Dropular is quickly becoming my favorite image bookmarking site. I’m really digging the new thumbnail layout and the “pool” part of the site really kills it for me. “Pools” are just categories of images based off tags or something, but seeing all the random images coming together in themes is pretty amazing. Check out a [...]
Winkreative, the creative agency spawned from Tyler Brule, the founder of Wallpaper* and Monocle magazines has updated with a wonderful new site and an amazing collection of work.

Our friend Jeff Hamada from Booooooom spoke at Pecha Kucha Vancouver, where you have 20 slides and 20 seconds to talk about each slide. His presentation is pretty funny and definitely worth checking out. My favorite slide is the Stegosaurus playing saxophone wearing jeans… haha! Check out the video after the jump –

With that said, Click below to check out a quick Q&A with Grotesk. Also, Be sure to check out the new Juxtapoz, which [...]
The Blog A Continuous Lean has a rad feature that they’ve been doing for a few years on their site called “From The Desk Of”, which is basically a look into the work spaces of very creative people. They just posted a new feature on fashion designer Richard Chai and based off the comments on [...]
Hardformat is rad album archive website that I came across from one of @Reserves twitter links. “It seems like everybody’s talking about the end of physical music media. Who knows whether they’re right or not, but Hard Format is a little place we’ve set up to celebrate our love of brilliant music-related design.” It seems [...]
My friend Andy Chung, a designer who interned for me at MacNeil last year, just graduated college from Emily Carr and finished up his new portfolio site!

NowNow Collective, who publishes Won Magazine has a rad series going on their website called Desktop-Desktop, where they feature the computer desktop and actual working desktop of designers. I could probably say it a million times, but for some reason, I love seeing other peoples work spaces and I had a great time clicking through [...]

While browsing Kitsune Noir I quickly fell in love with Hard Graft. Hard Graft is a accessories company focusing on bags and technology related items.
