This piece is actually a remix of an event poster that we made for my Electronic Music Moniker, Masmöd. I have to say, I prefer this piece to the original. Christy and I are still deciding whether or not we want to include this along with our other submissions to the CA competition. We have to make up our minds by tonight, because the deadline is tomorrow. Either way, this was really fun to mess with.

Enjoy

I apologize in advance if the title of this post comes off sounding arrogant in anyway. On the contrary, we’re just really excited about the coming of the new year. Although we’re a bit early, we’re always thinking about how we can improve Colorcubic. We’ve really been on each others cases about nailing down our design and development skills, and never getting comfortable with where we are as far as design goes in general. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we’re never really satisfied with the work we produce. Instead, we’re always trying to raise the bar in some way or another. Anyway, this “2009″ print is our final submission to the Communication Arts competition. We’re keeping our fingers crossed in hopes that they’ll choose some of our work. Whatever the case, all of it was fun to work on, and if we don’t wind up in this publication, then we’ll shoot for something else.

Enjoy

[AFTER]

[BEFORE]

Here is another one of the prints that we are submitting to the Communication Arts competition. We decided to do this a little differently by posting our reworked version along side the original photograph (which was taken by: Debbie Baxter) just to give anyone who’s interested an idea of the process it took to produce this piece. This 11 X 17 print is a promotional piece for the Australian baby rock apparel company: Rock My Baby. This was a really fun piece to work on, and we put a lot of effort into it, so hopefully Communication Arts will except the submission. Wish us luck, and enjoy.

We finally finished an 11 x 20 print motif for Nueva Forma™ musica internacional, an electronic music label of Colorcubic. Once we’re finished redeveloping colorcubic.com, and nuevaforma.com we’re planning on releasing this print for sale.

We’ll be sure to post the release of when this is officially on sale and ready to ship out.

Hope you enjoy.

Peace,

We’ve had a few inquiries about our prints going on sale. Unfortunately we usually only attempt to sell our prints at live music events we’re involved with in some way. Because we’ve been so preoccupied with redesigning / redeveloping colorcubic.com, as well as all of our current projects underway, we’re probably not going to be selling anything for a while. That and the fact that our online store isn’t up as of yet.

We were going to put up the store sooner, but we figured we’d wait for the new site to go live. At that point we’ll probably start selling our prints again, and this time making it more available than to just fellow Portlanders.

That being said, we have been rather discouraged about our older prints. Besides the event posters we’ve produced for “digital organics”, or “dis-order technology”, a lot of the concepts we’ve produced are more personal than anything. I’m sure as some of you have experienced, it’s easy to beat yourself up over trying to create something you’ll always be happy with. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we’re not very happy with any of our older prints, (say for a few), and so we might have to just say goodbye to those altogether.

I suppose if there’s a great enough demand we’ll start reproducing them again, but at this point they’ve been filed away in our cabinet of no return. We are however brainstorming newer concepts, and will be previewing them as soon as they’ve reached a place we’re happy with. More to come on that later.

Anyway, for now we’re off to photograph some beautiful flowers by flowerbud™. We’ll be sure to write more later today.
Peace,
