Eboy Interview at The Flash Blog

I've been digging the eboy team's work for a few years now. Last year I was excited to see them doing some cool t-shirts for Adobe. I almost won one of their shirts a while back, but unfortunately came out the loser. Check out this really cool interview by Mike Chambers and Lee Brimelow. I swear, these dudes are so inspiring.

theselby: Beautiful Homes Around The World

I am one who loves visiting people's homes. This site features artsy apartments from Manhattan to London. It's a great inspiration for anyone who's into arts such as interior design and a liking for nick knacks. I personally like how cluttered they set up their places. I get to look at all the random items which could spark some kind of idea. Yeah, that sounded a little sad. Take it for what it's worth, I'm at a desk all day long.

New Painting + Thai-Lovin

I've been experimenting with acrylics again. Last year, around this time I did a few Colour Pencil Illustrations. It's been awhile since I've messed with paints but as you can see I'm getting my groove slightly back.

May 1s 2008 Reboot

This morning I woke up at 6 in a hurry to my desk. I had some ideas on fixing my portfolio section of the newly (in development) Sweeties and Gangsters site. This site has been in the making (mainly conceptually) since my trip to San Fran last summer. I have done much altering around and finally settled on a strong idea. I have now been in production for a month now. I have to say, it will be quite a complicated site as far as the dynamism. I have never built anything at this level of difficulty - from Design aesthetics to data modeling and structural design. I can't wait to release the beta version May 1st, 2008. I was blog reading a few moments ago and noticed the May 1st Reboot site has been re-designed. It's crunch time now, I have only 4 weeks till the launch of Sweeties and Gangsters; it's exciting!

Winner of Adobe Cut & Paste Competition

Explore by 3 Wagon was completely created with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe AfterEffects. Pretty sweet overall execution, not bad for using 2D Imagery. Check out the Finalist page for more videos.

Erik Natzke's Processing Art

I'm really digging Processing. I bought my self a how-to book today from Amazon. Check out Erik Natzke's ill designs using Processing.




Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.

Homer is human

A colleage sent me this. It was designed by an anonymous blogger. I tried looking up the designer but he has a very vague description on who he is. I guess, if he really didn't want attention, he wouldn't leave water marks. The dude also has an animated image of how he did it.

Design and the Elastic Mind at the MoMa

I spent this weekend hanging with friends. Morning, went to the MoMA with two great friends; After noon, rested and watched August Rush with my other half; Evening, had dinner at Rare with two new friends from L.A.; Night-time, party at my friends place in Harlem(He throws the best "loft" parties and he is also off the hook with the music).

The highlight of my weekend was a trip to the MoMA. Admiringly, I love museums and the fact that the Museum of Modern Art is only ten minutes away from home, it had only been my second time visiting. I checked out their new exhibit: Design and the Elastic Mind. Overall I thought it was okay, but their was one digital display I thought was extremely fun, and heavily interactive. You basically walk in front of this projection, You are then displayed in a silhouette form against the wall. Every motion you make creates a random animation and sound. It was absolutely amazing, I would love to look through that developer's code. I wish I caught the name of the display. Here is a snapshot of my boy Stephen and I playing with this gigamagig.


Another pretty neat thing (not as cool as the one I mentioned above), was this one piece done using ActionScript and Python in collaboration. Cabspotting - Uses GPS technology, cabspotting investigates the complexities of the Bay Region in the context of the Pacific Rim. The application created is called Stamen, it explores visualizations of GPS data generated by Yellow Cab taxis in San Francisco. In this animated map of located cabs in the Bay Area, the city pulses and creates a vivid fast forward of the cabbies moving time line to it's day to day destination.


If you so happen to be in NYC, I definitely recommend checking out the new exhibit on display at the MoMA. Their are displays worth seeing in person. I could go into a couple of others I enjoyed, but I don't want to spoil it for you. The exhibit ends May 12, 2008.
