Just a quick note to say: I’ve got so much to share! I really love longreads, but they take a while (obviously) to get through, process and analyze. That’s why I want to give you a head start! Below are some cool articles that I absolutely want to talk about here, I just haven’t finishedContinue reading “Long Reads on My List”

Data, Data, Data: What I Learned at NAMPC 2014
I’m becoming a data nerd more and more. As I’ve grown in my marketing career I’ve come to both crave, and downright love, data. It’s the lifeblood of my decision making. I love seeing the spike in traffic when I post a new blog entry here, or seeing the varied locales visitors to my siteContinue reading “Data, Data, Data: What I Learned at NAMPC 2014”

Looking For Awesome Gifts That Give Back?
Just found this gem – Ugmonk, a t-shirt (and other things) company that not only has SUPER cute shirts and such, but is also giving you 10% off for the holidays AND feeding a hungry child with each purchase. The typography and cleverness of these items makes me a teeny bit jealous, like “why didn’tContinue reading “Looking For Awesome Gifts That Give Back?”
Serious vs Solemn Design – Or What I Learned From Paula Scher
I found this video quite a while ago while perusing the TED archives, and had planned to write a post about it back in March. However, with a draining 9-6 job and contract clients on top, I never quite got a round to it. Since I recently stopped working and am flush with time now, Continue reading “Serious vs Solemn Design – Or What I Learned From Paula Scher”

The Gorgonist has an etsy shop full of illustrations that range from insanely adorable to to flat out gorgeous, and many thatContinue reading “The Gorgonist – New Illustration Favorite”
The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss
I ran across this article on Brain Pickings about a book published in 1995 called “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.” I was really amazed to see that his style and aesthetic were so much a part of him that he could make this scene look like it was edited out of One Fish TwoContinue reading “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss”
Beautiful.Witty.Hipster
You probably know I love vintage stuff. So is it really a surprise that this made me gasp a little? I mean just look at those COLORS! This whole series of “old school heroes” is just fabulous. You can see some of the best ones here, and you can take a peek at more ofContinue reading “Beautiful.Witty.Hipster”
Cinemagraph
I may have missed the memo on this one, but I just recently ran across some of the coolest cinemagraph images, most of them, it seems, are by Jamie Beck & Kevin Berg and are posted on their site simply called Cinemagraph. If you’re unfamiliar with the term (I was too, until recently) a cinemagraphContinue reading “Cinemagraph”
