i finally got around to watching the maurice sendak interview with stephen colbert, which i partially avoided assuming that it would be nostalgia fodder or hero worship. instead, i found sendak to be hilarious, sharp, scathing and brilliant. you will not be disappointed.
still giddy about working on www.onehourpersecond.com for youtube.

youtube users are now uploading one hour of video per second.
wait, huh? every 1 second (tick), an entire hour of video gets uploaded. wow.
working with the lovely ben tricklebank (founder, ceo and dog walker of punk & butler), i created the illustrations for www.onehourpersecond.com and the accompanying promotional video. overall, a wonderful breakneck project for the fine people at youtube and google.

one of the keys to apple’s success has been spending money on operations. so when apple wanted a special lighting solution that required a laser capable of creating nearly invisible holes, they didn’t just get a few of these special lasers…they bought all of them. for the record, i am pretty sure this is exactly what industrial lasers look like. pew! pew!

IRON AND WINE
If you’ve been following me. I’m sorry. I haven’t posted in MONTHS! I’m really bad at this. I’ve been busy, but starting right now I’m committing to 1 post a day until I’m all caught up.
I’ll start with this Iron & Wine silk-screen show poster. I am really happy with this piece. It was printed by Fugscreens in Chicago. This one, together with my Bonnie Prince Billy and My Morning Jacket posters, completes the Indie-Beards trilogy I’ve been working toward. I went to the NYC show and was surprised to see Marketa Irglova joining Califone as the backing band. What a great performance!
Last night Iron & Wine put the poster up on Facebook and a few of you contacted me about purchasing the print. Unfortunately I do not have any for sale at the moment.
