Sex appeal and braun. Hint of Audi styling while remaining consistent with LR appeal. As seen on the coolist.

Vancouver Convention Logo looks familiar

I was doing a bit of research on the vancouver convention lately, came across their website (very slick) and noticed that there logo reminded me of something… I’m sure it was a coincidence, a fun one considering the agencies responsible are in Vancouver. Regardless of this rumor I’m trying to spawn, the website is phenomenal, love [...]

Designers are plumbers, not rock-stars.

Eric Karjaluoto wrote a great article on the pitfalls of self adoring ‘rockstar’ designers. One in particular bothered Eric enough to inspire this bit of a rant that Designers are not rockstars, but rather plumbers. “We draw stuff and pick type”. Eric is a vocal proponent of design and surely didn’t mean to offend any [...]

It’s been a surreal couple of weeks. With the turmoil of a US client behind me, I can refocus my energies on my bread and butter clients – the ones I mistake for friends and colleagues. And it’s refreshing to be with clients I’m comfortable with, because over the past few weeks it’s been anything [...]

A conversation is so much more beneficial when you listen.

I originally titled this piece: A conversation is so much more profitable when you listen – while that is definitely true, I wanted to broaden the application to not only profits, but business development in general which includes improving relationships, personal directives and a happier working environment. As a creative vendor, I’ve often wanted to close [...]

I trimmed the hedges to make my deck look bigger.

When I started this blog, I was under the impression it would be simple to just jot down some ideas into articles, whenever and however I felt inclined – that was then. Now I realize that blogging is quite a commitment, mentally and physically. I realize this most after being so completely and utterly occupied [...]

Wood project: Lucas’ Rocking Motorbike

artwerk — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:15:43 +0000

For my son’s second birthday I thought to make him a rocking toy in the form of a motorbike. I love woodworking, grew up with my dad in the workshop tinkering with small and large wood projects, and now that I’m a papa, I thought I’d relive the joy of sawdust and slivers. Step 1. Design [...]

It’s been four’ish weeks since my last post because I have found little free time to contribute to this blog. It’s a shame because I have dozens of topics I want to discuss, but neither the time, nor the energy, to explore them on here. Between a grueling exercise regimen, and intense deadlines, as well [...]
