Playing a game

Proof that gaming too much is not bad for you:



I feel sorry for those who speak German and can actually understand what he's freaking out about...

Moscow rapid transport map

Ran across the rapid transport map for Moscow. I love how clear, functional and colorful it is. I know these kind of maps can be found in cities all over the world, but I haven't seen one that I wouldn't mind hanging on my wall as much as this one...

Especially dig the great representation of rail that circles the city as an actual circle on the map.

I recently rediscovered Cat Stevens. My dad is a big fan of his, which explains why some tunes seemed carved in my head already without even knowing or realizing it was him. Cat Stevens is a English singer/songwriter who was at the height of his fame during the 1970s, but already released his first hit single in 1966. His song "The First Cut is the Deepest" has been covered by many high profile artists such as Rod Stewart, along with many more of his songs. During the late 1970s Stevens converted to the Islam and is now known as Yusuf Islam. He has spent the last 3 decades of his life traveling around the world, spreading peace and trying to teach people to understand and appreciate different religions.

What I enjoy most about his music is the subject and how he approaches the subjects in his songs. He has a very interesting view on the world. I've added a small selection of my favorite songs of his;

Peace Train (1971):


Don't Be Shy (1971):


Matthew and Son (1967):


Wild World (1971):


I Love my Dog (1966):


The best thing is, he has made a new album after not having performed for over 25 years until a few years ago.

Wanderings Tour Poster

Well, we're in the new year! Yay! Anyways, here's the european tour poster I did for Steve Savage.



Have a look at his myspace and tell me if you think the poster fits with the vibe of his music. You can also check the tour dates there, so if you're in the north-western region of Europe, you know where to go!

Foot Traffik

Was asked to do some t-shirt concepts for an upcoming exclusive Nike footwear store in Boston called Foot Traffik. This is one of the concepts, there might be more in the future. I'll be sure to blog a link if these go into production.

Barcelona Pavilion

A prime example of modernist architecture, Barcelona Pavilion by German architect Mies van der Rohe, to me clearly shows how architects think in lines, something I very much personally relate to. It is lines that create a sense of purpose in the positioning of elements in any design.

van der Rohe is known as one of the founding fathers of modern day architecture, as opposed to the architecture that was dominant up to the first and second decade of the 20th century.

Barcelona Pavilion was constructed for the 1929 World Fair in Barcelona, to me it is the simplicity in the design that gives it it's intricate complexity. Sometimes it takes something that looks insanely simple but is in fact unimaginably ingenious.

Here are some of my favorite shots and angles taken from danda.be and here











He achieved this magic floating like look to the building by very smart positioning of walls that carry the structure to make it appear as if they are not, while at the same time making it look like very thin beams are carrying instead.

Also take note of the awesome Barcelona Chair (I know, he's an architect, names appear to not be his strongest point)

Eat the Moon - Will Ferrell

This is so brilliant, Will Ferrell impersonating Harry Caray, a legendary sports commentator.

I know there's another sketch of Ferrell doing Caray which was just as funny, but I can't find it now. I'll upload it when I run into it.
