Currently waiting on a bundle of projects to come back from print. Plus quite a few we can’t show off yet. Anyhow, sink your teeth into these and get a taste of what is to come.

First, i’m going to list the sites I rumble through most days for inspiration… basic delaying tactics mixed with overly influenced idea generation.

Here they are in no particular order (apologies in advance to anyone who loses a day sifting through these links):

www.siteinspire.com
www.qbn.com
www.itsnicethat.com
www.grafikcache.com
www.thedesignfiles.net
www.formfiftyfive.com
www.bitique.co.uk
www.graphic-exchange.com
www.australianedge.net
www.behance.net
www.thefinderskeepers.com
www.andyrutledge.com
www.manystuff.org
ffffound.com
www.typojungle.net
madebysix.wordpress.com
www.underconsideration.com/brandnew
www.aisleone.net

Don’t get me wrong i’m not blaming them for any lack on productivity, in fact far from it–I love them and will miss them dearly, we may well produce no quality work for two weeks.

No, seriously it is time to close firefox, open my eyes, explore new ways of finding inspiration and breath in some fresh air. Call it my two week sabbatical, minus Bali, Sagmeister and a web browser.

Here goes…

Check out a few of the videos that are on his website…amazing.
