Wow this looks fantastic! I was completely unaware of the original 2005 short that this new feature is based on.

The original 9 directed by Shane Acker was released way back in April of ‘05 and was nominated for an Academy Award. You can check this out below. Disregard the odd added sounds that somehow made it into to the beginning of this clip.

The new full length produced by Tim Burton and featuring the voice talents of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, and Jennifer Connelly will be released in September. I’m really looking forward to this. If the short is any indication, then this is going to be great. Here is the trailer:(extra points for using The Knife in it!)

Photoshop isn’t JUST our friend…

These girls too….

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.

And in totally unrelated news, Imaginary Foundation has teamed up with Element Skateboards!

Head over there and grab one before they’re gone!

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.
