Brock Davis

 

Brock Davis has more imagination than almost any artist I have recently seen. I was tipped off to his work via Collosal and I just can't stop being amazed.

Laser cut wedding invitations

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw these invitations on Oh So Beautiful Paper. Every detail is stunning, from the little heart cut out of the bottom of the tree to the string tie and tag. Kind of makes you wish there were always occasions for you to send out invitations! Go check out the whole suite.

One man, 100,000 toothpicks

I just stumbled on a fascinating blog called Colossal. I am loving just about everything he has posted, but this piece in particular was wild. In artist Scott Weaver's own words: "Rolling through the bay is an abstract toothpick sculpture of San Francisco. It has about 100,000 of toothpicks. The amazing part, is that is has four ping pong ball paths that roll through different landmarks of San Francisco. I have spent about 3000 hours on it over a period of 34 years and the only glue I use is Elmer’s."

Brand New

I am always interested in seeing and reading critiques when companies come out with either new logos or a refresh of their old branding. Brand New is a site that follows the redesigns and offers insights into the process, comparing type faces, colors and general feel. It makes for interesting reading, especially when you didn't even know that a redesign was in the works for a particular company, like this one for AOL's instant messenger which brings back fond memories of late night chats with friends all over the world. :)

Minted Design Challenge

I have entered the Minted design challenge for wedding invitations. You can view (and vote for!) my submission here.

In the Studio: Poster design

I have been working on a 30th Anniversary poster for a non-profit that I work with. Unfortunately, they decided to go in a different direction and abandon the poster all together, but I thought I would share what I had worked on for them, because I love the way it turned out.
