THEY NEVER PAID ME! - Buy It?

I recently designed this website and built it for a customer, after many many emails and a ton of phone calls i realized; I am not getting paid for this one. So I am hoping someone out there wants a $5000 site for $1500...please help a poor sad designer!!!

I.V. - Plant Pot

This place Vitamin Life makes some really cool stuff and their industrial design is great. I especially like this, the "I.V. Plant Pot".

3D Desktop Video

OK, this is insane. This is a 3D Desktop that uses physics to make your desktop act similar to the lifelike way of organizing papers into piles and categories. You've got to watch this!

BumpTop aims to enrich the desktop metaphor with expressive, lightweight techniques found in the real world.

Eye Trick - STARE AT THIS

I am sure you've seen these before but there's something still really interesting about them.

HOW IT WORKS:
Stare at the black dot in the middle of the picture until the slide changes. The picture is Black and White but appears to be color. Once you move your eyes from the dot the desaturated picture no longer looks color.

HOW TO DO IT:
Just take a photo or whatever you want to use. Duplicate the layer and make the bottom layer desaturated. Take the color layer and inverse it, go to the hue/saturation and make the lightness about +20. Add a little black dot in the middle then stare for 20 seconds and drop out the inversed layer to reveal the desaturated layer.

Udder Madness PT2

Here's my most recent artwork for the Udder Madness series of minimal electronic music shows at a local club near me called Milk Bar. These have been kindof a fun freelance project for me lately just due to the fact that it's way outside my box of design. The Illustrations are always a cow in a factory having something weird happening to it.

Motion Meets Ocean

DJ Benny Benassi has a video out for his track "Who's Your Daddy". I kinda like the song but more importantly the video shows some decent design over topless girls. I am not promoting porn or anything but this video really does rule, nothing too dirty so i thought it was worth a look. Besides, i watched it for the cool design...right?

The Work Of Bernd Preiml

Bernd Preiml

A 31 year old male from Vienna, Austria. I've loved this guys photography since i first saw it, around four months ago. He uses a dark style throughout almost all of his work that often features a split with portraits on one side and a resembling or contrasting photo, still-life, or illustration on the other side. Looks like he's added some new work recently. Definitely check him out, very talented guy.

Booka Shade

So I typically don't love electronic music but this Booka Shade album is definitely worth checking out. It's really good to just sit back and crank out some work. Plus they typically have dope album cover art...this ones decent but not up to par.
