Over the holidays, my wife and I had a fun project: decorate the nursery! We had decided a while back that we wanted to have a robot-themed room, so I decided to do some fun drawings for the walls. The canvases are 2′x2′ and I used Posca paint pens which are water based, non-toxic and really fun to use! Here are some photos of the process and finished room.

It’s been a pretty quiet week around here and I’ve definitely enjoyed the relaxation time. Other than seeing the Jayhwaks play, I’ve been busy taking care of things around the house and finishing up some projects that desperately needed to be finished. More photos of the project below coming soon!

I hope everyone had a great end to 2008. I have a feeling that 2009 is going to be a great year! Stay tuned in the next few days for an exciting new studio visit and Happy New Year!

Being in the business of design, I thought I’d share my classiest holiday decoration. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and a very Happy New Year! See you in 2009!

Sub-zero wind chills here in Lawrence this morning. I think it’s safe to say that winter has arrived!

There was a lot of buzz yesterday online about a new photo resource, so I thought I’d mention something about it. LIFE magazine has teamed up with Google to archive thousands of photographs taken by LIFE photographers over the past several decades. This amazing collection includes photographs and etchings dating back to the 1750s and by the time everything has been put online, there will be more than 10 million photos available worldwide. The archive includes photographs taken by some of the most well respected photographers in history including Margaret Bourke-White and Robert Capa .

This is a continuation of a trend that gained a lot of motion in early 2008 when the Library of Congress put a section of their collection online and invited Flickr users to help them in the massive task of adding tags to the photos. Shortly thereafter, several other institutions followed suit and helped create the The Commons on Flickr.

UPDATE: Wow! Here’s another great online collection of historic photographs from Tibet from the past 30 years.

Happy browsing!
