Gli elementi di arredo naturali sono da sempre i miei preferiti, dal legno al bamboo alle porcellane classiche; in una casa tutta legno e vetro, che si affaccia sull’oceano, quali sono i complementi di arredo e gli elementi migliori da miscelare insieme?
Diamo un’occhiata veloce a che cosa gli architetti ed i designer propongono!

Le peggiori (o migliori) creazioni dolciarie per Halloween e non; un florilegio di torte e chicche che hanno poco da invidiare ai tradizionalissimi dolcetti a forma di fantasma.
Mele carmellate? Scordatevele! Meglio pensare a due vermoidi in tenuta matrimoniale o ad una bacinella traboccante di occhi! Abbiamo tutti da imparare qualcosa da questi “maitre” horrorifici!

Oggi fotografi a colazione, pranzo e cena.
Samuele Silva, tra la cantina e la soffitta, mi ha concesso l’onore di una intervista e io ho colto al volo l’occasione. Un fotografo? Perche’ un fotografo?
Perche’ c’e’ un designer in ognuno di noi, e chi ci assicura che noi siamo dalla parte della ragione? =)
Avanti a leggere, anzi.. Avast!

I was asked to redesign a commercial poster for a rock/soul/blues group ready to get on tour: H3O, founded by Frank Salis.

Frank is leading magnificent piano, Marco Nevano is a powerful tenor sax, while Rocco Lombardi is a great drummer; band has a guest star: Beppe Pini one of the most skillfully guitar player.

Ci sono persone che si lasciano intervistare come se niente fosse, altre che ti tirano dietro i portapenne, altre che digrignano i denti e ti mandano le maledizioni (a proposito, l’applicazione Voodoo e’ quasi pronta eh =P). Oggi Laura De Masi introduce una nuova categoria: la stagista bondagista =)
Tutti a leggere, per rodersi il fegato c’e’ sempre tempo =)

Oggi il Sarchiapone D’Oro di 10Q va a Sharon Sala, una fancazzista che si spaccia per Art Director e Project Manager. Avete il fegato di leggere l’intervista tutta d’un fiato?
Merita davvero, potreste imparare molte cose!
Stavolta l’intervista sara’ solo in italiano, mea culpa: il tempo e’ tiranno e sono in viaggio per dare l’ultimo saluto a mia nonna. Se siete a Firenze in questi giorni, state alla larga, ho le bombe a mano nelle tasche- E ora, tutti a leggere!

AAA – Laura, rossa, intelligiente, mistress of IWD, dotazione di serie, inventiva – prestasi per intevista semiseria non retribuita, no contributi, in bianco e nero. Cosi’ comincia questo post, che si srotola in un mondo lontano lontano lontano.. c’era una volta una principessa coi nani.. Mh no, no e’ giusta la favola! Ma continuate a leggere, che qui di favoloso c’e’ il lavoro di una persona con le palle cubiche =)

Hands up if you don’t know Chris Coyier.
For those who raised up, know Chris in depth stay tuned here and read the following interview (it’s shorter and has no long company names to remember =).
I’ve asked Chris to answer a few questions, classic questions about who he is and what he does in life, continue reading.. the truth is out there!

Back masking unleashed on you iPhone!
Reverse anything you have recorded: your voice, a song, the rain outside, birds tweeting, noises and enjoy reversing!

Also, you could listen to those hidden words by reverse playing some songs (remember Trick or Treat?, Stairway to Heaven?); make the world out of it!

It’s fun and easy.

Your first thought about a product is given by its advertising; you see a marvellous package with smooth silk ribbon. Or maybe let’s talk about food packaging: in these times all must be 2.0 style, so even a toilet paper advertise and package should renew the concept of softness and smoothness (so when you gently rub your ass your skin won’t suffer reddening).

You may laugh at this (taken from blitzee.com) but before you do: make up your mind and think!
Crazyness is a disease.
No jobs is bad politics.

This is a sneak preview of the latest concept dvd packaging and cover design for Central Dogma’s Virus. A virtual band that plays Metal Jazz in an uncommon path.
All brand is made with free brushes and psd, just to play with available resources without any skilling ability into design and creativeness.

The Klingons are one of the most brave and powerful races in Star Trek; for years we all fans have been watching those warriors hanging around each serie (from TOS to Voyager and so on).

Remember Liutenant/Colonel Worf? B’Elanna Torres?
Those are ones from the most famous Klingons in the Federation.
Klingon languages and costumes are now in everyday life (check your Google preferences to have your results in Klingon!), even in the Simpsons there’s Klingon spoken (via Star Trek.com):

Titled “My Big Fat Geek Wedding,” the story has teacher Edna Krabappel and principal …

Cannot hide my passion for Nintendo DS, since the times of GameBoy and WonderBoy game. But most of all I like their packaging, stylish and preppy for every event.
Those special bundles came out in fancy packaging for every taste, just like the The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass gold DS bundle:

Classy, like the game: the gold/bronze cover reminds of the game ambiances and I bet if there were smells on it they’d have been cinammon!
Mario Bros, pioneer of the one-man game saga got his red bundle with Mario Red …

I’m used to listen to music while working, I’m quite eclectic so every kind of music could suite.
When composing a render in Poser I generally listen to jazz: Charlie Parker and Miles Davis and Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock over all (you can see my last.fm profile), to adjust senses and relax while choosing the right geometries.
Drawing and retouching in Photoshop requires a more brilliant music, so my inspirations in colors goes with Slipknot, Stone Sour or Umkulu or some classic pop or hard rock song.
Astor Piazzolla is one of …

I’m a fan of handmade crafts of every kind: wallets, bags, belts, hair stuff and so on.. and I found many interesting services which sells handmade items of all kind.
Earrings and necklace at a good price.. too bad for the postal shipping costs! Overseas, in the US, shipping costs are a bit expensive and most of the time some smaller firms do not ship in Switzerland …

The Japan Serie Project: illustrations of 3D rendered women in the Japan contest.

I had the chance to meet some great people, great artists, great musicians indeed and always thought how to combine fine music and fine art.
What kind of musical sensation would an image blown in me?
As for an answer here came the opportunity!
A bunch of people (the ThreeSomeJazzBand) asked me to create their very first cd cover for their demo album called “Intentions“.
That’s good; that’s art; that’s jazz!

It was my second attempt but I’m pretty satisfied of the final result. And musicians too were amazed, so that the second album “A …
