Sleep is overrated
Lots of stuff going on in terms of art and interactive outside of my agency gig. I've been invited to launch a new social networking tool with a very talented group of designers and developers. I've got a few more hours left in the development of all of the front end html and javascript programming. It should be a handsome looking project, and one of the only site designs I've worked on outside of TPE.
Speaking of Peoples Elbow, Adam and I have been knocking out sites left and right these past few months, and I hope to keep the momentum going with that end of the business as it is what I consider the "good work" - the unexpurgated stuff that I actually enjoy designing.
Creative Impulse
I spent last week shooting portraits for my good friend Rx Gallagher in a collaboration I am excited to be taking part in. He is always dreaming up bizarre and exciting new ways to collage and destroy my images. He should be gathering a enough new source material for another new gallery series by the end of this summer.
Hydra is going strong
I've had a traffic spike over at Hydraulik Art which is always nice to see. People are still visiting the great collection of talented visual artists from here in Chicago. I have a few more galleries I need to phone back regarding interviews, and I would also very much like to profile some of the more active members themselves - and see what makes them tick.
Also, mentioning Hydraulikart.com - I had my entire website design stolen and copied by a company in Thailand. I will post a whole separate blog on that experience (with side-by-side comparisons of how blatant the thieves were) illustrating how I had to contact over six different entities internationally to get them to cease and desist. It isn't so much the lack of creativity on the part of the thieves that frustrated me (we web designers get ripped off all of the time, sadly) but that the company who stole my site design actually left in my tracking and analytics code in their website. Basically all of my stats were screwed up for almost a month because these people were too lazy to even remove my google code from their html... But that is, as I mentioned, a whole separate post.

I take pictures sporadically. Often when I'm at events with my friends. I'm trying to motivate myself to shoot more often. Regardless, stalkers love flickr.

Cheers mate! Just stopping by to gawk at your work. I dig what you do with your Peopleselbow.com collective too. You are like me: freelance, fulltime, and you run a collective. Great designers think alike and we never sleep! Good vibes from across the pond here in the UK.
