The growing twitter-sensation Tweet Bomb was looking for a new page design with instructions on how it works. I gave them a new logo with it. Check it out and let me know what you think… Tweet Bomb. Their most recent victim was AJ Vaynerchuk owner of PleaseDressMe and little brother of Gary Vaynerchuk of WineLibraryTV.

Jay Ryan is an amazing character. I met him 2 springs ago when our AIGA RIT student group brought him in for a lecture and screenprinting demo. I have two of his posters; I love and cherish them. He is also bass of Dianogah. That’s them playing in the background. Check him out at The Bird Machine
I came upon the world of the Vaynernation through using Cork’d to find a review of a wine. It was a pretty nice site. It got the job done. Then on there I saw a link to WineLibraryTV, a video blog where Mr. Vaynerchuk tastes a few wines each today. One video was all it took to get me hooked. Over the past several months, I’ve been religiously watching each episode. It’s a great way to learn about a subject that I knew a little about and wanted to know more. Over the past couple weeks, I began actually following Gary a bit more closely through Twitter and chatting on UStream. It was then that I realized how smart he was in taking advantage of these resources to keep in touch with his fan-base. He can post on Twitter that he’ll be on a show and hundreds of people will log on to chat with him. Doing so has done a variety of this to develop his personal brand that is further expressed at GaryVaynerchuk.com, where he provides his thoughts and advice on building a business and personal branding.
I highly recommend you follow Gary. You’ll definitely be entertained and you might just learn a thing or two.
P.S. Kerry Rhodes ftw.
Back on September 5th, I met Andy Gilmore at a showing of his work with some great music from LouLou and the Sharp Sword. After a long anticipated talk with Andy about his work, I had learned quite a bit. He believes that they are geometric proportions that exist naturally and that we tend to encounter them at some wonderful moments. These proportions occur in all aspects of life. We discussed how this is encountered through skateboarding, music and several other forms. Gilmore works tediously at this, whether it’s through the designs that he does mostly in illustrator, his extremely fine, analytical illustrations, or the music he produces.
So, after a long series of excuses that I could give for not posting, I’ve decided to finally catch up with updating this beloved blog. I have some good stuff to come, so watch for it. Thank you, to everyone who reads this.
Go to it. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to speak with Andy Gilmore about his amazing work.
