The Imagineers at Disney used to do stuff like this all the time at the studio, just for fun (when Disney used to be fun). When Thumbtack Press builds it’s corporate headquarters I’m decorating like this. Click the image above for more mindbending schtuff!

Shake it Up!

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

I’ve replaced the ‘What’s New’ box under our logo with a ‘Featured Print’ box and unwittingly created an efficient and effective way to browse through prints - just keep your mouse in one place and keep click’n! It also allows some of the earlier artists to be ‘refreshed’ back to the front page.

Somewhere along this [...]

Devon Bowman

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

Devon Bowman joins Thumbtack Press! A spectacular and tactile illustrator. He, of course, is a really amazing artist but he what really blows me away is his composition and layout, and he’s not afraid to push scale as you can see by the image above. Welcome Devon! www.thumbtackpress.com

Jeremy Forson

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

The versatile and talented Jeremy Forson has been added to the Thumbtack Press tackboard! I challenge you to find something that doesn’t resonate with you in Jeremy’s work. We are hoping that he submits a lot more work!

Welcome Jeremy! www.thumbtackpress.com

Masayoshi Mizuho

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Thumbtack Press welcomes Masayoshi Mizuho to the tackboard. Miz is from Kobe, Japan and brings with him a beautiful mix of Eastern tradition and composition but with modern-day elements. He also works in a Georges Seurat-esque pointilism style that cannot really be translated through a website, but is a wonder to view up close. [...]

You can now purchase prints of Oksana Badrak’s amazing work at Thumbtack Press!

The amazing Sarajo Frieden joins Thumbtack Press! She lives in LA but you’ve seen her work no matter where in the world you happen to live. She was also recently spot’lit’ on the coveted IllustrationMundo website if you can’t get enough of Sarajo, I know I can’t! www.thumbtackpress.com

I’m being published . . . in a high school text book?!

Monday, January 9th, 2006

A New York publisher has just obtained my Edgar Allan Poe piece above for an 11th grade English book, Elements of Literature which is to be published in 2007. I never got to see images like these in my 11th grade english book. I did this as a personal piece over four years ago and [...]

Bob Dob at La Luz De Jesus

Friday, January 6th, 2006

Thumbtack Press artist Bob Dob is part of an amazing two-man show (with Mark Bodnar) opening tonight at La Luz De Jesus in Hollywood. I got to see a sneak peak last night and all I can say is “damn, Bob’s good, and getting gooder!”

If you have the means I highly recommend that you buy [...]

Greg Simkins

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Thumbtack Press is thrilled to welcome Greg Simkins. His work may look ‘computer’ slick, but nope, thanks for playing! This guy’s got the chops with the brush. His work is an incredible collage of Saturday morning cartoons on LSD, but with the technical skill of a true master. I love seeing his work on the [...]

Looking for an image on Flickr just got a bit more interactive. Retrievr allows you to freakin’ sketch what you are looking for, it also searches results as you sketch! Wha . . . ? How . . . ? Who . . . ?
