David Barnes’ Of Montreal Wall Graphics

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I am not sure how I missed this one. But, you can now purchase self-adhesive wall graphics from blik surface graphics for the new Of Montreal Album, Skeletal Lamping. The graphics are designed by David Barnes, the brother of the lead singer. And, they feature the same whimsical art work found on [...]

Chris Bishop’s Warehouse Loader

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Chris Bishop is a Washington, DC artist who paints his two “true loves”—pretty girls and robots.  He does so by combining vibrant colors with simple, bold graphics.  His piece above, Warehouse Loader, is a good example of his work.  The piece combines a seemingly ordinary piece of warehouse equipment with a brilliant orange background. By [...]

Mark Frauenfelder’s Smoking Fish

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

One of my favorite inexpensive ways to add some interest to a room is to purchase a print, and one of my favorite places to shop for prints is Thumbtack Press.  It is a website created “by an artist for an artist”.  It features the work of 50+ artists.  And, all of them have their [...]

Inhabit Estrella

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Redesign

Friday, November 14th, 2008

I have been kind of bored with the old look-and-feel of the site, so I decided to put together a quick redesign to give it some new life. The main goal was to get the content closer to the top of the page, so that it is the focus of the site. The [...]

Dell Art

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

There has been a trend lately that I first noticed with Zune Originals of adding art to consumer electronics.  Personally, I am all for adding a little bit of interest to the normal drab landscape of laptops.  Dell follows on this trend with their Dell Art series featuring Bruce Mau (art pictured above), Mike Ming, [...]

BDI Odeon Media Center

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I was flipping through the latest issue of Dwell and an ad for the BDI Odeon caught my eye.  This media center is an all-in-one mounting solution featuring a low-lying cabinet to hold your gear.  Their website boasts about IR friendly glass and a wire concealing solution to keep your setup looking nice.  I think [...]
