Where are you from, what's the last book you read, and what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? :)
I’m originally from Northern Minnesota. The Last book i read was Insanely Simple: The Obsession That Drives Apple’s Success by Ken Segall. My favorite flavor of ice cream is Starbucks Hot Chocolate.

Not long after the loss of Ralph McQuarrie, we lose another great Designer / Comic Artist in Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius. Much like McQuarrie, Moebius worked on such seminal films as Ridley Scott’s Alien, Tron, The Abyss and many more. Moebius set the tone for an entire generation of men’s ideas of what will make the future “cool.” Moebius died at the age of 73, he will be missed.
Work we did for Rebel Magazine, This month we designed the cover and did two editorial illustrations for the current issue. Check them out here.

Interview by Cory Michael Skaaren
Tim Mantoani has for the past five years been creating portraits of some of the world’s most noted photographers holding onto their favorite of the photos they have taken over their careers. Neil Leifer’s image of Muhammad Ali standing over a knocked-out Sonny Liston, Harry Benson’s epic photo of The Beatles having a pillow fight and Steve McCurry’s famed portrait of the Afghan Girl from the cover of National Geographic, to name a few. At the bottom of each Polaroid, the photographer is asked to write out a short story about their image in their own penmanship. In cases, these words are as revealing about the photographer as the image itself.

This is fantastic. Reposted from No Context.
Young. Talented. And then there’s the accent. Automotive designer and Australian native Max Wolff, Lincoln’s Director of Design, is leading the transformation of Lincoln’s lineup of luxury vehicles. As the luxury automotive brand plans seven significantly refreshed or new vehicles over the next three years, Wolff and his team will be key to creating world-class luxury vehicles. Wolff, 39, is the product of humble beginnings. The inquisitive young lad grew up in Melbourne, Australia. His parents—each teachers—encouraged his curiosity and creativity. And, after his father brought him an automotive magazine at 12, he realized that he could make a living out of doing what he loved—drawing cars. But the road to success wasn’t as smooth as the ride of the 2013 Lincoln MKS. Wolff’s work history ranges from demolition work and picking grapes to mixing drinks to make ends meet. The young designer’s eclectic background and international experience from Australia and Asia to North America, with design credits that include Design director for Cadillac Exterior, make him the perfect steward for the Lincoln rebirth.
