A Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg creation. The necklace is made of silicone rubber that is cut by water jet according to a computer simulated pattern. The result is an organic network of distorting ellipses, creating a sense of movement and tension. A sliding closure allows for variable lengths.

You can get one from the Moma store HERE.

Barbara Kasten

Barbara Kasten is a artist with roots in many different medium. She is well known for constructing beautiful compositions and photographing them to make dream like landscapes, interesting textures, and beautiful forms.

From what I can see it seems she mostly uses a combination of glass and mirrors for her constructions and then pairs the forms with dynamic lighting to create her images. 

She has more great work at her Website.

Evolution of Type

Andreas Scheiger is a graphic designer who is based in Vienna. He works mostly with experimental type, letter sculpting, and vintage information rendering.  


A project of his I find particularly interesting is his works Evolution of Type.

Evolution of type is inspired by "The Alphabet and Elements of Lettering" (1918) by Frederic William Goudy, one of the most famous type designers. Each piece is strange, creepy, and beautiful.

Fishscape

The coolest fish bowl I have ever seen. I have a beta named Gregory that I spoil (I know its sad) and if I had 140 bucks to blow on him I would love to get this for him.

The Bowl is designed by aruliden and has won the 2011 Red Dot Design Award. Their website says that each bowl is hand made and unique.

Book Covers

Some book covers I made for a class of mine. The assignment was to choose three books to make covers for. I decided to choose three of my favorite war novels and try and bring a some class into them. 

Usually war novels have huge screaming red type with fire and airplanes and guns and man stuff and no space left for anything to breath! Ugg. I came into this project with the intent to keep things light but not to loose the feel of the book.

I chose the books White Night by William H. Lovejoy, The War in 2020 by Ralph Peters, and Pillars of Fire by Steve Shagan.

I ended up with two covers for Pillars of fire because about half the people I ask which do you prefer choose one and the rest choose the other.

Typo Soccer

At last typographers have a sport to be excited about! 

This amazing video is the result of a Konstfack (a swedish college of arts, craft, and design) 3d type workshop. 

Glenn Ligon

Glenn Ligon is an American conceptual artist whose work explores race, language, desire, sexuality, and identity. Much of his work is done through strong demonstrations of typography and space.

His work with lights is beautiful and simple. His use of type and space to create impact in a simple statement is amazing. 

And his print media is not a social standard of perfection but still has beauty. 

Image Transfers

Theses are some image transfers I have been working on for a project. I will be continuing to work with this medium and hope to soon have a successful complete piece.

The process is all a game of chance and looking for happy accidents that happen. 

I enjoy the dimples and rips and distorted lines that happen. It makes each 

piece unique and interesting. 

The lines tend to cone out with a strict but organic style. Color can easily change

 the whole feel of the piece. The exploration and chance that has to be taken with this process is both rewarding and frustrating. 

All these images are made by me, and are mine. 

Raincoat

A great raincoat design that is both practical and beautiful.

The article from notcot.com says "they use heavy TPU/ Urethane to provide structure to the 100% waterproof outerwear pieces using heat sealed technic for the seams". This makes the coat light weight, not over heating, and perfect for rainy california weather. The jacket is ideal for more then the california climate. In maryland the weather 

in the summer is always humid with a chance of rain making this a 

ideal jacket for them as well.

The coats come in three impeccable designs and two colors(tan, and burnt grey). 

To read more on the coats and to see more images head over Here!

Swissted.com is a website dedicated to swiss design. The work is simple and beautiful and I will probably post more images from this website as time goes on.

Periodic Table

Shoe Study

In a class of mine we are working on designing shoes and this is a test/study of how to assemble a shoe. Since making this test shoe I have changed my idea for my final product. I still find this study to be charming and simple, maybe later on I will expand on this idea.

This shoe was cut from a simple template provided by teachers at VCU

The toe is canvas, the brown is thickly painted paper to represent leather, and the details are done with braided hay. The shoe is assembles by sewing and glue.
