Another new poster design, now that I have been looking at both of the new ones for a few days I think I like this one better than the other one. Let me know what you all think.
The start of a new poster design I have been working on. I'm not really sure what I'm going to use it for yet, but I think it turned out alright. What do you guys think, leave a comment or two below.
Wow is about all I can say about these hand cut pieces from Peter Karras. I saw these over at design crush and I just couldn't believe that they were all hand cut by one person. Seriously though each poster is hand cut and individually set, so no two letters (or posters) are alike. Each is cut out of 22 x 30 natural white Archers paper.
Right now just the vowels are up and ready for purchase, but you can order any of the consonants they will just take 6 weeks or so to complete. I'm kind of surprised it doesn't take more than 6 weeks to complete these oh so intricate pieces. Get yours over at the cutty spot, and check out the short time lapse video at the top of the page, it's pretty cool.
Were you at the inauguration, do you know someone who went. Well now you can see if you can find them. Gigapan.org has a picture that was taken with a robotic camera and weighs in at 1,474 megapixel, 295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera. Canon pulled together over 200 individual shots of the inauguration to make this possible. Each zoom in takes a second to focus, and then you can see some amazing reactions. Double click on any area to zoom in, have fun searching for yourself and your friends.

The tattoo tester from California based graphic designer JuliAnn Miller, is oh so wonderfully clever. The tattoo tester is a kit that allows you to make temporary tattoo transfers onto your body, it comes with carbon paper and transfer paper to help you do so. JuliAnn came up with this kit to help people choose a tattoo design that they know they will love, so that you wont be one of the 6.5 million people who regret their tattoo. The kit also comes with an information-packed brochure on tattoo history and statistics.

Very interesting jewelry design from the Thailand based studio, The Apple Tree. This piece comes from the underground garden silver collection. The apple tree jewelery was founded in 2005 in Bangkok, Thailand, born out of the frustration of being unable to find jewelery that is different from everything else on the market. Therefore, seeking to create jewelery pieces which combine whimsical elements with the qualities of estate jewelery, the brand The apple tree started.

Are you have a bit of trouble naming your new company, well breadline design has a tool for you. The breadline design naming machine is awesome, it has so many combinations, Blue Elephant Interactive was my favorite of the ones that came up. Go spin the wheels a few times and see what you get.
Oh how I do love me some swissmiss, Tina Roth finds all kinds of great stuff. Like this sketchbook for web designers by Vladimir Carrer. You can download the various versions to print here. I have already printed out a few to use, these are gonna be so helpful.
So I put this up a bit prematurely last week some time. So here is the stripped down version of the new poster I have been working on, text will be added later when everything is approved. I'll make sure I get up the full poster when it is all approved.
Beautifully designed double use bracelet designed by Philly designer Megan Auman. Use it as a bracelet that doubles as a coffee cozy or as a coffee cozy that doubles as a bracelet, it is fun and looks good either way.
Megan's work explores the ubiquity of decoration. She is interested in how the same floral forms appear in both textile patterns and decorative ironwork. In her work she takes botanical imagery and distills them into their simplest forms – producing work that is graphic and modern.
Get the cozy/cuff from Megan Auman's etsy shop, along with a lot of other wonderful creations, and check out the rest of her work at her portfolio, here.
I came across this poster done by Rob Petrullo for Ben Folds today. I just like it, nice simple design and great use of empty space.

