Black and White Illustrations by Nicolas Delort
Nicolas Delort is an illustrator based in Paris, France. His website is http://www.nicolasdelort.com/ but it seems to be under construction, so I am going to send you to his blog and Tumblr instead. Delort’s work consists of pen and ink illustrations on scratchboard that were inspired by works like American Gods and Harry Potter.

Pittsburgh Marathon 2013
I haven’t posted at all this weekend! That is the first time in a loooong time. I ran a 5K this weekend with some coworkers the day before the Pittsburgh Marathon. We did it to raise money for a local organization called Urban Impact.
It was a good time and some of us got a chance to go to the Health and Fitness Expo. That was pretty fun also.

Have you thought about what you are going to get for her? I’ve been thinking of some ideas and I’m think I’ve found some fun gifts. I always turn to Etsy for this kind of thing. It is the perfect store to find unique gifts with a personal touch. Even if I don’t find something I want to buy, I usually find some inspiration. Read the whole post

DIY Ombre Tote Bag
This week’s Make Something Mondays project is a DIY ombre tote bag. Everyone seems to be so excited about the ombre style that I wanted to see what the hype is about. The whole way through this DIY, I kept thinking it is only okay. When I finished it though, it looked beautiful! I’m a big fan. Maybe just because the tote bag is pink? I’m not sure. I hope you guys enjoy this one! Read the whole post

Psychology of Color: Design Edition
Pretty fascinating compilation right? Infographic via webpage fx. Check that out, there is more.
As a designer, I’ve always been interested in color theory. During college, I took some psychology and sociology classes because the why behind everything sucked me in. Why do I like the color black? It isn’t a bold color that draws you in… Wondering is one thing, but I took it to a whole separate level and researched it, because I wanted to know why. Read the whole post

Sketch: 1970 Ford Mustang
I haven’t had a chance to draw in a loooooong time. So I sketched a little bit when I had a chance today. My subject of choice: 1970 Ford Mustang. A gorgeous classic car. My dad would be so proud!
