It is Finished
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design, Faith
Design by Jim LePage
Abaout a year ago I interviewed and featured Jim LePage and his Word Designs project – his unique and modern illustrated poster series of the 66 books of the Bible. Since then we’ve become pretty great friends (what’s the “guy love” equivalent of online dating?)
Today he posted the very last of his series of 91 total prints.
Please take time to see the entire series on his site and if you do not own one of these for your home (or the entire set for your church) then today is a great day to remedy that problem. Check the Revelation post to see how to take advantage of a sale going on right now – or how to win a free print of your own.
Proud of you Jim for sticking to it man.

Have I Lost my Soul? Design Inspiration from a Satanist
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design, Found
Design by Metastazis
I found this interview with Metastazis founder Valnoir incredibly inspirational.
When I first started freelancing as a designer I had this attitude that my ideas may be weird, but I believe in them—and only clients that love to take risks and can trust me need apply.
Valnoir obviously has the same foundation to his work. From metastazis.com welcome page: Read the rest of this entry »

2015 is only Five Years Away
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design, Found
I don’t know how many times a week I say “man, I could really use a hoverboard right now.”
I was starting to worry that they might not arrive by 2015 and the whole space-time continuum would be jacked.

Commercials are Awesome
Posted by Troy | Filed under Found
I started producing TV ads about 5 years ago. I’ve never watched commercials the same way since.
These two are both amazing and definitely “work.” I’ll even stop channel flipping just to catch one.

Odorifous: TJ Walsh
Posted by Troy | Filed under Odorifous
This is the first of Odorifous (ó · der · í · fuss) another new ongoing series at Strong Odors. Each week I’ll be posting an interview with an artist, illustrator, musician, explorer or some other type of person from a variety of interests/backgrounds that I find interesting in some way. Each individual will answer the same set of questions and I really look forward to seeing each person’s unique answers.
TJ Walsh is a Philadelphia designer who does most of his professional work for non-profit organizations. I discovered him on Twitter while searching for “art” and “faith” one day. His work stood out immediately. I love how his personal work in particular represents his faith and/or spiritual emotion without becoming religious/cliche/obvious.
I really appreciate his candor in the interview and I’m happy to kick this series off with his responses.

Different Shade of You T-shirt Design
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design
My most recent submission is up for voting on Design by Humans—“Different Shade of You”
I feel good about the design… it is probably the most trendy thing I’ve done, but I still like it… and I think it’ll do well.
I’ve kind of had a vision of this for years… the design is inspired by a HUM song called “Suicide Machine.” Sometimes you just get designs in your head and you have to get them out somewhere… sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t… but it always seems to clear out a lot of space in my mind…
Take a minute, sign up at DBH and show a brother some love.
