CELEBRATORY DESIGN #100: WHERE’S BEARS

Very, very excited to post my 100th design for this year. I’m amazed that I’ve created 100 unique designs in 7 months – it’s been a blast.
Thanks to my March drawing challenge, I have to say that I now enjoy having just a paper and pen in front of me (it hasn’t always been that [...]

MAD MEN CRAZY

The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy. Mix that with a little sunshine and you get a big lack of blogging. In the meantime and until things settle, I’ve decided to profess my love for MadMen (Season 4 starts Sunday evening).
If you haven’t seen MadMen, you’re missing out big time; there is absolutely nothing [...]

SHAMELESS PLUG FOR STITCHMIX

While most people say they tend to shy away from promoting projects or events they have a personal connection to, I’m here to say that I don’t. I have absolutely no problem putting in shameless plugs for things with which I’m involved. What better way to get the word out?

DAY #81: DAISY, DAISY…

We’ve decided to buy folding bikes.
During the past couple of weeks I’ve found myself digging through folding bike forums, searching for the best bike that falls within the amount I want to spend. The folding bike is absolutely perfect for the amount of space we have (insert plug for WeeHouse – my future dream home), [...]

Tonight is going to be a double-header for Design a Day. This design didn’t get posted last night because my bed was calling louder than my blog. Lame-O.
This whimsical photo by Ibai Acevedo looks almost exactly like my friend Andrea at Sparrow Sparrow. She’s a really great designer who is also participating in the Design [...]

DESIGN #12: TO BE IRREPLACEABLE

For some reason I love (did I say LOVE?) couture fashion photography. I realize my image of the day is not couture, but that’s what inspired this outburst. The design feels like a dance party and I love it! Technotronic anyone?

DAY #3: MATH IS EASY

Looks like I’m on a vintage/retro kick this week. I found today’s quote on a really great site by Chris Coyier called Quotes on Design. It’s interesting, thoughtful, funny, and a great time killer.

GOALS FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR

You’re experiencing a first ladies and gentlemen – I’ve decided to create a few goals for 2010. At some point, I read that people who write down their goals, are 33% more successful in accomplishing their goals than those who simply formulate them. So, for the first time in my life, I’m creating an official [...]

BLACK AND WHITE CLOCK

A must have from Kibardindesign. Unfortunately, it’s only a prototype.

Digital clock: only figures, no case, only the necessary – only accurate time. Each figure has self-contained power supply and independent control, it can be fixed to any surface autonomously. A light sensor will switch the clock to an invert mode: the figures are white in [...]
