just realized i've been MIA on these weekly themes for a while. gotta fix that. this is a sketchcard that i was commissioned for. (drawn with copic pens and markers.) he gave me free reign with subject matter so i went with the sailor theme from this week! and what's a sailor theme without a possible kraken cameo. dunno if those tentacles are malicious or not. ur guess is as good as mine. =) [peng-peng]

My friends at DSPTCH sent me over a couple of their amazing camera straps. Pictured here are the braided Camo Wrist Strap and the Coyote Sling Strap. They have kindly given me 3 sets to giveaway. If you’d like to snag both straps leave a comment and tell me the first place you’d take it and what you’d shoot when you got there.

Saam Farahmand directs this short film, inspired by Daughn Gibson’s highly acclaimed debut album All Hell. After becoming completely obsessed with the album, Farahmand approached Gibson with the idea of creating a film inspired by the entire album rather than a music video for one song in particular.

My favourite letterer Jessica Hische just posted a fantastic article all about type. It is a must-read for anyone who has weaselled their way into a design position and hasn’t actually taken a type class (this woulda been handy when I worked at Electronic Arts). The post includes her favourite type designers, an unbiased list of font resources, and a whole slew of things to think about when choosing typefaces.
