom Middle, Fire Flower repeat, inspired by Mario Bros. Bottom Right, spinning scorpions in two color ways.
