I drew this out for my buddy David Carroll today.

David Carroll, Chris Kalani, Keegan Jones, and Hannah Dorr sent me a sweet video for my birthday, all the way from San Francisco. Never mind the fact I have never met Keegan or Hannah, but they both seem like real stand-up folks.

David and I found a sad little bumblebee today. Life is fragile, man!

The new Grove leather iPhone backs have turned out really slick. David Carroll just bought the one above, so we decided to snap a quick pic of it in our version of a cheap (and crappy) photo studio. Our impromptu photo studio consisted of:
- One sheet of 11x17 paper to act as an infinity backdrop
- One iPhone to take a photo of David’s iPhone with the leather back
- One David Carroll saying, “I’m tired of holding up this piece of paper!”
I’m not sure how much the Grove back really protects your phone, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look nice. The artwork is subtle and it actually doesn’t ruin the cleanliness of the iPhone’s design, which is the main reason I am always opposed to any type of case. I’m really curious to see how the tan leather looks on the back of the iPhone.
Stay classy Grove!

Get out of the office
Today, David Carroll, Andy and Abby Orsow and I all went down to Heart Roasters, and worked from their café today. We have found we often annoy our coworkers around us in the office with our antics, so it’s alway nice to go some place that doesn’t involve berber carpet, cubicles, and acoustic ceiling tiles.
Also, when you’re in an office out in the middle of an office park in Lake Oswego, you certainly don’t stumble across a nice little quarter pipe resting on the side of the road. Ready and waiting to be hopped on by David, right after a lunch break.
This is the reason to get out of the office occasionally.

A nice outdoor design sesh.

This is what I am somewhat missing out on by working from home today.
David is testing out the hottest in virtual reality innovations! An iPhone, placed inside of a junk food box, strapped to his head. Andy plays the role of supervisor, and I play Skype voyeur.

Self portrait.
Working on making an irl picture frame. Help it sweep the nation.
I’m convinced David has created a new style/composition that I have never seen before. I hope this lights up the internet, and everyone starts shooting photos between they’re legs while they’re on the toilet.

My super-buff coworker, Andy Orsow, rips an apple in half… with a little bit trouble. David Carroll edited the vid.

David Carroll, Erik Jung, and I did an unboxing video of our new PANTONE books at work. Pay close attention to the totally excellent harmonica music in the background.

Say One Word for 15 Minutes Straight (TransWorld)

2007Best unintended video art piece of the day. David was excited about getting his new TransWorld skate video.

At work, we lit David Carroll’s pipe with giant magnifying glass. We almost lit his balls, and his hand, on fire too.
