I’m very excited to finally be able to share one of the illustrations I’ve been working on. A few months ago I was contacted by Chris Baty (of NaNoWriMo fame) to illustrate a poster centered around encouraging people to write! I had a lot of fun with this painting; it’s always nice when your freelance work allows you to do something completely different from your day job, and this poster did just that for me. If you’re interested in buying this poster (or perhaps another poster in Chris’ shop), you can find a large version here and a small version here.
Also, this week has been quite the adventure for me, as I’ve been offered a position as a visual development artist at Sony Pictures Animation on “Cloudy 2”! It’s only been one week, and already I’ve learned so much from being surrounded by the incredible talent there!
Instacube: A Living Canvas for your Instagram Photos
Liberating Instagram photos from your smart device, Instacube feeds your favorite images wirelessly at 3x the size.
When designing Instacube, John Whaley (D2M’s Head of Industrial Design) was inspired by the idea of creating a living canvas that pushes beautiful images to a stand-alone device as they happen — all on a big, beautiful display. No need to launch an app on your smartphone and squint at tiny images. Instacube makes enjoying your Instagrams more enjoyable than ever before. You are now free to effortlessly enjoy, display and show-off beautiful Instagrams in your home or office, all day long.
Really brilliant and creative idea, if i had $149 to donate in order to get one of these early I would most definitely, but since i don’t, they got my $10 bucks. I like the idea that you can set a hashtag for your instacube to display, you can hashtag #sunset and wake up to all the sunset pictures across the world on instagram or just your friends. Pretty great. I’d love to see these things make it to production so if you want to donate to their kickstarter to make this happen, do it!
