IAAH I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY is the multi-disciplinary design studio of Nessim Higson. He has some amazing work focusing on events surrounding Hurricane Katrina and how it affected the New Orleans area. The work is great on it’s own, but is truly amplified by the beautiful flash interface developed by Ourvice.
Eric Smith of IDRAWALLDAY has created a series of posters based on quotes that have served as a support for him during his recent fight against cancer. I just picked up all three and wish him the best.
In his own words: I was recently diagnosed with cancer and have begun down the treatment road. I [...]

My riding spot in Cambridge, MA is right in the middle of Central Square, between Harvard and the Charles River. One side is lined entirely with a chain-link fence, while the other is cut by a street that runs all the way to Kendall Square. Behind the fence runs a series of train tracks that [...]

I just added this WordPress plugin to the site. It redirects the RSS feed generated by WordPress to my Feedburner account. So, now I know if anyone is following the RSS feed and what user agents/RSS readers etc… they are using. Not bad!
edit: If you saw a “Test” post in the feed, it was just [...]
Eric Natzke is a visual wizard. Seeing his work at FITC was awe inspiring – it is seriously on another level. Check out his flickr set for proof or follow his wizardry on his blog, Jot. Keep in mind, his work is all dynamically done using Flash.
My pursuit of ActionScript 3.0/OOP mastery has recently led me to these links.
Learning Actionscript 3 – Companion site for the amazing book of the same title. I recently picked this book up and can’t recommend it enough. If the O’Reilly books are a bit much for you right off the bat, this should be [...]

It was 1999 when I first got really excited about design for the web and designs place on the web. It was a strange time technically, since web-standards were just emerging and many designers were just getting comfortable with merging their offline work with the new media available on the web. I spent what seemed [...]

I just got back from FITC Toronto and it was an amazing experience. I haven’t felt this creatively/technically motivated in a long time. While I was there I had the opportunity to see Tycho play live at the The Drake Hotel, which coincidentally was where I was staying. I’ll post on The Drake a bit [...]
Complex have an interview up with Creative Director Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim. It’s a great interview – my favorite quote, “The designer’s role is to design good product, that’s all. I just want to make our product better.” Nuff’ said.
Thomas Ulrik has an amazing portfolio of work up. I really dig the balance and range his work exhibits.
Amazing Motion Direction and Photography by Casper Balsev. He is represented by Hello Love, who happen to have a delicious blocked out logo.
I’ve been spending many many nights with a little friend called Actionscript 3. I should have a few new things up over the next week in the form of some-sort of download.
