This one is a "must have" for any serious vinyl toy collector. I love him... he comes with a stick!

Amos Toys

I've developed an obsession with Amos Toys and all things James Jarvis! If I had money to burn, I'd have to collect them all.



I saw this on Ebay...

Do you know how hard it was for me not to bid on this 1873 Monocycle Replica?


Eames Office

I paid a visit to the Eames Office in Santa Monica yesterday. Amazing!

Inspiring Key Art (Movie Poster design)

I work in the world of movie marketing. Here are some great examples of ad campaigns really doing their job representing the movie. They make me want to see the movies anyway...

Posters by The Cimarron Group, Concept Arts, BLT, Art Machine, Crew Creative & New Wave Creative

*Let it be known that I hate Nick Cage for...oh, so many reasons... and it was hard for me to bring myself to post his face on my blog.






Jeremy Fish's Boards

Here are some fantastic art pieces hand-carved from defective skateboards and painted with acrylic. Jeremy Fish creates some of the greatest characters!

Bouncy Balls, Exploding Paint

Here are two stunning commercials for Sony Bravia. No CGI was used in these ads... just a million bouncy balls and a million gallons of (environmentally friendly) paint. It's amazing what a little REALITY can add to the final product! Hi-res video can be viewed at:

Cool Posters

Here are some fantastic posters inspired by some unlikely materials. Beans, Legos, and yarn...I wish I'd thought of it!



"Lovers In Transit" Logos

Here are a few logo explorations that I'm working on this week for a friend's band "Lovers In Transit." I'm trying to find a style that works well with the band's sound and look.



Disney's Reuse

Here are some interesting examples of Disney taking inspiration from themselves. "Jungle Book" and "Winnie The Pooh" have more in common whan you thought!
