Shepard Fairey (“Obey Giant”) and the Obama Hope image was featured Wednesday night on CBS News with Katie Couric. Here’s the segment.
Here’s the infamous HOPE image (aka. “Obama is Hope”), along with others that Fairey created before (and after) the historic election day this past Tuesday, November 4, 2008:
I haven’t checked out Threadless in a while but am glad I signed up for the newsletters. I ended up buying this sick one by Michael Valaderes Ferreira entitled, “Ninjas vs. Luchadores”.

Man oh man… I’m diggin’ the works. Truly one of the gifted artists I draw inspiration from, Evgeny Kiselev:
The diverse work of Evgeny Kiselev oscillates between the rigors of symmetry and prolific excess. Several compositions begin with vivid tiled patterns that are mirrored again and again until they can no longer be contained and are forced to push beyond the confines of their logic. Others, emerge from a single outline that manifests the controlled lawlessness of the work. Each piece achieves a complexity of color and layer that continues to build infinitely into the space of the page creating a warping spatial depth.
Here are some of Evgeny Kiselev’s pieces that I dig of the bat (click thumbnails to view larger versions):
I finally got to check out what all the talk is about with Skitch.
Skitch.com + Skitch = fast and fun image sharing.
Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing.
Currently, I use Paparazzi to take screengrabs/screenshots of sites/design I feel interesting. Before getting my MacBook Pro, I used a Firefox plugin called Screengrab.
Meanwhile, my first impression of Skitch in adding it to my workflow of documenting sites/design snippets is pretty good. The auto upload feature to Flickr alone is good. I just hope it provides another feature, well a couple:
With the latter, what I am trying to say is that currently, I still use Paparazzi to grab the actual webpage, and then “copy (the) image” into Skitch’s canvas to upload it to Flickr; at least I haven’t found out a way for Skitch can do it automatically as I’ve only spent 10-minutes on it so far.
Anyways, Skitch is providing to be better than I expected; especially when I need to do snippets vs whole webpages. I guess the only application I can compare it is with ScrnShots.com’s tool, ScrnShot Desktop. However, I would give point to Skitch as it can just upload to your Flickr account and others, while you’re just stuck with having it ScrnShots (respectively).
PS. I do give a point to ScrnShots.com’s tool as it work with Windows as well.
