I loved Obamas campaign logo, it was strong, elegant and so damn different from what we are used to seeing from candidates in presidential races. And it works, it really works.  One of my favorite blogs LogodesignLove had a great writeup with pictures of the logos that did not make the cut from the design team. There are some interesting ideas so I wanted to share them here. Also included are clips from Sol Sender who is now at VSA (man those offices look sweet).

Part 1 of the interview

Part two of the interview along with a few of the logo Ideas after the break.

So Boston.com is running this amazing 3 part set showcasing photography from events that impacted the world in both positive and negative ways. This is seriously some amazing stuff that needs to be seen and shared. Sometimes through schedules the days and hours just fly by and this feature is a really good way to reflect on 08. More pics and full links after the break!

Man oh man I still have not finished all of my shopping. Im about to enter full on panic mode this weekend haha. I hope all of you guys are having a great holiday thus far. I’ve decided to go full on with the children’s story  I’ve had tossing around in my head for a year or two now. Definitely will post more here once I get things closer to production. Probably be a month or so. So the website is finally up. Its not 100% as there are still things that need to be added but I desperately needed something up.

Snowstorms about to hit boston in a few hours. Its gonna be awesome

Another skull print, finished this one up earlier in the week and getting it ready now to get printed. Im gonna get a small number of shirts and hoodys run so if you’re interested let me know and I’ll get some extra. I’ve always loved old tattoo art and especially skulls, I have an idea for 4 more skull prints so this isnt the last of the dead heads you’ll see from me hehe.  Before you ask Black Bart was a very famous pirate who was killed in battle and buried at seas. For more pictures and info hit the break!

Raine magazines 4th issue is ready to launch, this one was a douzy. I think its been a solid 4 months of back and forth on this one at this point with finalizing it up but its finally here. We’re launching the new website along with the print and web versions of the magazine. Its been crazy making all of the content for both the print and web versions (at two different sizes none the less) along with designing the new website and content for the websites.  But its done, just going over some final bugs and we launch. Lots of cool stuff planned for it that Ill post about as soon as I can.

Now about my website, its something that I have been without for almost a year now. Im the worst when it comes to making sites for myself, Im never happy with the design and by the time i do settle on one I end up redesigning it before I finish it haha. So Im using wordpress and forcing myself to get something up. Pretty happy with it so far. Ill be putting up the portfolio section later today and adding stuff as I go during the week.
