Dis­ney­land Tiki Room Entrance 1963, orig­i­nally uploaded by Miehana.

While trolling on flickr I found this glo­ri­ous pic­ture of one of my favorite attrac­tions at Dis­ney­land, the Tiki Room. The pic­ture is orig­i­nally taken when it opened in 1963 and I find it very inter­est­ing to see the attrac­tions facade with out the lush vegetation […]

I saw this great post on Brian Hoff’s site and I thought I’d play along. Here’s my ABC URL game. It’s a fun game and as Brian says,

Day 7 and still design­ing, though 2 days behind sched­ule in post­ing. Be that as it may, in honor of tonight’s pre­miere of Sur­vivor Heroes vs Vil­lains my design of the day is a lit­tle WPA inspired retro-esque poster in honor of one of my favorite play­ers, Stephe­nie LaGrossa. Star of two pre­vi­ous incar­na­tions of […]

Another non-timely post, I’ll have to get bet­ter at that. This one inspired some­what by two loves of mine, Amer­i­can Foot­ball and Zom­bies, though maybe not in that par­tic­u­lar order. I drew a sketch of a Zom­bie and played a bit in Illus­tra­tor and Pho­to­Shop to cre­ate the effect of an unstop­pable Zom­bie horde. Which […]

I’ve been work­ing on stuff every­day, but I haven’t been post­ing daily, so I’ve got a bunch of stuff to put up.
The first of these is a dig­i­tal doo­dle of a song from the won­der­ful 1949 Rogers and Ham­mer­stein play South Pacific, Bali Hai. I was inspired by the pro­duc­tion I saw last week­end at Seattle’s […]

Day 4 brings me back to one of my favorite muses, Sur­vivor of course. Here’s a lit­tle sort of vin­tage styled poster high­light­ing the arch vil­lain from the TV fran­chise, Rus­sell Hantz, bet­ter known to fans as Evil Rus­sell. In the show he had a knack for find­ing idols, which would keep him from being […]

For Day three I tried to imag­ine if the Na’vi in the film Avatar had given up their Ani­mism in favor of Judaism and were shak­ing their grog­gers at Purim. This was actu­ally cre­ated for the upcom­ing Purim Car­ni­val at Tem­ple De Hirsch Sinai, but I thought it would fit here, since it is something […]

I read the great post by Jad Lim­caco on Smash­ing Mag­a­zine called “Design Some­thing Every Day!” It is a very inspir­ing, if not daunt­ing idea, to design some­thing every day, but it is a call I would like to take up. I wanted to do it in Jan­u­ary, but some projects and a hint of […]
