Posted by ryan as Apple, Technology

Any who has ever used an iPhone is excited about the new one coming out very soon. I know I am. The rumor mills are going crazy with this stuff of course. The website The Green Room has created a nice info graphic that show cases all of the rumors that have been floating around lately. I can’t wait to see which ones can be crossed off this list as true.

Sterling Hundley Illustration

Posted by ryan as Art, Illustration, Inspiring, Painting, Style

I come across so many talented artists, and its almost overwhelming the amount of talent out there. This site was going to be a site that featured many of these fine artists, but my lack of due diligence has left the blog posts nil on this and my delicious account very active. In an effort to change that though, here is a great and very talented illustrator named Sterling Hundley. His work is filled with great textures, patterns, and an excellent choice of color. I am impressed with a lot of his work. You should check out his site at www.sterlinghundley.com. Also check out his blog and get more information about his process and profession. He refers to his blog as Advice in his navigation so its going to be worth you while if you are interested in illustration and have a desire to learn.

Hey, show me your knits!

Hey, show me your knits! is the blog of Breane Martin. I met here while living in L.A. She is pretty awesome and I could go on with the stories from that time but I would rather let her own site do the talking. She has a passion for knitting and music. Not a bad combo, so check out here site Hey, show me your knits!

Knits Going Down

Posted by ryan as Art, Motion

So I just came across this cool musical animation that was created using “over 700 real world knits”. When you think about how easy it is to create this effect in a 3d application and well crafted texture map you have appreciate the soul put into this project. Its the kind of approach I back every time. Even the most cliche ideas will have a touch of originality when approached with a hand crafted approach. Not that I am suggesting the cure for the cliche is a simple approach. I’m just saying that I’ve seen it make the difference at times. A human touch can go a long way, and that ultimately is what you should take away from something as well done as this.

The Guy Mariano Story

Posted by ryan as History, Inspiring, Skateboarding, Style, Technology

I’m not sure how many of my readers follow the Epicly Later’d series of Guy Mariano, but its great. I’ve been seriously inspired by Guy’s skating ever since I became aware of skateboarding. I used to watch his Public Domain part and go out and attack Bradner the best I could. Ha. Seriously though, you need to watch the 10 part series if you haven’t already. For those that have, I know you will want to watch it all again. So get clicking. All of these are of course on www.vbs.tv and you should definitely look into all of the videos they have posted. Great stuff.
