Great opening title sequence for Shameless (TV series, US version). Simple and extremely effective portrait of the show’s essence. A great example of how moving picture and sound (the song ‘The Luck you got’ by The High Strung is awesome,by the way) can match so perfectly. Not new but never got to post it before. Superb […]

iPad Keyboards Round-up
Ellis Hamburger at The Verge has put up a nice round-up of keyboards for the iPad. Check the video below for insightful tidbits and quick reviews of the keyboards.

Trying to Find All Them Boxes
Chris Pirillo’s father tries Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It’s difficult to understand a piece of software if there are no visual cues of essential navigation elements.

Inspire Yourself
Nice article on Computer Arts by illustrator and art director Justin Maller exposing the overrated sense of “inspiration” the media imply and its naked truth: Becoming a better artist comes from putting in thousands of hours of work. Unpaid, unappreciated, unappealing work. It comes from staying up until 2am experimenting in Photoshop and then dragging your ass out […]
