Dribbble Rookie

For those of you who aren't familiar with dribbble, it's essentially a portfolio site of sorts, only a bit more informal. Designers post small previews (400x300px images) of projects they're working on, and other members of the community can comment, give feedback, etc. Membership to the site is invite only, so the quality of work that is displayed is inspiring to say the least.  

I was recently lucky enough to receive a dribbble invite through a contest on Aidan Hornsby's blog. My first dribbble shot is below. Click the image to view the post on dribbble:

Thanks again to Aidan Hornsby and Andy Smart for the invite!

Meet Buck

Buck is an ordinary guy. Well...if you except the "deer head" thing. And today, Buck is gonna spend this cool Sunday afternoon with his girlfriend who's so happy to see him (she's pretty much always happy). But when Buck find out that her father is not the sympathic and tolerant guy he excpected, the Sunday afternoon turns really bad.

There is some really great artwork in this animated short. I love the "digital painting" texture that was used in conjunction with the 3D. Wonderfully done fellas. Check out salesmanbuck.com to learn more.

Mad Men illustrations by Stanley Chow

This is one of those moments where I wish I would have thought of it first. These stylized portraits were done by Stanley Chow. Be sure to pick up some prints at his shop.

David Lanham Portraits

David Lanham is a very talented illustrator and designer. When he's not making goodies over at the Icon Factory, he's knocking out wonderful illustrations in print and wallpaper formats. More recently he has been creating portraits of his friends to add to his arsenal.

His style of illustration is very unique and original, but what I admire most about David, (besides his amazing skills), is that he is willing to share his illustration process with everyone. Most people would want to keep their techniques and processes a secret. As someone who's always trying to learn, It's nice to observe and absorb from the best. Check out the video below showing his process when illustrating Dan Benjamin.
