Fabio Sasso and the bang-up team over at Abduzeedo are celebrating their 3rd year this month. 3 years is a long time of sharing inspiration, tutorials, advice and design news around the web and the team shows no sign of letting up. Fabio asked me to participate in the celebration by means of a poster giveaway, and since he has been an amazing supporter of me and my work for a few years now I am hugely honored to be a part of the big event. Shown above is my Abduzeedo 3rd Year Anniversary poster.

The inspiration behind this one is fairly simple: 2001: A Space Odyssey mixed with the Star Trek movie posters by Bob Peak I posted last week. I spent a considerable amount of time building the radium lines in this design, and the PSD file topped 1.4 GB near the end, probably my largest yet.

The massive giveaway is underway with lots of amazing prizes including three copies of this poster, so swing on over to Abduzeedo for your chance to win.

Happy 3 years, Abduzeedo! Here’s to many more.

I was having trouble sleeping last night so I decided to pop online for a while to hunt down some visual gems. I happened upon the website of Kristof Saelen entitled VIPs * Very Important Pixels. I’ve seen similar pixel drawings of celebrities and things before, but was struck by the likenesses Kristof can achieve with little squares. Just look at that Kubrick, it’s bang on.

Being a fan of all things 8-bit (or 16-bit), these little guys provided a hilarious moment to my late-night surfing. Kristof is also hosting a contest on his Twitter to win a pixel drawing of yourself. You can BET I’m entering :)

Check out Very Important Pixels for more little guys, as well as Kristof Salen’s website.

I’m happy to announce that Signalnoise has teamed up with the mighty Abduzeedo to host a Tron Legacy poster giveaway.

To enter is simple, swing by the post on Abduzeedo and leave Fabio a comment. You will have the chance to win one of two posters. Pretty easy :)

Big thanks to Fabio for putting this on!

To celebrate the launch of my two newest posters, I will be having a contest today to give away copies of Awesome and Liquid Gold 77. One winner will receive a copy of Awesome, another winner will receive Liquid Gold 77. Winners will be selected at random.

The guidelines are simple, I will announce the retweet phrase at 11:30am Atlantic time on my Twitter, at which point all you have to do is retweet the phrase once to enter. You will have 10 minutes. Pretty easy, huh?

Update: Contest has ended. Thanks to everyone who entered.

I was going through my Signalnoise poster stock over the weekend and came across a couple I didn’t know I still had, the Daft Punk and Atari posters seen above.

I created these posters last year and did a very small print run, hoping to get permission from both Daft Punk and Atari and sell them in my store. Unfortunately I scored neither, so the logos were replaced by what is currently on the posters. See here and here.

That being the case, I will be having a retweet contest this afternoon to giveaway the two posters. All you have to do is retweet the phrase I will supply within the given limited timeframe. Just one entry per person.

I will be giving plenty of notice on my Twitter for all you tweet-peeps, so be sure to keep an eye out :) Good luck!

Update: Contest is closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!

This contest will remain live for 5 minutes as announced on my Twitter. Just drop me a comment on this post to be entered into a draw to win a poster of your choice from the Signalnoise Store. In-stock posters only.

Tick tock, no time to lose!

Update: Comments closed. Thanks to all who entered.

I would like to pass on a huge thanks to everyone who entered the Network poster giveaway. There were 169 entries total, which resulted in a huge list of creative links to follow-up on. I really appreciate everyone who took the time to post a comment!

So, the random number generator spit out the number 3 which correspondes with the comment left by my man Kyle Steed.

Big congrats to you, Kyle! I will be firing your shiny new poster in the mail over the next few days.

My Network poster will soon be added to the Signalnoise Store, but I wanted to do a pre-release giveaway before making it available for purchase. So, here is your chance to win the first copy of Network at 18″ x 24″ on semi-gloss poster stock.

To enter, all you have to do is comment on this post and be sure to include your email address so I can contact the winner. Additionally, drop one or two links in there to websites you follow for art and design-related inspiration. I like discovering new art-culture websites, and this would be a good time to spread the word to others. The winner will be picked via a random number generator I built. No foolin’ :)

I am off to FITC Toronto on Friday so I will leave this contest open until I return on Wednesday, April 29th. Only one comment per person please, multiple comments will be omitted. Good luck!