With Polaroid instant film going away, designs have been popping up everywhere to keep the beloved format alive in one way or another. The Polaroid mirror by Colin O'Dowd is another one of those products the 2mm mirrored glass with white vinyl border is a fun product, that brings back a little bit of the feel of the old school Polaroid cameras. Although it would be so much better if there was some way to treat the mirror so it gave you the sort of washed out colors that Polaroid instant film is so known for.
Get the Polaroid mirror here for $29.
Beautiful "Mini" print wash bag from British designer Paul Smith. Coming in at around $130 it is a bit expensive for a wash bag, but it is lovely and it will definitely set a piece of your luggage apart from the standard run of the mill luggage.
Structured tailoring and exceptional quality are Paul Smith’s forte. Since the designer showcased his first menswear collection in 1976 the Paul Smith brand has identified itself as unmistakably English with the pre-eminent British designer at its helm.
You can get this piece over at harrods.com.
Great poster design from Arizona based designer Ryan Trayte. The poster is for the Andrew Bird/Loney Dear show on Valentines day at the Rialto.
Holy luxury item Batman. The Prada flat messenger bag, available at Barneys New York. The bag is beautiful, but for over $1000 I'm sure I could find something similar at Target for a lot less.

$1,050.00 Nylon flap front messenger bag with adjustable straps, zipper pocket, two patch pockets, adjustable shoulder strap and suede bottom. PRADA jacquard fabric lined interior with leather-trimmed zipper pocket. 13" x 16" x 3". Available in Navy. Made in Italy.
PILLIONRuss Mills, aka byroglyphics, has a bunch of new prints up at his store. Each print is signed and numbered, printed on high quality 300gsm stock. Each is a limited edition of 25 and they come in at 11.75 x 16.75 inches. You can purchase each of them for 25 pounds, which works out to roughly $37 U.S.
I think the one above is my favorite of all the prints, but I had a hard time choosing so if I go back and look at them again I'm sure I will pick a different one. Check out all of the prints out at the byroglyphics store.

So vacation was great, but right now I am sitting in the Phoenix airport, just like I have been doing for the last 6 hours. So we were supposed to leave quite a bit ago, but when our plane was coming into Phoenix it was struck by lightening, and it died. Now that I have re-read that it sounds bad, so let me explain a bit more. The plane was struck by lightening while in flight but it was able to land just fine, but after that they found some electrical problem so they grounded the plane, there that sounds better. Now we are flying a different airline and instead of getting home around 7pm, right about the same time I'm putting this post up, we will be getting in around 5am. Traveling is fun. Hopefully everyone out there is having a better day than me.

Just a quick post before I get back to work. I am going on a little mini vacation to Arizona coming up at the end of the week. So with trying to get a ton of work done at work and getting ready for the trip I haven't had any time to post here on Why Me. I will try to find some time tonight to get some stuff up.
Then when I get back from my trip I will have a bunch of pictures from the trip to put up so stay tuned.
'Polluted Culture: Volume 2' by Jermaine Rogers will be available for purchase at a random time between the hours of noon and 3pm Mountain Standard Time (that's between 2pm and 5pm Eastern) on Tuesday, February 3, 2009.
This serigraph measures approximately 38 x 20 inches and is screenprinted on gallery bond. It is produced in a strictly limited signed and numbered edition of 100 copies. As in the first 'Polluted Culture' print that Jermaine released back in 2005, the 'Fab Four' are again the specimens for another experiment in culture hijacking.
Jermaine says:
"Seeing the totality of modern popular culture as one whole, dissecting it, and re-attaching its parts is a wonderful and satisfying exercise. Years ago, before the first 'Polluted Culture' print, I did an image for a Mudhoney flyer depicting the Beatles as a grunge band...ripped jeans, Chuck Taylor's, and all. Here, I wanted to revisit that aesthetic in a sense. I chose to take the band that many feel are the modern-day torch bearers of the Beatles, U2. The imagery from the 1987 album, 'The Joshua Tree' was always very striking to me. The starkness and weighty aura surrounding the photographs of the band were almost religious...and actually very prophetic in a sense: this was the album that many feel rocketed them to 'biggest-band-in-the-world' status. To depict the Beatles in this modern 'clothing' was delicious. Pop culture belongs to you and me. We birthed it and groom it every day. 'We are the music makers and the dreamers of the dreams'. Culture is ours to hijack and choreograph. Past popular culture is our plaything. We can do whatever we want with it. You don't need a reason."
