A new ESPO print entitled “New York” (edition of 125), dropped today at POW. This will sell out by tomorrow I’d guess. ESPO is also having an upcoming solo show at White Walls SF, opening November 14th, which will be very exciting to see.

Pretty neat stuff. It’s cool how it builds the story about you. I wish there were other ways to visualize the data. The color bar sort of falls flat in my opinion, and doesn’t really tell you the story in a meaningful way. Try it out here. About the project: Enter your name, and Personas [...]

Nice article in the SF Gate about Kat Gieger, and Emeryville eco-artist who creates Victorian micro-gardens inside glass terrariums. The motivation behind the terrariums is simple, and well-suited for the urban gardener or anyone who wants to add some aesthetics to their apartment: Her solution: Bring the outside in. And while raised beds of lettuce [...]

While it’s a well known fact alcoholism and advertising are like a pea in a pod, Jameson Whiskey’s new commercial is some of the best TV work we’ve seen since the Dos Equis “most intersting man” spots. Really enticing, magical work that features a giant beat of mythical proportions and a man’s quest into the [...]

Thought we’d give a shout to our friend Ted Pushinsky. He’s an amazing San Francisco photographer, and we just hung some of his prints in our office, so we are truly stoked. Visit his web site and check out more of his photos. Keep up the good work Ted.

This link is old, but it’s worth re-posting, just because it’s simply gorgeous. The artist, Xavier Chassaing, describes it as “an experimental film made up of over 35,000 photographs. It combines an innovative mix of stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.” Stunning and inspirational.
