Pinterest!
I am an inspiration junkie. I love thumbing through magazines analyzing both the advertising and editorial layouts. I love discovering new artists and designers who are thinking in a different way. I also love being able to share it all... welcome to Pinterest. Like a constantly updated mood board, the site allows it's users to gather inspiration from anywhere on the web, organize it in any way they please, and share it with others. I've used it to gather images for work projects, keep my art inspiration in order and discovering some amazing new things. The site is still in an invite-only stage but if anyone would like to try it out just let me know.
Summer in Chicago
Zooming down Lake Shore Drive on Thursday night we came across a huge fireworks show in progress near Navy Pier. Twenty or so cars had pulled over to the side of the highway to watch and we joined in. As we hopped off the bike and enjoyed the end-of-summer breeze faintly tainted with sulphur, the city was electrified.
Clean beaches
Atoms for peace
