I have been getting through my work days with ease recently with help from a rad music site called newmixes.com. This nifty little gravy pot holds the opportunity to experience some fantastic mixes of anything from dub step to progressive. More recently, the mixes from the most fabulous Flying Lotus, Mary Anne Hobbs and Rusko are getting my creative juices flowing like nothing else. Get in there and listen for yourself.
While trawling through the isles at Berkelouw Books the other day I came across the perfect dirty party reference ‘Last Night’s Party’, a book of images by American photographer Merlin Bronques. I have been pushing my event designs in this direction for the past few months so this is proving to be a fab source of inspiration. Even for those who need help piecing together an outfit to don on their next night of debauchery. See Merlin’s website for more.
A logo I just designed for recently formed Californian hip hop duo Rootbeer, aka Pigeon John and Flynn Adam. These guys have been kicking out some rocking tunes so I was easily inspired to come up with something for them. Check out their latest at the official Rootbeer myspace.
An artistic photo taken by my editor, Greg Barton, of some provoking art on the walls of a building in Sydney known by locals as The Crack House. It smells like pee in there, but well-worth checking out for the walls and walls of creative spirit and random banter. Some other examples below snapped on site taken by my trusty (and still just as cool) gen 2.
Norwegian design studio, Grandpeople, show us where it’s at for the latest image and type treatments. This example is a cd design for artist ‘Juvelen’ (translation: ‘The Jewel’), who must be highly chuffed with his new album image. Juvelen is a pop artist apparently influenced by Prince, so the neon glows and purple taints are oh so suitable. See Grandpeople’s site www.grandpeople.org
Smashing Magazine posts some great inspirational examples of the latest photography from around the world. I have been captured by the motion blur and rain works, however see Smashing Magazine for more examples.
