The People of Detroit →
carpe-delirium:
A very cool and talented local photog pal of mine, Noah Stephens, is petitioning to have the images from his wonderful series The People of Detroit displayed at the North American International Auto show here in Detroit in January, but this petition campaign is in big need of a boost.

Art Superhero
For one of my classes I have to manipulate a photo of myself to transform myself into an “art superhero”. What sort of super artsy power should I have? And how can I make this not a totally cheesy thing like my collage?

If I could stop having spam accounts be nearly exclusively the only ones to interact with my blog that would be fantastic… Haven’t even attempted to e-mail tumblr about all the spam accounts I’ve run across. I could pretty much be employed to do simply that. Tumblr you need to have some sort of simple function to report spam accounts like Twitter has!

Men vs. Women
Where are all the industrial design ladies at? I seem to run across men 90% of the time in the design world. I’m going to change this.
Women have compassion and though there are many insanely talented men in the design world I feel that we need more females. Ladies, we have the opportunity to change the way humanity lives. Let’s do this.

Three Design Muses
I was asked by my product design studio professor, Vincenzo Iavicoli, who just so happens to be the chair of our department, to research some design consultancies or designers we admire. Here’s what I came up with, though I have about a million other designers I greatly love. 1 > [philippe-starck.com] Loved looking through Philippe’s book today, but I’ve enjoyed his work for...
