I have recently been working on updating Davinci Graphics website. It’s time to make Davinci modern. The new site will be responsive, clean and hopefully the best one yet. The old one is just outdated and I like to think I have progressed since then. In addition, much of the stationery and identity ‘ish is being redesigned as well. Hopefully within the next month I’ll have some killer Davinci material to add to my portfolio.

Alabama Shakes has been keeping me going this weekend. I find music definitely keeps the creative flow going. Brittany Howard and Alabama Shakes has been the soundtrack to my work week and I thank them for rockin’ hard.

Recently I have struck up a relationship with a great company from the Philadelphia area. Their name is Bright Orange Thread and do great work. Just wanted to give a shout out to the new partnership and give a link for people to check out their stuff.

I’d rather be working for a paycheck, than waiting to win the lottery

As of recently, I have discovered the show Portlandia. It’s probably my newest favorite show. The writers, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) and Carrie Brownstein, are funny as all hell. The post picture is one of my favorite sketches of theirs. So in honor I will list the top 5 things to come out of Portland

1. Portlandia (of course)
2. Portugal. The Man
3. Icky’s Tea House
4. Douglas Engelbart (invented the computer mouse)
5. Microliquor

I saw this video this morning and for a moment hated Apple. I realize wages can’t be the same in every country, but I had more faith in Apple. Suicide nets? Really?

I regularly browse for inspiration as part of my morning work routine. After I check emails, make my daily to-do list and check phone messages, I fire up my RSS reader and start browsing. This morning I found some really awesome work by Harry Campbell. I can’t even remember how I came across his work but it definitely caught my eye. His site.

Old video but still one of my favorties.
