OnePrayer – paint piece 01

OnePrayer began this week with a bang. Here’s a little NewSpring specific piece we built to compliment the series and serve as a transitional element.

BROWNSTONE

Meg would really love this (I remember Oz, honey). Here’s something for a rainy day…

Trippy

How do you define trippy? Here’s how I define it tonight.
- running in the dark
- ran to the NewSpring building to pick up my Jeep, which I’d left there over the weekend
- slowed to a walk upon entering the parking lot
- listening to a tune on my iPod I’d written (featured here next week), which was inspired by Brian Eno
- saw several deer in the shadows walking across the parking lot

So, to summarize: tired from run, listening to space music I wrote myself, see deer in a parking lot that will, in 12 hours, be packed with cars. I feel like something out of The Doors movie.

(and I didn’t have a camera)

Oh this is good news

Love Timbuk2. Love Threadless. Love the idea of them together.

MUTO

I really like this. Although at about 1:18, I was reminded of the headcrabs from Half Life. Anyone else think so?

Sony

Sony’s at it again. This time with thread.

Excellent Book Covers

Excellent Book Covers and Paperbacks from Smashing Magazine.

These are two of my favorites:

Penny

This is fun. Gardner put a penny on my bumper, oh, a month or so ago. It adhered itself and hasn’t come off. I finally unstuck it last week but left it laying right there on the bumper (you can see the original location). It’s hung on, loose, for a week. There must be some serious updrafts happening to keep it from falling off.

It’s the amazing penny. I wonder if I can sell it on eBay? Not sure how to categorize this post, I’ve settled on the “art” category in hopes to have this image immortalized in a museum somewhere. Any curators read the AV Club?

Javan Ivey

Javan Ivey has a great piece (includes a “making of”). Go watch, you’ll appreciate. I love organic, non-computer generated imagery, and this technique tops it. Well realized.

endeffect

I am loving the wallpapers and portfolio over at endeffect. One of them graces my laptop at this very moment.

Stuck Open

We began the Stuck series this weekend. The opener was a fun one; melancholy, and the summation of our team’s collaborative efforts. I definitely think the tone works well for the message Perry’s teaching. (plus it features some great Will Rodes photography, Blankenship typography, Coleman rotoscoping, and NewSpring staff beautiful faces… all looking sad and dejected).

Light scupltures

Love these light sculptures. Beautiful. Not sure if they’d fit in my house, but my office would work nicely.

Send some holiday love… write it in the stars.

Just in time for a holiday design, free snowflake vectors.

Thanks, Ben, for making beautiful art.

Pretty photos

I’ve been enjoying getting to know my Canon SD1000, learning about the manual modes. Here’s a few shots taken over the past few days… and some concepts for our upcoming Stripped series.

Jen Stark

I’m enraptured by the beautiful work of Jen Stark (via WWFT). I’m becoming increasingly interested in hand crafted art and using it in the digital realm. These pieces are stunning.

Tavo Ponce / MADinSpain

This is a gorgeous, intricately paced piece by Tavo Ponce for MADinSpain. (watch it here).

Hendersonville wall

I love this wall in downtown Hendersonville, NC. One of the first shots snapped with my Canon SD1000 this past weekend.
