e were drafted to Dribbble last month, and promptly forgot about it until a week ago. Since then, we’ve posted several previews of new things we’ve been working on and have also connected with a wonderful group of designers. There’s still a grip of new work to be added to our portfolio, but for now, Dribbble (and Behance) are the best places to stay updated with what we’re doing.

I’m sure a lot of you are wondering if we have Dribbble invites. The answer is no; but once we do, we might just make an announcement for draftees. :)

just received this really amazing print from the Davier Interactive studio titled Schmooze n’ Booze, a bi-monthly gathering in collaboration with the Fresno Advertising Federation for like-minded creatives to connect, shoot the shit, mingle and network to their hearts content.

What I really love about this print is its nostalgic appeal. Like something straight out of a classic 1960s children’s root beer ad. I seriously have a soft spot in my heart for this illustrative style. I especially love the choice of colors, and to top it off, the subtle Davier Interactive icon on the bottle. Very nice touch fellas.

Additionally, I spoke with my buddy Sebastian, (one of the designers and developers from Davier), about the possibility of them creating a t-shirt out of this design. I sincerely hope they do. This would make a killer shirt. I’d definitely sport it.

Be sure to check out more work from the Davier Interactive studio via Behance. They’ve got a great portfolio worth perusing.

here have been many things we’ve been meaning to do since our re-launch. For one, we’re working to get our custom shop off the ground in the coming months, but before that officially happens, we’ll be launching a temporary (online pop-up, if you will) shop on Big Cartel to sell some prints and custom notebooks. To be notified of such happenings, follow us on Twitter or sign up for our mailing list in the footer. Secondly, we’ll be slowly but surely rolling out the list of upgrades & additions below:

• Portfolio section with category filters
• Post display filter (to switch between the current post view, and an image-only grid view)
• Community links (for anyone to submit design-related news)
• A visual archive
• Graphical related posts
• An Off the colorShelf page (highlighting books, magazines and albums that we enjoy)
• More series-related posts
• A monthly (maybe bi-monthly) email newsletter with news & special offers

We’ll also be welcoming the addition of new writers to contribute more interesting content to the blog. We’re pretty excited for a film series curated by the human encyclopedia otherwise known as Drew Wiltsey. Also, be sure to use the ‘like’ button on our posts. We know it’s a bit obscure and small, but it’s the little heart located at the bottom of each post (specifically in the marginalia column). This is one of a few ways that we are able to discover which posts our readers enjoy most. Lastly, we’d love to hear from you about what you’d like to see on the blog, whether it’s content related, feature requests, or even bug fixes we might not be aware of (egad!). Send us an email, or sound off in the comments. Thanks for reading.
