Modernist Gingerbread Houses
Of all the Christmassy design related things I’ve seen recently, these would have to be my favourites. They’ve been created by some of Vancouver’s top architects and designers and each will be auctioned for charity. More info here (and you can click on the images to see more pics). Yum.

From Sketch to Vector Illustration
I’ve been meaning to share this tutorial from Go Media for ages. It covers, in detail, how to transform your sketches and drawings to into slick linework using photoshop and illustrator. It’s one of the best, most comprehensive guides I think I’ve ever seen. It covers all the ‘I wonder how I do that bit’ questions like: ...
teenormous opportunity
Just a heads up on a bit of an opportunity. Teenormous are looking for suggestions for artists to add to their massive t-shirt search engine.
“We need artists with great designs overall – not 2 stellar ones and 12 so-so ones. ALL stellar.”

Tim Burton at the MoMA
Just a follow up to my last journal. Joan Warburton has visited the exhibition at MoMA today and has put together a great write up over here. If you’re a Burton fan, it’s worth a read! She’s also written a great one on the Bauhaus exhibition...
Tim Burton at MoMA

If you’re not sure what I mean, take a look at these works from rubyred...

A couple of weeks ago (which seems like a lifetime online) we messed around with an idea called RedBubble Pirate Radio. People posted short recordings of their voices, dedicated their favourite tracks in tribute to other bubblers, read their poetry and grappled with basic sound recording technology. Since I …
Naf4d answers the tough questions ...
I don’t get to peer inside the minds of t-shirt designers quite as often as I’d like to so as a small step towards righting this wrong, I bring you the secret thoughts of Naf4d (aka Nathan – I hope I’m allowed to reveal that classified piece of information). He was kind enough to let me raid his photo album and subject him to questioning so we could get to know him a little better. So without f…
Nemo Gould: He Makes Robots
Another day, another little snippet of inspiration in the form of a talented guy who makes robots and other characters out of found objects and retro parts. Nemo Gould collects junk and sees faces in found objects. Enjoy …
