It’s already been a month since the last update. Still no content. Just taking my time with the header for now. I’d say it’s coming along pretty nice so far. I’m thinking that the content with have concrete and dirt from under the “house” as the background. Definitely all css and will attempt to use Jquery for some areas.

It’s been a while since my last post and I just wanted to post up a picture of what I’m working on. Besides trying to finish up OriginalLyricsForMusic.COM for a client of mine. I have been working on and experimenting with ideas for my new site redesign. This time around, my site will be 100% CSS. Here is a little preview of what I have so far. Not much, but I’m really taking my time with it.

How great is this ad?! Unfortunately I do not have this yet, and probably won’t for a while. A friend of mine just ordered from Adobe, so I hope to test this out soon! This was created by a group that call themselves Art Snob Solutions and you can view some -behind the scenes- pics of their creation on FLICKR.

There is a TON of “streetwear” brands out there.  I can’t even keep up anymore. If you consider all the people who also use online services to get their designs printed on tees, then there is no way to keep up anyway.

A lot of great ones and some not so much, but in my first “inspirational” post I wanted to put the spotlight on my two favorite brands, Imaginary Foundation and Grn Apple Tree. I own quite a few tees from each. They both use excellent and original imagery, artwork, and typography. I feel there is no better brands to look to for great inspiration.
