Wes Wilson Rocks!

While I am in a blogging mood I thought I would throw up some links to one of my all time favorite artist/designer's - Wes Wilson. The posters of his absolutely blow me away because everything created is just so unique and individual. The freedom of his creative thought within the works is amazing, plus I am currently into gritty texture/styles. The whole 1960's must have been amazing to witness as it seems to me we are way too focused on "clean" designs in our time for some odd reason. Sure it looks good due to how clean it is (obviously minimalism works!) but what looks better is something with some character and chaos or maybe that is just me. So Wes is a reason why I am steering toward messing all my work up as of late, wherever possible - Luke.

New Year, New Look.

It is a new year and I went for a new look (image from Mervin McCloud dvd). I used that image because it makes me laugh as that whole day of shooting it was great fun. Anyway a blog of interest that I found a while ago is (http://www.thedesignblog.org/) which has some very inspiring items on it now and then, some great (like the lamps) while others are confusing but someone has to do it. I found it through Kanye West's blog and he is pretty obsessed about all forms of creative design (which is also why he has some rocking very visual video clips out now, "Welcome To Heartbreak" for instance makes me want to try video one day). Anyway raving on too much now so off to start on this Zine - Luke.
