The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes

If only I had a couple more weeks notice, I could have taken advantage of a few vacation days and gone to see the Alan Aldridge exhibit at the Design Museum in London. Of course, the day that I learn about this exhibit, is the day after it has finished. It was called The Man with Kaleidoscope Eyes.

Alan is a huge inspiration from his whimsically fantastical illustrations, and his many graphical projects that were well known in the 60s and 70s. Possibly most well known for his visual interpretation of the Beatles Illustrated Lyric book. The exhibit looked like an alice and wonderland trip mixed with a musically visual aesthetic that would leave me wandering for hours in awe.

Today he is my source of inspiration and I hope I get to cross paths with some of his work in person.

Design by Humans

Great tshirt design finds of the day!

I’ve been hunting around for some inspirational design shirts lately. Much like those found on Veer’s site, or perhaps something like Threadless, but edgier, and more intriguing. Design by humans is definitely an inspiration in this direction. Though as a result of not finding exactly what I wanted, I think I may actually start designing some shirts of my own. I’m going to get the sketch pads out and start scheming and plotting! Can’t find it – make it, right?

To be continued…
