Everomp: Design Makes the Heart Go Yonder

The life and times (and struggles) of an ex-Jack Sparrow working in Disneyland. I tip my hat to the cast members at Disney. I know for a fact they work their tails off under extremely strict rules. (05/27)

Milk bottles. Moo. [jer] (05/27)

Flattened Mountains. Now there's a thought. [marc] (05/27)

New video for Weezer's Pork and Beans. This should put a smile on your face. As for our Internet celebs: this is it. The 15 (and 1/2) minutes are up. (05/23)

Beautiful Japanese pottery by J. (05/22)

UNIQLO. Apparently this is old. Well, new to me. (05/22)

A man takes a photo a day from 1979 until his death in 1997. This is utterly amazing. (05/22)

Procrastination. Speaking of which, better get started with my day already. (05/21)

Connecting New York and London, via a big ol' drill. (05/21)

The work of Peter Swkiot Smith is haunting and beautiful. I'll admit to wishing I could emulate this kind of style. Completely fascinated by it. (05/21)

The portfolio of Japanese illustrator, Atsushi Hara, reminds me of my childhood books. There is a warmth and charm to his work I admire. [grain] (05/21)

A quick, but helpful, writeup on getting proper feedback from clients. It's definitely an art. (05/21)

Eastern Indiana Man Taps Into Backyard Oil Well. Will he be moving to Beverly Hills shortly? (05/21)

Trillion

America is $943.5 billion in credit debt. Are you fucking kidding me?! How in the hell did this happen? Did we all collectively spend too much time in Macy's?! Did we all buy way too many over-priced grande coffees?! Did we all at once decide to buy those designer jeans on "sale" for $175?!

Where not to be a terrorist. Because America is not the only country doing its best (and worst) to fight terrorism. (05/20)

My new favorite design firm, for the moment: Memo. [37] (05/20)

The Art Gallery of Ontario gets a new logo. Too bad they can't switch around "Before" and "After", because the "old" one seemed a bolder, wiser choice. (05/20)

Microwaved CDs. Hate to admit it, but I find this pretty intriguing. Doubt I'll kill my microwave though. (05/20)

Take me to Ninja Town!!! My favorite's the Ninja Dropping. (05/20)

Google Health is now live. Who needs doctors anyway? Bunch of overpaid, overschooled misfits! (05/20)

25 resources for ornaments, fleurons, and "filly bits". Is it Christmas already?? (05/20)

Hope. I can't think of a better word to describe this. People in West Virginia would disagree. (05/19)

Poster by Dutch designer Otto Treumann. I'm a sucker for multi-layered birds. (05/19)

Proud Creative. Another one added to the list. Great work! [fff] (05/19)

Covering Bond. The Penguin Books original James Bond series cover designs. (05/19)

Hang Drum Solo. Inspiration for your Monday morning. I've never heard of this instrument before, but I'm ready to buy an album. (05/19)

Cubescape, your own digital landscape. Marc, you should definitely check this one out. [dan] (05/16)

Meet John Gall, art director and avid book reader (for reasons obvious). Great video on his creative process. (05/16)

Tron Guy goes to ROFLCon. Seems like a nice fellow. [thank you greg, thank you] (05/16)

Presidential election logos, 1960-present. My favorite? Kennedy/Johnson, 1960. Go figure. (05/16)

Aww, so cute. Wall-E is being spotted around LA. (05/16)

Fastest Internet connection, from a 75 year old lady? Awesome! (05/16)

Donkey Basketball. Mm-hm. (05/16)

Apparently I need to start drinking vodka. Level Vodka's age verification page is the first I can recall that caught my eye. In the good way. (05/16)

The ORIGINAL Illustrated Catalog Of ACME Products. Love those Looney Tunes. (05/15)

Curtis Jenkins' portfolio site is my new favorite. Gotta love Americana grittiness. Or whatever the hell it is. Right on! (05/15)

Ever wonder if superheroes age well? I love the Hulk old-version. (05/15)

Pentagram's Decipher book. (05/15)

I really could care less about vodka. It seems to be the next sexy package to design. I have to admit, Double Cross Vodka caught my eye. I feel like I should be casually smoking a cigar with it. (05/15)

You can't get much more straightforward than Pier Madonia's portfolio site. Love the Red Cross ads. (05/14)

I'd love to stay at the Hotel Basico sometime. (05/14)

The CR Annual winners. A little inspiration for your Wednesday. (05/14)

Fascinating TED video on the intelligence of crows. Like cockroaches, rats, and other "pests", they're thriving in the human world. Just the other day I saw a cockroach reading an encyclopedia. Of course it was the letter "Q". Dimwit. (05/14)

Multiple IE Fix

So I've been pretty lazy posting on Everomp lately. Boo hoo. Luckily it's been for a good cause. We've been heavily (overly) saturated with work, both print and web. In wrapping up a micro-site I've been utilizing Multiple IE for testing purposes.

Baxter Packaging. I'd buy 3 bottles on packaging alone. (05/08)

Wright on the Park. Help save Park Inn Hotel, a Frank Lloyd Wright design from 1910. Buildings like these are worth saving, both from an historic and design standpoint. The more we wipe out our history, the less we learn from it. (05/08)

Planet Douche. 23 collars isn't even enough. (05/08)

Mathieu Lehanneur has designed very interesting aquariums filled with micro algae. Sounds gross? Yup, however they release fresh oxygen into the restaurant. Very cool. Here's to breathing! (05/08)

The Oslo Opera House has been completed. Quite impressive, those Norwegians. (05/08)

Anyone up for a round of golf in Baghdad? (05/08)

Is it possible that min-height is no longer an extreme pain in the ass? (05/07)

Clearing floats just got a whole lot easier. (05/07)

Sweet GIFs. Party like it's 1996! [marc] (05/07)

Cuban posters blog. (05/06)

Everything poops. We are surrounded!!! (05/06)

The first LEED-certified museum. It can be done. (05/06)

Baby automobile logos. Awwwww. (05/02)

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant ads for Matone Bank. Sure as hell beats the "green bicycle" for Regions Bank. (05/02)

SKYplay. I've always had a fascination with cloud photography. I don't know why. My photography professor once told me it's very cliche, but I can't help it! [doubletakes] (05/02)

Apartment signs. No, wait, it's cooler than it sounds. (05/02)

Flying slower = saving millions. The little things. Always the little things. (05/02)

1950s - 70s advertising. There is a certain elegance to these that has been lost. (05/02)

Remember that awesome article in Wired about the salvage operation to save $100 million worth of cars? Well, guess what Mazda is doing with them? Ack. (05/02)

The portfolio of Keith Streble. Real nice work. (05/02)

Things were different back in the Atari era, including the covers. My favorite? "It's Fucking Checkers" God damn right. (05/01)

Beck's 8-Bit packaging. Wish you could pop that cartridge into an NES. [dan] (05/01)
