I’m finding the new groove, I think. There’s been a lot of change, new schedules, patterns, some travel, and life continues to throw curveballs when you least expect it. But, somehow, we continue to get shit done. The next Tails Of… will be here this month. You should subscribe if you like art or skateboards. […]
Given all of the AI hysteria, let’s go back to the classics, Jurassic Park (1993). In case you don’t recall, let me set the scene. Ian Malcolm, the chaos theorist and moral center of the movie, is giving the creator (AKA billionaire with big dreams) a reality check after seeing the scale of the DNA […]
Theres a lot of bad things happening in the world, in the US, and in cities nearby. I try to celebrate the good things: beauty, innovation, and joy of craft in these weekly link collections. It’s hard to ignore the chaos outside. We all compartmentalize things to survive–it’s a survival tactic, however flawed. The link […]
Another day, another batch of links, and I’ve still got more stuff I want to do before I rest. I’ll get there–it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. I just posted my fifth Phase post (article or whatever). I never thought these would be easy to do. It’s harder than […]
One last batch before the year ends. Since I took last week off, this one is chock full. Hopefully, you are doing something fun on New Year’s Eve, and you find these links later in the week. If you are looking for even more, I quietly dropped another Phase post last week. See you all […]
We’re winding down and with the chaos I’ve got a short and sweet set of links this week. Next week should be better–gotta end strong. Advertsing “It still blows my mind just how small the sculptures were”: How we Made Samsung’s Micro MiraclesWe go behind the scenes with ManvsMachine on this Brand Impact Award-winning film. […]
Since my last post, so much has happened. I gave my first design talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ (view the recording, thanks to SDXD), and then I gave it again the following day at UCSD’s design career event. There was a bunch of work stuff, and then I flew to where […]
We’ve come so far. The end of the year is just over there, out of reach, but you can smell it coming. There’s still work to do, books to read, and goals to knock out. Did you ever have senioritis? If you are a high achiever, probably not. If you are easily distracted, like me, […]
A busy, busy little October. I’ve been getting shit done, executing new projects, and maintaining the usual stuff (these posts). Phase issue 2 is live. I’m doing a talk in a few weeks with SDXD in San Diego. It’s called ‘How NOT To Apply For a Design Job’. It looks like it’s sold out already–damn. […]
It didn’t happen in September as planned, but my new project, Skate Book Club is live. If you missed the first issue, check it out here. Each month, we’ll bring you some of the best books we’ve found (or unearthed) in the skateboarding community. A huge thanks to my collaborator, Natalie Porter who helped me […]
