Been following Illustration Friday for the past couple of weeks. Every week they post a new topic and some really beautiful work has been posted by lots of talented folk. Good stuff! This week’s topic is ‘emergency’ and while I’d love to get involved and start doing a piece a week, it’s definitely tough to find the extra time to do so. Maybe next week I’ll have to make it a priority, or maybe start doing some illustration over my lunch breaks.

At Gams, we’ve been working on a web site for the past week for one of our vendors. I was pretty reluctant about working on the project, but now its really starting to come together. One of my initial design concepts was chosen and I’ve been putting a lot of time in on a few flash pieces that will drop into different sections on the site. We’ll see how it goes.

Last week I started working on some hat designs targeted at urban barbers. Definitely a sweet project and I had a lot of fun researching graffiti and different urban aesthetics.

One of the cooler things I found online was graffiti archaeology, a really well-done interactive applet that shows graffiti in a place over time. Another great resource were all the photographs posted over at flickr.

Anyhow, check out two of the hat designs.
