I almost took this week off. You would all survive without these links–I’m certain. I’ll find a time for a Summer break soon, but the link show must go on. In the meantime, if you are struggling to find work and would like someone to look over your resume, portfolio, and such, I’m still offering […]
How do you explain the world when it fails to make sense daily? This year has been a wild ride and shows no signs of stopping. I’m doing the things I can do, but it’s hard. At least there’s cool stuff to look at. Tools GraintouchA drawing app with the soul of print. Inspired by […]
We’re deep in it now. Summer is in full swing, though the days are already getting shorter (at least where I live). I’m starting to lose track of things. The link show rolls on. Someone asked me recently how long I’ve been doing these weekly posts, and I had to look it up: over eight […]
Summer is in full swing—and the world feels like it’s burning, in more ways than one. When I’m not curating links, I’ve been spending time talking with other creative folks about the current state of things. It’s tough out there, especially for designers navigating a brutal job market. So, I’m setting aside time to help—at […]
By the time this post goes live, my talk will be over. I should have mentioned this to you all in last week’s post, but with everything going on in my life, that didn’t happen. I’m excited to give my talk, ‘How Not to Apply for a Design Job’ with UXDX’s The UX of Career […]
I’ve been trying to get on a more regular schedule. I say trying because it’s not happening with any level of success. Change is hard. It’s even harder when it’s built upon years of habit. I’ve read most of the famous books about habits, and I understand the principles. I heard recently that habits are […]
It’s long overdue, but my other side project, Tails Of…, just released our sixth book (it’s #5, since we started with #0), Tails Of… Photographers. Legendary photographer Dave Swift leads this issue. Tails Of is a print magazine about art and skateboarding. Each issue has a theme, and we build the content around that concept. […]
There’s a running theme in the intro to my creative link posts. It goes something like this. 1: How is it (random month, year, or other time frame) already?2: I feel so behind.3: Fuck it, here’s some pretty things to look at–that I had no hand in making (most of the time). I won’t bore […]
I’m tired today. I’ve got no energy for words. Let the links do the talking… Documentary 10 Years with Hayao MiyazakiAn exclusive 4-part documentary chronicling the creative process of the legendary Japanese filmmaker. He is shown as a passionate artisan, a steadfast trailblazer, and a father butting heads with his son. Architecture Ga.o House / […]
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. […]
