I was asked by the kind folks over at Smashing Magazine to participate in their monthly wallpaper gallery, so I put together a design based on a previous logo/icon study. Strongly influenced by the NBC logo, I wanted to create something that still had the cosmic feel of my other work but maintained a 70s broadcast approach.

You can have the wallpaper with the July 2008 calendar, or a version without.

Go check out the post at Smashing Magazine to download the wallpaper at four different sizes.

This new piece entitled Good Night and Good Luck, the saying made famous by Edward R. Murrow, originated as I was once again messing around with unused vector parts from a previous client job.

I’ve been a big fan of Eric Tan’s retro stylings after coming across an X-men poster he did a little while back. Eric’s work does not only nail the poster aesthetic prominent in the 40s and 50s, but his composition and color choices bring with it a certain joy and optimism. It’s obvious he puts a lot of heart into his work, which is probably why he is such a wonderful fit for the talented folks over at Pixar.

I was thrilled when I started seeing Eric’s Wall•e posters emerge. Via Abduzeedo.

I’ve been waiting on the edge of my seat for Wall•e for over two years now, and it opens in theaters tomorrow.

I was recently given the wonderful opportunity to work on a Toyota campaign promoting the 2008 Matrix. I was supplied with a rendering of the car and I was to create three unique designs based on characters in the campaign. Being a metalhead, I leaped at the opportunity to create a modern car with flames and rivets.

This project felt like I was designing real Hot Wheels cars. Needless to say, I had a blast working on these.

We had an equivalent concept here in Canada, but this campaign never made it north of the border. But this was a part of the Your Other You campaign in the US.
