This delightful piece takes the style of Van Gogh’s Starry night and adds a little comic book flare.

This idea behind the Johnny Cash project is such an interesting and interactive way to involve anyone who wishes to contribute. The entire idea behind making a still picture and placing it [...]

I ran across this design for an alarm clock, and to me it was the perfect example of a larger trend I’m seeing these days. With our group consciousness being flooded with virtual (read: not physical) media, we have very few occasions to actually touch and feel a beautifully designed piece. When we actually feel [...]

I just read a blog article from a coder who developed a piece of jquery that is used in several high profile websites, including Pinterest.
