The Empire Strikes Barack

I'm not one to usually for showing political views, mainly because a lot of the time it isn't worth arguing with someone about. This morning I was going through my almost endless list of emails from The Daily Heller when one on political satire had this video.



This is great!

LEGOed: Mortal Kombat Edition

About a month ago I was able to pick up Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. In this game you can play any character ever in the series to date (note that they are coming out with a Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe that just looks stunning, not to mention you can be The Joker!). So I decided one day to make a few characters LEGOed, this is what I came up with:


Liu Kang


Kung Lao


Reptile


Sektor


Raiden
This one was the beginning of this adventure and I am especially proud of him.


ROUND ONE. FIGHT.
This would be my officially first LEGO vignette. :D

Screw the Bahamas

Since last year's presentation by Joe Duffy and his son here at SCAD I've heard nothing but praise for Duffy & Partner's Bahamas logo



Well screw the Bahamas logo I think the logo that they did for Gander Mountain Tall Tales Restaurant is awesome.



a beautiful use of positive and negative space, something a lot of designers tend to forget about when creating a mark.

LEGOed

So in my little down time when I am looking to turn off my mind but up my creativity I have started with what I am calling LEGOed. I dig through my (currently) 180 LEGO minifigs and see if any pieces remind me of people I know. Here is what I have so far.


ME!


My Mom!
(and I swear to you this one comes like this, it is Umbridge from Harry Potter but it looks EXACTLY like my mom)


PING!


Scooter!


Bob Newman
(one of my professors here at SCAD.)

and who knows you might be next...that is if I find a piece that reminds me of you :D
