Jennifer Murphy and Miranda Combs

Jennifer is a girl that has continued the
family legacy in hand made goods.
She has products all over the country
and has an amazing talent. I have only
seen her work, but it reminds
me a lot of work done by fellow RIT
graduate Miranda Combs
(3rd and 4th photos are work done
by Miranda)...so follow
Jennifer and look to see more
work from Miranda!

Reno Pottery

Through my research I came upon a
Western New York company called
Reno Pottery. I love their designs,
especially their use of line and color!
I really like the Rooster design over
the other designs, but I can't totally
tell why! Haha!

landscapes.

Keuka wine tour inspiration

I saw this book at Hunt Country winery
and I love the illustrations by
Darryl Abraham...all one in ink and Watercolor!
The book is called "Grape Pie Season."

Response to Futura.

So in a way this this my own Syracuse
hoodie...but it's kinds in response
to the video I saw on the artist
Futura and his "Orange" Nike line.
I created my own rough and tough
Otto, while incorporating the new "oldstyle"
block graphics down the arms and my Hoops
logo on the hood.

Sun Chips

So my mom bought this bag of sun chips
today...okkayy..wow...but the news
I want to share with you is that the
bag is completely compostable...meaning
within the correct measures the bag will
break down into soil in 1-2 months...turning
otherwise waste back into soil...amazing!!!
Look for more companies to follow! I am excited!

New Nike NCAA jerseys

Just a few examples of Nikes new NCAA
jersey's....Really sweet I must admit...
I love the color combinations and specific
graphic work for each college, especially
the Florida gators with the scales on the
jersey!!

Kicks recent inspiration: That's G

Inspired by the reinvention of Gatorade
and Meredith Mandel's typeface: Chunkfive, Kicks
looks to create a similar feel in its clothing line with
the sporty and bold look of Chunk. I
found yet another a similar font in Deeb...Gatorade
is almost like a blend of Chunk and Deeb!

jennie bregande photography

So I came cross this photographer on facebook.
She does local Syracuse photography. I really
enjoy her style....and you know her photographs
are good when you get a "special feeling" when
you look at them. Check out Jennie at:

Clarks

So in this world I am big into branding...
I don't prefer expensive brands, just brands that
have flavor and provide character...Clarks shoes
in one such brand; I particularly love their signature logo.
I own a few Clarks boat shoes. They so comfortable and reallly
light weight. Plus I enjoy some of their designs...
So look into Clarks.
