I think I’m quite good at developing new concepts in most disciplines.
However, it’s difficult for me to think of new ideas in terms of communication between people and technology. I do try.

If you haven’t seen the brass van before. I hope it parks in your neighborhood soon.

I was completely shocked when I found out that Wayman Tisdale had passed away. His wife had taken him into the hospital because he was having a difficult time breathing. As yet, it is unconfirmed whether his death was related to his battle with cancer.

Hey all you kids in San Diego listen up!
Our good friend SKYPAGE is having an art show with Lance Mountain tonight and you should be there – Go find him and have a beer with him. And take some pictures with him. And then send them to me.
Looks like a rad show and I wish I could be there…

I shouldn’t say everyone…. But shame on Newsweek and Quickhoney. I’ll get to that in a minute.
This year TIME magazine published a rather progressive magazine cover – The infamous Obama x Shepard Fairey poster. [I should have clarified, Progressive for TIME magazine] Well, it was pretty cool I guess…

Today my brother unveiled the statue he designed for the Centennial Park in Downtown Tulsa. The statue was originally only supposed to be 4ft tall, but after presenting his designs to the board they decided to move the statue to the corner (the more prominent end of the park) and secure funding to make it bigger. 3 years later and it’s unveiled… The statue now stands over 15ft tall at the intersection of 6th and Boston.

It appears that the Lakers have found their grove. Thank god.
I wasn’t too worried about that though…

This really just happened.
15 minutes ago. I can’t believe it.
I’m driving back down to the office and as I am about to park I see the Cameravan! I’ve seen photos of this thing over the last 10 or so years but I never thought I would run into it by the studio!

Nike SB – If I could have inappropriate relations with your brand, I would.
What I enjoy about the Nike SB brand is that it has always been way ahead of the design curve. [Including - But not limited to: Fashion design, product design, interactive design, print ads, packaging]
One of the geniuses behind driving this brand to success: Michael Leon.
Last summer I caught up with Michael to see how all was going. Read the interview here.
And by the way, I think he is looking to sell his house in Portland… Interested? You should be, it’s amazing: check it.
