Born and raised in Sweden, Kalle Gustafsson studied film in Sydney and photography in Paris. The majority of his work revolves around fashion-based advertising spreads, but his personal work is really something. With full bodied color and warm heavy shadows, Kalle’s work feels like a reinvention of old photography. The grain of each picture has… [Read more…]

I’ve recently been exploring Ellsworth Kelly in my search for pure minimalism simple abstract works. Kelly is a painter that comes from the time period of abstract expressionism, and his hard edged paintings were a large influence on the minimalist movement past the 1950s. Picasso was Kelly’s initial influence, and he often studied the figure… [Read more…]

Because of Nick Meek’s new exhibition in Paris at Colette, his photography has popped up on my radar through Hypebeast. After studying photography in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Nick spent a lot of time traveling, compiling a large portfolio of empty landscapes and portraiture (at times, quite humorous). Aside from working with large clients such as… [Read more…]

While scoping out some interesting articles on designboom, I came across Daily Stack and was really impressed. Daily Stack is a tool that connects to your computer and monitors the amount of time you’ve spent on Working, Procrastinating, and Breaks- each represented by a wooden blue square, green circle, or orange triangle.

Siggi Eggertsson is a graphic designer/ illustrator that I’ve always loved. Hailing from Akureyri, Iceland, Siggi works in almost more of a “fine arts” realm with his work as it takes on a delicate and labor-intensive form. He does every piece and design on a grid, using “pixels” and geometric shapes to construct pictures, places,… [Read more…]

This piece was just made to put my logo in a nice setting. Ive replaced the previous signature logo with a more condensed branding of sorts- the simple circle with my initials “CT” in the top left. The bottom right “invent” is just for the helluvit. Enjoi.

Came across these beautifully made videos today from a design/ visual performance unit in Japan called Bonsajo. Not only are the first two videos really fun to watch- stunning graphics and colors- but they also have nice little beats behind them; a delicate mix of drum&bass with a little bit of a hum to it.… [Read more…]
