WEB FIND :: MBTI MAP

DESCRIPTION
i wish i designed this.
i found this over at brainpickings.org:
"it's a visualization showing the relationships between human personality descriptors from the myers-briggs type Indicator test, using subway lines as a metaphor for the connections between the different representative words and personality types. a product of the integrated design laboratory at korea’s ajou university, the map is a rare application of information design to the fields of psychology and sociology — and a brave effort to capture something as vague and abstract as personality visually and concretely."

i tried tracking down the original but the creator's site seems to be down... apparently you can download a free large format pdf. i'll keep hunting...

omg a yamaha-playing river otter! LOL found this on cuteoverload.com. so silly.

First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone

Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

Chorus:
What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life

(Solo)

Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold of my heart

chorus (with ... "now I'm dancing through my life")

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now), bein's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (Pictures come alive when I call)
(call, call, call, call, what a feeling) I can have it all
(Bein's believin') bein's believin'
(Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen
(What a feeling) what a feeling... (to fade)

THROWBACK MAC DESCRIPTION check out this old school apple computer drawing. i created this piece back in college for a photoshop 101 class. they asked us to scan something and play with it in photoshop. i drew my computer in pen + ink, then stripped it down and redrew it in photoshop. that's when i learned PS is not the best drawing application, but def good for coloring, texture, etc... wow that was a long, long time ago...

NEW ILLO

DESCRIPTION
this is what my site looked like last week. i changed the layout to what you see now to make the site more user-friendly, and to be able to blog on my own website.

i'll be updating this page with new illustrations, inspirations, and likely some music-related topics.

SOMEWHAT NEW ILLO

DESCRIPTION
this is a drawing i did in illustrator cs3. i have a thing for pop-art and generic branding (like product placement in old 70's and 80's movies). this was inspired by what i remember the cups of soda to look like at a ballpark concession as a kid.

now who wants a hot dog?
