Architectural Christmas Cards 2010

I didn't win my works Christmas Card competition this year - but I did have fun designing some cards.


First up is a 'gingerbread haus'.



And another gigerbreadhaus in a bahaus style poster format.




Finally we have the scrooge of the architecture world - the mighty Frank Lloyd Wright.



Aronofsky to Direct the Next Wolverine Movie

Darren Aronofsky is slated to direct the next Wolverine film with Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine although it won’t be necessarily connected to the other x-men and wolverine films.  It will revolve around Wolverine’s adventures/tragedies in Japan.

Sometimes the universe aligns in such a way that it seems to cater to your specific whims – and when this happens you usually can’t really believe it to be true.  This movie announcement is one of those times for me.  Aronofsky – who is one of my favorite directors – is tackling a superhero movie?  Next thing you know Miyazaki will announce his plans to animate Lewis’s Out of the Silent Planet.

So in honor of this news I did a quick sketch of Wolverine in the infamous scene from Pi:

OK Go and their awesome music videos

While their music is pretty good the real brilliance in the band OK GO is in their elaborate music videos.  I know they have been passed around the internet about a billion times but having them all in one place is handy.

Have you been wanting to visit the Sistine Chapel and just haven’t got over to the Vatican to see it yet?  The following link takes you to an interactive panorama of the chapel and as a bonus you get to experience it without hundreds of sweaty tourists packed into it.  Be sure and use the zoom feature to get a good look at Michelangelo’s details.  Enjoy:

Fiesta Latinoamericana

Back on October 10th, Laura, Grace and I went to the Fiesta Latinoamericana in downtown Dallas.  I got some fun pictures of some traditional Mexican dancers.
