ALPHABATTLE
This was my latest submission to the ALPHABATTLE. Over at LetterCult they have set up a sweet deal where anyone can submit custom lettering of letters of the alphabet. They are doing it in order and only started last month. So if you are like me and like to draw custom lettering you should join in. :)
"There are no actual battles, no talkin’ trash, no smokin’ fools, no winners, no losers—just an opportunity to express yourself with Custom Letters among some like-minded peers. Make letters. Have fun." - BEEJAY over at LetterCult

letterPLAYGROUND
So Illustrator Nate Williams started a site a few months ago (I was pointed to it by Nate from facebook). The site is great for people who like to draw letters like me :) It is free to join and submit to, go check it out at letterplayground.
Here is my first submission:
It started out as a ?, but for some reason the submission form doesn't let you submit anything but letters and numbers even though there are areas for &, ., and ?. Oh well it makes a great s too :) My collection can be found here: Greg's Letters.

What kind of mood are you in?
image from Courtney, posted on Design Work Life
So I'm a big fan of creating mood boards for projects. I was first introduced to the concept by Joe Duffy when he and his son Joseph came to speak at SCAD while I was there for graduate school. The above picture is from a similar presentation that Joe did for the How Design Conference 09. The following links are some other sources of mood boards and how they can be applied to the design methodology.

Exit Through The Gift Shop
Do you know Banksy? If not you should. An innovator in guerrilla art Banksy has made his mark on the world and all the while no one has known what he even looks like. From stencil works done on city walls around the world to even personally hanging his work in major museums (without them even knowing it). This film looks Awesome!
