Posted in: Uncategorized2010/01 Michael Bierut from CreativeMornings on Vimeo.
In January, Michael Bierut was invited to speak at SwissMiss’ Creative Mornings. His insight on the issue of “clients” is a must see for any working designer. It’s an hour long, but well worth your time.
Thanks Tushar, for sharing

Nick Dewar
Posted in: UncategorizedI was very sad to read that illustrator Nick Dewar has passed away. He was an illustrator that I admired. When organizing The Shatner Show in 2007, I had list of dream participants and I was delighted that someone as talented, busy and well-known as Nick accepted our invitation with such enthusiasm. His humourous silkscreened poster was one of the most popular images of the exhibition. I’m honoured that I had the chance to exhibit his work.
My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
Rifle Paper co.
Posted in: UncategorizedI’m a HUGE Rifle Paper co. fan…I think I saw Anna Bond’s amazing designs for the first time over at ‘a cup of Jo‘ and ever since I keep coming back to see what she is been up to … above is the perfect Valentine’s card and below are some cards I just want to frame…
…and I’m sure you have already seen this great tutorials or DIY project from Anna last year, but reminding you again would probably not hurt you 🙂 … the menu-wheel over at Design*sponge …and the pompom vines over at Once Wed
…and I’m seriously considering ordering a set of calling cards with a Custom illustrated portrait set of myself by Anna Bond!
