Threadless


I've always been a fan of threadless but I've never had the courage to buy anything. Although I kindof want this shirt! I may spring for it.

Five Seasons Brewery Westside


I am so excited. My favorite local Atlanta restaurant is finally opening on Marietta St in Atlanta - so I don't have to drive all the way out to Sandy Springs. Its official opening date is May 5.

Just needed to blog my excitement!

Mark Weaver


This dude is incredibly talented. I love the way he merges images in a surreal way to create dynamic compositions that are just stunning.

I have seen his work before, but somehow every time I am on ffffound.com or flickr.com I happen to stumble upon more of his work. I believe he is Atlanta based and it seems that he does a lot of layout and illustration design for Paste Magazine.

Mark, wherever you are here in ATL (or Decatur), I am shouting out to you to say "You Rock"




While doing my Mark Weaver research I stumbled upon  Scott Hansen's blog iso50. Scott is a musician and artist living and working out of San Francisco. His music is pretty rad - check it out.

Scrabble Everyone

Scrabble Campaign...from Ogilvy Paris, trying to bring more kitch and fun into Scrabble in order to reach the Adult Swim audience (apparently). Actually, according to the brief, despite some resurgence of interest from a younger audience due to facebook and iphone apps, Scrabble is still considered an elitist game for an older audience. In order to revitalize the brand and peoples understanding of Scrabble, the company needs to help a younger audience rediscover the richness of words.

The whole point of the campaign is to show how words spawn different words to create a maze of language. This is visually portrayed in a "stream of consciousness" illustrative style.

Each spot is done by a different illustrator and produced at Wizz Motion Graphics studio
