The graphic above says it all . . . who are you?
I’m one of those nerds who checks out the web stats almost every day to see who is coming to my site, where they’re from, and how they get here. Based on the numbers, I know there are a lot of you design kids out there checking things out yet I have only gotten to know a handful of frequent comment leavers. You know who you are, and you’re awesome.
So for the rest of you, here is your chance. Drop me a line in the comments and introduce yourself. Where do you work? Where are you from? What are you into? What are you working on? What’s your website link? Whatever you want to say, do it.
Us designers have to stick together, man, so step on into this post and lets all shake hands.

I’ve been visiting your site for a while now, I love how it’s a mix of your work and the work of others. You introduced me to BoingBoingGadgets, love that site! :-) Your site offers such a nice selection of simple inspiration that I visit almost daily.
I work for Sony in San Diego, making websites for video games YAY! But will soon be up in Seattle, WA.

Check out some of my work.
When I stumbled upon your site a little over a year ago, I thought that it was nice to see someone else who had a jonesing for retro TV graphics as much as I did. Now I think it’s even nicer to see someone so interested in their visitors.
Cheers, James.
Hey James,
I’m a design student from Minneapolis, MN. Found your site on accident one day and haven’t stopped checking since. I focus a lot on modernism and type. I love the clean rigid haha.
Keep it up!
Hey James,
I am an engineering student from West Bengal, India. I am kinda Geeky, as my friends say, but I don’t think I am enough to meet the Geek criterion. I like this design stuff. I came across your website from Smashing Magazine. I really liked your blog, and will be subscribing to your feed…

Hi James,
I am developing software for embedded systems. It must be a year ago since I found your blog and I really love it. I am actually not the kind of person who often visits art exhibitions and I am not talented at all in painting or graphical design. Nevertheless I really enjoy your blog, especially the inspirations corner. It lifts my spirit especially during the stressful times.
Keep on the good work!
Hi James, amazing work.
I’m not a designer but a film director.
I love to check your blog frequently, not only to discover your new work and tutorials, but to enjoy your amazing “inspiration” posts.
Keep the great work!
Hello there,
Great initiative!
Checking out lots of blogs around the web, like your posts a lot, you are straight forward(probably bad english, you have to excuse my grammar, i’m just a simple guy from Amsterdam) in your style. great!!
You must be bussy, making great stuff, checking the web, posting and keeping up your social life…big up man!!
thanks for your effort, really an inspiration for all of us
regards Kris

Hey there!
I came across your work in a post by Smashing Magazine called “Beautiful Photoshop Illustrations from Artists Around the World”. Pretty great stuff you produce, my friend.
Visual merchandising is my regular job and have started designing websites in my spare time. I love finding new art/artists and am very glad I came across your name! Also cool that you are a fellow Canadian as I’m from Victoria, BC.

Hi James,
Long time reader, first time commentor.
I am a designer/programmer living in Houston, TX. Like you, I’m a metalhead who gets to make a living with pretty colors.
My day job is the lead Flash developer at a company that sources IT and design work to clients. Our primary area of business is e-learning, so there’s quite a lot of timeline-based courseware involved, and drudgery business-ey sites.
I also freelance on as wide a variety of projects as possible, from building site backends to video motion graphics. Unfortunately, much of the work is either not visual, or is so wrapped in NDAs that I can’t get a decent screenshot out of it.
I follow your website for the pure inspiration. I subscribed to another site I think you actually recommended at one point (Fubiz), but they seem more about self-aggrandizement (all their links point to their own site) than about inspiring and connecting artists. The inspiration you find in others’ work keeps pushing me to find inspiration in things I might not have considered before.
Thanks being who you are, man.
Just wanted to say that i really enjoy your design style. You and a few others really inspire me to do better and to push myself. And i always say to myself that i am one design away from greatness. lol. Take care James. :-D
