The Mountain - Daily Inspiration
Posted 04/28/11

I regularly scour the web to find anything to inspire me creatively. Most of the time I find inspiration in my own design comfort zones: web design, typography, color theory, etc. Sometimes I find inspiration when I'm not looking for it. That is what happened this lovely morning with a video I found via a Twitter post titled "The Mountain". After watching, I was filled with the urge to create something. I grabbed my sketchbook and am now going to town. Later, I want to grab my Nikon and head out on a photography mission to find something wonderful.

I'm so lucky to love what I do. Are you doing what you love? If not, why not? Life is too short to not be enjoyed.

Rolling Through the Bay
Posted 04/27/11
"Thirty five years ago I had yet to be born, but artist Scott Weaver had already begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay, that he continues to modify and expand even today. The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple “tours” that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he’s constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he’s spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world: I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at our wedding."

Mumford & Sons
Posted 04/26/11
There has been a lot of really good Scottish bands making their way into my collection as of late. The latest that I've found is the above Mumford and Sons. So good! If you like that and want more, I highly recommend "We Were Promised Jetpacks" and "Frightened Rabbit" as well. Real good music folks!

Animated GIFs
Posted 04/25/11
Image Property of Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg "Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg's animated photos turn the medium of choice for 4chan trolls into something approaching high art." The art of using slight animation to "savor a passing moment". Very cool usage. I'd love to get into making these. View More Animations on their Tumblr »
