Howard Aiken on Original Ideas

Joshua Blankenship — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 03:21:09 +0000

Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Apple Profile on Joshua Davis

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:41:46 +0000

Nice Apple Pro profile on Joshua Davis. Davis gets a bad rap sometimes, but I adore his style and the computer-generated work that he’s been creating.

Iron Man Trailer

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:41:19 +0000

Of all the comic books of my childhood, I don’t think I saw them getting Iron Man quite right, and yet: they’re totally going to. The casting, character design, plot, etc. all look top-notch. (Tip o’ the hat to Yewknee for the trailer link.)

A Word on Design Value

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:40:54 +0000

If it were that easy to make money on the web, everyone would do it. There is no such thing as a quick buck made out of a small buck…only a small buck being lost really quickly…[whatever] you get for $4000, it’s not going to make you rich.- Information Architects Japan, excerpted from A Word on Design Value

Adam Cruickskank - Illustration

Lovely portfolio of illustration and design from Adam Cruickskank. I really like the variety of styles, typography, and, of course, yetis.

Filling My Brain and My Day With Inspiration, Not Time-Wasters

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 03:55:39 +0000

In an attempt to be more productive and less distracted, I’ve removed site aggregator popurls from my daily bookmark visiting. In theory, it’s great. In practice, it’s a ridiculous time suck and doesn’t accomplish anything.Aggregators like popurls just put a bunch of user-generated “news” sites together so I can waste time browsing top 10 lists and silly surface articles that do me no good either as artistic inspiration or time-management. Digg (and its kin) allow the community to decide what’s important, but those people aren’t me and those sites are becoming increasingly irrelevant to me, so why bother visiting?There are too many things I need and want to be doing. I’d rather fill my browsing time with things that benefit me as an artist and inspire me. (That being said, I’ve welcomed illustrator Kevin Cornell’s Bearskinrug and fashion-watcher Notcouture to the dailies.)

Paul Jacques Grillo on Simplicity

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 01:40:00 +0000

Simplicity does not mean want or poverty. It does not mean the absence of any decor, or absolute nudity. It only means that the decor should belong intimately to the design proper, and that anything foreign to it should be taken away.- Paul Jacques Grillo, architect

Nikon D3 Full-Frame DSLR

Joshua Blankenship — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 01:37:28 +0000

Nikon has announced their first full-frame D3 DLSR for right at $5000. As I’ve said in the past, I love Canon products, but the fact that the lenses are so dang expensive makes Nikon much more attractive to me.
