Oregon Fire Lines
New production from VBS about the wildland firefighters who work for Grayback Forestry in Southern Oregon. I’ve known several folks who are seasonal fighters in the Rockies and I can attest from their stories it’s not for the weak bodied or weak minded. Grueling work, extremely dangerous and you’d better have an arsenal of witty [...]

Star Wars Planet Posters
I love how simple and gritty these are, not trying to be cute or have some clever reference. Just plain good design. Via Flickr and for sale here.

Off the Hanger: Magnum P.I.
The fashion industry’s newfound love for all things Hawaiian shirts got me thinking about the master of that genre, Magnum. I also found this site that is basically the Magnum style bible.

Back when I first started watching Yan Can Cook, he was one of only a handful of Master Chefs on the planet. Dazzling knife skills combined with an equally dazzling [...]

Rex Ray
Caught a doc on artist/designer Rex Ray on PBS last night (produced by a Denverite so might have been local-only). Interesting story mostly for his practical approach to making and selling art. His hybrid fine art/graphic design style is just as at home in galleries as it is on take home work to be sold [...]
Off the Hanger: Gump
Really solid styling in this movie. Re-watch just for the consistent look Forrest keeps from leg brace days to telling bench stories. Also reminded me of the amount of CG work that was added to the film (looks dated now) but I think blazed the trail of thinking for its integration into all genres. Shirt [...]
