Lil' Monsters by D-Bend Studio

These monsters are so cute. I love the apple in the middle, and the severed hand with the mask on the edge of the right side. So cool.

This is amazing! These are book covers by Cardon Webb for books written by Oliver Sacks. I’ve never read any of them, but what a brilliant design idea!

God, steampunk is so awesome. Then again, if this sprung to life, I’d probably die of fright.

Didn’t you guys love School Of Rock too?

I don’t usually like the outer glow, but I really like it here.

A Carmen Update

Posted on 10.09.2011; Categories: Real Life, Starring Me

Yay! Some job updates! I’m working with MOVAAR, a non-profit, student movement, that give students learning experiences through mentoring, project development, and networking to create scholarships. I’m their graphic designer, and I’ve made some business cards, newsletters, fliers, color templates, etc. It’s very exciting!

I’ve also left my internship, sadly – they really were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I got a real job though! I’ve decided to apply for an admin/web design job at Australian Products Company, and while I didn’t actually get the position I wanted, I’m working really hard and the people there are really nice too (I’m fortunate that way) so I’m happy! Plus, like I said on Wednesday, I’m actually planning on getting an iMac as soon as I save enough money. I’m excited about that!

Last night, I went to my first Sharks game in about 15 years, and it was awesome! I had loads of fun, and the Sharks won (WOOHOO!). I don’t bleed teal and black yet, but it was definitely a good time! I’m just glad hockey is easy enough to understand; baseball and football confuse the stuffing out of me!

And that’s all that’s going on with me right now!

These are so cute! I would totally use these on a daily basis. They’re for sale at Land of Nod, but I’m not sure who the designer and manufacturer are.

Fortune 500 by Carl DeTorres

I love the simplicity of this designer. It’s very clean but at the same time, there’s aspects of complexity. It’s just. So. Beautiful. (And he’s from California! Represent!)
