I really love this coffee info graphic. It’d make a nice poster in my office.

At the gas pump

I don’t know why I find the images around the gas pump so interesting.

But I do.

Really I do.

What’s not to love about these Civil War styled Star Wars illustrations.

Hipsta-paint-store

Don’t worry, we’re not painting the outside of our house this color (though wouldn’t THAT be awesome?), but I like the way the hard lines feel like some sort of mod 70s illustration.

Nanoloop composition

I’m a big fan of Nanoloop, both the iPhone app version and the GBA hardware version. This composition is just downright impressive.

Found images

Meg and I spent the past few days enjoying some time away. Occasionally we’d find ourselves in a store where the typical dude would find himself bored (can you say Marshall’s?) but I made the most of these opportunities hunting down interesting patterns. Below are my favorites from this little exercise.

Here’s something I came across today.

Hipstamatic + fisheye

ken — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 21:09:58 +0000

You think this would get old. But it doesn’t.

Downtown GVL

I love Greenville’s downtown.

Hipstamstic carwash

Today’s hipstamatic adventure involves taking photos from within the carwash.

Botanical hipstamatics

Today’s hipstamatic theme is “retro botanical” and here are the results.

Hipstamatic vs Wilmington

ken — Sun, 16 May 2010 15:43:57 +0000

Taking Hipstamatic shots makes me feel all artsy and creative.

And Ben’s riding a giant rabbit.

Today’s hipstamatic photo

ken — Fri, 14 May 2010 20:11:41 +0000

Today’s hipstamatic photo comes from my trip to the dump. G insists that we circle the entire complex and examine the function and purpose of every bin.

Sparebots

I’m intrigued by these bots made from spare parts. I have a feeling G and will be constructing some over the weekend.

You don’t always have to innovate

ken — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:00:32 +0000

Sometimes I run up against my own personal challenge of feeling like I always have to innovate, always have to create something new. But reality is I need to focus on communicating effectively. So in this piece I focused on the script, timing, and tone… and leaned heavily on Mr. Andrew Kramer’s lessons for the visual identity. You don’t always have to reinvent the wheel (though sometimes that’s fun), but you do have to succeed in getting your message across.
