I finally got a Saturday to finish up the bench I've been working on over the last few months. Really, I got it about half way done and left it because I didn't want to buy the wood. Oak can be pretty costly. Still It's nice to have a solid wood bench that goes with...

A quick and easy one today. Just a bunch of nice images this week form junkyard.dogs' photostream. See more here. The baby is due any day now and we're just about ready for her. I'll post photos of her when she comes.

I wish I could remember were I found this so I could give the site credit but I can't. The RGB exhibition is just amazing. Aside from the concept, which is great, what really brings the work to an the amazing level is the scale. Who wouldn't want to see giant amazing creatures drawn realistically...

Spring time is almost here. I posted about Kim Rosen's Surf board a few posts back and thought why not follow it up by dropping by, designer, Emil Kozak's site. He has a lot of new work since my last visit. I especially like the blue cube pattern and the black and white bird shapes....

Some of you may have noticed already. I added a countdown timer to the Farmidable side bar to count down to the baby's due date. Obviously this is probably not the actual day the baby will be born. I think I read that less than 5% of babies are actually born on their due days....

Today's Flickr Friday features the work of artist/designer Dan Mountford. Dan is a Graphic Design student at Brighton University. I first saw his work on Grain Edit and was really happy that he had a Flickr account so I could post about it. As I understand Dan does not use photoshop for his double...

NoteSlate's philosophy is to just keep it simple. Going back to pencil and "like paper" they hope to revitalize the human connection with drawing and writing by hand yet while still adding a layer of technology. The price is great and I love the concept but I'm not sure it's enough. For I'm a...

Why not start off the week with something a bit different. Like many pre-teen boys that grew up in the 80's/90's I was a huge fan of anything Arnold Schwarzenegger. For some reason my dad allowed us to watch movies like Terminator, Predator and Commando but would not let us watch the Simpsons. Terminator 2: The Opera is one...

E-chan's photostream is both professional and extensive. I've taken peeks at his work over the years often but am just getting to posting about it. His recent work is by far my favorite. I really enjoy the graininess of some of his shots aw well as the movement and emotion they capture. Especially the image...

Over the next week or so I'll be rolling out a new layout for Farmidable. Some of you may have already noticed the current layout breaking a bit here and there as I edit the database to accommodate the new layout. One of the purposes of Farmidable is to be a working design where I...

Thanks to Pau & Octavi, two students from Barcelona that are on Erasmus in Slovenia. According to them "if you are Mediterranean and you go on Erasmus in Valcans you do a lot of things but not study". So they use their time not studying to do fun projects. When I lived in Boston I...

I recently came across the work of Kelli Anderson, an amazing experimenter/designer/photographer with an intelectual sense of humor that had me taking double taking as I poured through her work. Kelli studied art history, which makes perfect sense after viewing her portfolio. She is also interested in grids and the organization of information.

I never had an AT-AT as a kid. In fact I didn't really have any Star Wars toys at all. I did get the opportunity to play with them at a friend's house though. Those were the days. This video by the amazing Patrick Boivin is the incarnation of every boy's wish.

Taking queue from a suggestion in Smashing Magazine, Portuguese designer/photographer, Renato Pequito, decided he was tired of feeling like he didn't design enough and would make one design per day. Looking through them all you can really see how the designs play off each other, some designs leading into another while others stand alone or...

Designspiration is a project by photographer/designer Shelby White, the creator of the blog Walken. I love the gridded simplicity and the functionality of Designspiration that lets you sort images by various categories filters and even color. That's why I was super excited when I got invited to join. Posting is amazingly easy which has allowed...

ORDINARY.co is the portfolio of Public School member Matthew Genitempo. I've been thinking a lot about 1 color printing and ORDINARY.co has some great examples. It just goes to show you don't necessarily need color to make a great piece of artwork. Aside from the great design work I like the layout of Matthew's site....
