Portfolio Center at Octane
If you’re in Atlanta, make sure you check out the opening reception for the Portfolio Center art show at Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge this Friday, May 11th. The show will be up throughout the rest of May.
I decided to submit some drawings for the coffee sleeves. In first quarter Illustration, I did a family portrait of The Keatons from ‘Family Ties’. I thought it would be cool to split up the drawing into individual headshots to create a little series that would hopefully entice customers to get the whole set. So go and get your mocha/latte whatever, save your sleeves, and enjoy. I also did a Macgyver portrait, but you’ll have to go to Octane to check that one out.

Art vs. Graphic Design
I just read a great piece called Good Art by Michael Bierut from Design Observer. Bierut tells a story of growing up, one day realizing he could draw with exceptional
rendering skills, becoming the “art kid” in school. He says…
I never turned in a report or term paper without an elaborate cover and a lengthy appendix filled with predictably overwrought drawings of the subject at hand, whether it was unicellular flagellates, the buildings of Washington, D.C., or the sinking of the Titanic. Was it unfair that my grade often went up a notch because of these elaborate but usually irrelevant embellishments? Sure. But it was also a useful lesson on the relationship of form and content.
He goes on saying…
My eagerness to please, my enthusiasm about working with as many different groups as possible, my discovery that a good-looking package could improve the impression made by its contents: these are all traits that led me not into art, but into graphic design.
I don’t have the energy to respond to this right now. Maybe later.

Illustrating with Type
Check out Typographic Illustration by a design group named ni9e. I don’t know much about them, but this specific project is pretty sweet. They’ve taken six classic typefaces and used them to illustrate a musician’s portrait with the lyrics of the song as it is being played. Notorious B.I.G., The Beatles, Dylan…
I’m assuming they are started with an actual drawing of the artist, type is then applied in corresponding values and it’s all animated in Flash or After Effects. I really have no clue.
