Wu-Tang Design Remix Project pt.2
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
So I want to take back something I said in Part 1 -- "almost all of the Wu-Tang album art was horrible" is a bit too harsh I think. Some people have really run with that and gotten quite upset, and rightfully so. There are definitely some good ones in there. I've thought about it and I think it would be more accurate to say that my real problem with the original covers was how disjointed they all looked when put in the same playlist. The cleverest thing the Wu-Tang Clan ever did was negotiate separate contracts for everybody, but since these came out on so many different labels the cover art varies drastically. The "Wu-Note Project" is my attempt to amend this all the covers work as a set.
Let me know what you guys think of Part 2, either in the comments here or on Flickr, where I'm posting each as they're made. All in all I'm pretty happy with them, although I wish there was a Killa Bees Volume 2 fit into this series chronologically so I could do that Thelonius Monk yellow/red trick.

New York Magazine Approval Matrix
Thursday, May 28th, 2009
I've always loved the NY Magazine Approval Matrix, and now the Wu-Note Project is in my favorite quadrant: Brilliant/Lowbrow. Does this mean I can put "More brilliant than Cat Power and Captain Kirk" -NY Mag on my next resume?

Logan Makes Tumblr
Monday, May 25th, 2009
I caved and created a Tumblr. So far the posts just consist of images from my " design inspiration" folder, songs I've been digging, cover art from songs I've been digging, reposts of Eric's Tumblr, and shared items from Google Reader. It's been a fun experiment in posting things quickly (sometimes automatically) without thinking about them nearly as much as I do for posts here. It's like a quick and dirty version of this site.
Oh and Wu-Note Round 2 is just around the corner -- I'm psyched.

Xtranormal.com: my first movie
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
I guess this is old news but a few of us at work just started playing around with xtranormal recently. My friend Matt made a NSFW clip here: http://www.xtranormal.com/watch?e=2009051222281376
