Christian Faur

I cannot get over these pieces done by Christian Faur...

Medium? Crayons; but not in the way you'd expect.










Also, check out his Fabric + Fiber pieces, and the Forgotten Children series.

Cloud Brushes


I was playing around with making custom Photoshop brushes this morning and figured some of you drawing folk might be interested in this set.

O:\Personal\Gedney\pshop brushes

Copy the file here on your local machine: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Brushes. Then after opening PShop, click your brush tool and load as the image to the left shows.

let me know if you need any help. -Ryan

360 Dress Code


Why didn't I think of this???

Harris Club + Iiams Photography





Several underutilized suites were removed to make way for the new, exclusive Harris Club at the United Center. The project introduced atypical elements into a sports bar venue, including lounge seating, fireplaces, pool tables and state-of-the-art technology.

Benefits to the client:
+ Transformed an underutilized space into a high-profile, high-demand destination
+ The tastefully branded space created another marketing opportunity for the United Center to serve its customer base
+ Made desirable, high-end suite accommodations more accessible to a broader potential audience of users
