post review

I heartily enjoyed this review. I liked how lax it was and how anyone could walk up and see what we’ve done. It made the whole experience more inviting and comfortable. I really appreciated our guest speaker and the one-on-one conversation we had about my presentation board. He was very insightful.
Alrighty then I suppose I’ll [...]

happy halloween

Things aren’t going quite as planned, to be expected, but I’m getting there. I made a list then promptly forgot to add about a third of what I need to do tonight, but oh well. As long at I get in the shop by 8am and can polish my logo and brand then I think [...]

progress?

I know this is a bad habit but I’m at the point where I’m too nervous to actually try or test anything out, even on my study model, so I’ve been avoiding working on it. I think it’ll be better when I work on it tomorrow. I think I’m going to Utrect or Sam Flax [...]

trying to keep it steady

So I just put in my file to the 3D printer. I’m using Z-core, so there’s a great chance that it’ll simply shatter when I handle it, but unfortunately that’s all I have to work with right now. I think I’m going to make an Illustrator file so that I can laser cut some acrylic [...]

sooo…..!

Still trying figure out this whole spray spritzer thing. Bought some squeaker toys tonight and I’ve been playing around with them. Not too sure where to go from here but a conversation I had earlier really helped form my direction to make it clearer.

getting there..

I think I may have found my form tonight. It’s a little on the simple side but I think the idea behind it is strong. I still need to work out the kinks in the attachment to the string connection to the squeezer bottle, but that may need to wait until studio later.
I have an [...]

eureka moment not yet established

I just finished watching this BBC special called “The Secret World of Haute Couture” to see if it would spark some magical Chanel-inspired promotional item and everyone would scream about how wonderful and exquisite my product is. Yeah I know, wishful thinking here. It did open my eyes to what goes on behind the dress [...]

my brand across the interweb

I was looking at the Chanel website and heard about this Mobile coming to NYC from Hong Kong. Then I check Core77 and there the article was again!
Just thought I’d share.
A sci-fi egg filled with handbag art: Hadid’s Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion

Not to be outdone by other retailers simply putting together pop-up stores to showcase [...]

oh!

For those who didn’t come today:
You really missed out on one of the best times ever in Georgia Tech or Atlanta history.
Seriously.
This should be a monthly occurrence around Atlanta.

Just thought you should all know.

fun times at bill arp elementary

So one night last week I went to my old elementary school with a friend and we played on the playground. The first thing I noticed was how squishy the ground was! I thought to myself, “Self, I don’t remember wood chips being this bouncy. It’s not wet, so what the hell is this stuff?” [...]
