Scott Listfield is known for his paintings featuring a lone exploratory astronaut lost in a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references.
Man in (our cultural) space?
Evocative.

MUTI based in Cape Town / SA – were designated to create a South African safari scene – as part of a global promotion project for Lufthansa – with an aim to portray several interesting and entertaining situations taking place in the teeming crowd.
The round medallions is a cool approach to convey being immersed in a particular setting or situation. As you can see – the illustrations are brimming over with details – but not overwhelmingly so.
Good job.

Prompted to do this post following a recent tweet: ‘The sheer amount of ‘on / off’ – websites that ‘vanished’ is crazy. Thinking of all the man hours and dreams that have disappeared.’ – and ensuing exchange with Chris Tse.
_______
After releasing a little (www) Story – and ystd – reading an article about the people behind the Wayback Machine to discovering that ‘websites last in average 100 days!’ What???? to which Mike Sullivan replied: ‘Viral / campaign sites? Some 30 days.’
_______
Sifting the archives to see if some of the pre-database years featured awsm people / projects are still around.. to do an encore..
I found the multi-awarded MadeinMTL project – of which production cost must have been upwards of multi-hundred grands in government grants + corporate sponsorships to produce this interactive documentary.
Version 1.0 + 2.0 were released.
I followed the link and I was really shocked (do it). To be honest – I don’t get it. Read the feature to understand the scope of loss.
_______
I am blown away! MadeinMTL is a touristic destination site for both visitors and locals. Although this is my hometown, I must admit that the teams (Locomotion and BlueSponge) behind this little jewel have done their darndest to cover the City which is known for its load of good food and creative vibe, shopping, its underground city and lots of cultural events and festivals and much much more.
You can even make your own itinerary. Now if you plan to visit – don’t forget to visit the site and give me a shout!
Here’s what you can find on the site: 425 addresses, 15 000 pictures, 400 texts, 50 hours of video, 40 sound scapes and 25 shorts.

Showing: Version 1.0

Christine Tafoya is a self-professed design addict and renamed ‘etiquette‘ by ‘manners‘ to describe her online store Dear Miss Modern Market ethos where you can find exquisite ‘templates’ for special occasions.
_______
I am a grown-up geeky tomboy eye candy seeking editor while she is this buoyant festive stylish stylist for brand and home!
She recently quipped: ‘HTML gives me asthma.’ To which I replied: ‘<a><strong>O2</strong></a>’.

She befits perfectly the description of a Powagirrrl: Women who rock the design scene with more than pink design..
..and Pink is definitely a predominant color with none of the pejoratives.
