Aaron Ruell

"If Aaron Ruell's photographs were not so deliciously quirky, their startlingly good presentation would look completely at home in the most upmarket of interior magazines. His wickedly precise attention to detail, his eye for color, his deadpan sense of humor shine out of every shot. Somehow Ruell makes the offbeat look absolutely perfect."

ReubenMiller's Got a Brand-Spanking New Look!

I'm sure you've noticed by now that we've got a fresh new look for the blog. After a lot of coding, tweaking and generally making a mess of CSS, I've managed to get it to look half-decent (let me know what you think of it!) It still remains a work-in-progress. The goal of this redesign was to make it easier to get around and add some more color. After all, you know we're suckers for color!

Last but not least, our large header incorporates the work of a featured artist. We'll be featuring different artists in that space and rotating them over time to keep things interesting. This isn't a sponsored spot, but rather a testament to our support of great artists. Our first feature is of the brilliant and witty Simon Oxley, one of our all-time favorites.

Enjoy!

22 of the World's Most Creative Alphabets

There are so many crazy ways to write the ABC's. It's a great creative exercise - it would do me well to try my own when I hit a creative slump. I'm amazed at the ingenuity of some of these. This collection of alphabets was gathered from the portfolios of artists, photographers and design students around the world. Credits are noted where known. If you see any with missing credits, please share in the comments - thanks in advance.

[UPDATE] We've updated this list to include an additional 19 examples. See the updated collection here
