Here is some excellent work coming out of Boulder, Colorado by the talented Anthony Dimitre. I have always enjoyed simplified illustration and logos, stuff that might appear on national parks signage or cub scout badges, and Anthony’s ability to capture an image with very few shapes is certainly of that ilk. I want that snail on a shirt.

Swing on over to Anthony’s website for more of his work, and say hello on Twitter.

News: Unfortunately there will be no Signalnoise Broadcast this week as I am busy packing and shipping t-shirts, then am off for a little trip until Sunday. But next week things will be back on schedule with the broadcast, along with more fun t-shirt news. Have a great weekend, everyone!

This Tuesday I would like to post a simple compilation of design talks on TED. For those of you unfamiliar with TED, it’s the premiere source of inspiration and forward thinking on the web with over 700 talks across an array of issues and topics. But for now, here are a few of my favorite talks dealing with art, design, inspiration, ambition and chasing your goals. If you have a little chunk of time to have a watch, or just play these in the background as you work, you won’t regret it.

PS. Thanks so Scott for bringing that Marian Bantjes talk to my attention. Great stuff.

Lets start Monday off with a whole bunch of fun. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time drawing cars, most of which involved the General Lee, the A-Team van or K.I.T.T. all jumping, smashing into one another or speeding down a road. I believe my dad was the one who first taught me to draw the general shape of a car from side profile, making sure I got the doors and windows in the right place.

Well, check out the work of Norwegian artist Fred Lammers, aka Fred Boss. He does lots of other amazing illustration work, but I couldn’t get enough of these cartoony custom cars he had posted on his Myspace. Just love them for so many reasons. Some are long and sleek, others squat and blocky not to mention the attention to detail including logos, striping and beautiful color treatments. He even lays them out like magazine ads from the ’50s. Awesome.

I really hope Fred has or will be working with either Pixar or Hot Wheels in the future because this sort of thing should not go unnoticed in the film/toy industry.

Here is the recorded version of Signalnoise Broadcast 14, which aired yesterday afternoon at 3pm EST. Once again, numerous familiar names attended with lots of great questions and topics. During the hour we discussed the Signalnoise t-shirt launch and the specifics behind production, the strength and weakness of stock photography, Hobo with a Shotgun vs. Hugo Stiglitz, Norwegian black metal, the future of the Signalnoise t-shirt line, pursuing your personal projects, the story behind my Daft Punk poster, and a bunch more stuff.

So, have a look at the recorded version, and be sure to tune in next week for Signalnoise Broadcast 15. It may be taking place on Wednesday next time around, but I will be sure to tweet the time switch. Thanks everyone!

The night before the online launch, I decided to have a “Presale for Pals” at my condo. I invited over some good friends who have been supporting me all this time to have a first look at the new t-shirts before they hit the Signalnoise Store. We had a great time and I managed to get some shirts to some happy folks. Huge thanks to everyone who came out.

My pal Chris Toms took all of these great shots as the evening progressed. Thanks man!
