Quote of the day

"It’s so important to work with a small group of the very best. Anything [but the best], and collaboration risks dragging a good idea down to the lowest common denominator."
Elliot Kealoha Blanchard

*** BIG NEWS! *** (part 2)

So we've decided on a name - Hushpuppy Gallery. We'll be in Grant Park, right across from the old Oakland Cemetery... now on to the interior design, booking artists, lighting, screen printing, etc!!

The most successful ideas don’t have anything to do with any part of the 'design process.'

Joshua Clancy is a freelance designer and artist based in Minneapolis, and has kickass work. There's a great interview with him over at Behance as well.

Hannah Stouffer

Great work from this San Fransisco based artist.

Bioshock is amazing

I usually find it easy to ignore the uninspired videogame world and constant titles that underwhelm, but last night I was in awe after playing the demo for the upcoming game Bioshock. The art direction is mind-blowing, the story, ambience, and soundtrack are all stunning as well. I've never been so impressed by the artistic direction from a game before. Check out the free art book you can download from the art team.
