Red Panda Shirt cont.

Just an update on the Red Panda image that I may submit to Threadless. This is a closer iteration of what the final idea will resemble. The way the Panda interacts with the diamond shape is still a bit incongruous, but I just need to make the movement more dynamic, so it looks like the panda is leaping through the opening. Right now it looks like it’s just leaning over the edge, and doesn’t have a sense of motion. Anyhow, the next version will, hopefully, be posted within the next week or so.

Cthulhu Opera House development.

Sketches of various elements that will be part of a coat-of-arms for an opera house, with an octopus/cthulhu head.

Time and design.

A good design is like wine, or cheese. It needs to age before it reaches any real level of potential. You can’t just hammer it out in a few hours, or even a few days, and expect it to stand the test of time. It needs to appreciate in value.

Like a crystal growing in solution, or a plant, good design has an emergent quality. The best parts crystallize and the ephemera falls away.
