  I could not be more proud and humbled at this moment. I have a new son, Jackson Titus King, named by his 2 year old brother, Jameson. My amazing wife Toni, gave birth to him at 12:43pm on April 6th, 2009.

• Squared Eye

  Mar 26 8 design, Illustration, Inspiration, Squared Eye

  

  Holy flippin’ hamsters, this site is beautiful. I don’t know if I’ve seen a site that I love every “square” inch, but I sure do with Squared Eye. From it’s calming hues, to it’s sexy image preview tool tips, to it’s subtle fading navigation, I love it all!

  I love the cartoony, yet professional feel – something that I don’t even know if I know how to nail yet. With it’s generous use of white-space, large fonts, smooth-yet-subtle animations and the whale with ear-to-ear grins (I guess I’m loving hyphens), and gratuitous use of Archer, I dig this site big time.

  Do check it out. Do tell them that it is hot. Do make a site that is original, fun and smooth like theirs. Do subscribe to this site’s feed now, ’cause more inspiration is coming. Rock the free world.

• TimVanDamme.com

  Jan 17 16 apple, business card, design, Inspiration, Rogie King, Tim Van Damme

  
  I’m going to write about a very obvious inspiration, which is Tim Van Damme’s site: timvandamme.com. This site very obviously has design cues taken from Apple’s design style, yet it feels it’s own some how. Rarely do I see a site and am compelled to design based off of that inspiration. It takes something special, something I’m not even sure of the recipe for, yet something I love to spark me to model one of my own creations based off of that creation. Tim’s site did that for me. I loved the simplicity and single focusedness of this site. I love that it serves one purpose. I love that it is clear and direct. I love that it is beautiful.

• Inspiration behind Komodo Media

  Dec 01 19 design, Inspiration, kmv4

  I’ve seen a lot of drama over new site designs claiming to have been “inspired” by great site designs. I’ve also seen quite a few complete ripoffs. It seems that imitation being the best form of flattery has been taken to a new extent and that some great designers are getting their sites totally ripped [...]

  So, I’m gonna keep up with showing all y’all what I find. I can’t afford to do it daily, but after I find enough stuff on the interweb, I’ll keep sharing it.
  I know this much. Lists like this really help me. I’m typically an out-of-the-loop sort of fella, so by the time I find [...]

• Inspiration from Cabel

  Oct 08 19 cabel, design, Inspiration, print, wedding

  

  I haven’t been this inspired in a year, or around a year. Well, heck I don’t know how long its been – but the last thing that inspired me this much was sneak peeks of Street Fighter 4’s watercolor-y goodness. I was obsessed with the Street Fighter series as a youngster (maybe it was Chun Li), but enough about that. This post is about Cabel Sasser’s wedding.
