Check out some of these behind-the-scenes photoshoot pix.
There are more pictures at Grotto Madrid’s myspace (click on a picture to go there).
We are still trying to keep most of the designs under wraps.

Just messing around… (power under control)
Published September 19, 2008 Culture , Design , Grotto Madrid 1 CommentI was playing around with some different photoshop techniques. Sometimes you have to limit the trendiness when doing corporate marketing/design work. I don’t really get to play around much anymore. (Although Grotto Madrid is a GREAT outlet) It feels really good to just let some of the creative juices flow.
A lot of young designers like to throw every skill they know into one design. Not cool. I like to excert “Power under control” over every design I do.
Yoda is a perfect (geek) example of this. We all saw him fight Count Dooku: pure craziness. But Yoda doesn’t travel everywhere flying and doing flips; most days he uses a cane! He has power under control.
Thanks for reading,

P.S. Our Grotto Madrid shirts came in today! Our photoshoot is on Sunday. I’m Stoked!
Kanye re-did this song for the better.
Click the new and improved graphic (Kanye:”For all you design snobs”) to listen to the new track.
The song is from Kanye West’s fourth album entitled 808’s and Heartbreak. The album is scheduled to be released on December 16, 2008. Merry Christmas!
This is extremely funny (and maybe a little bit true)!
This scenario doesn’t happen all the time but it definitely occures sometimes. To be sure, Committees can produce good things (I love a good brainstorming session), but most great art/mind-blowing concepts aren’t born in a crowd.
I saw Kanye’s VMA preformance and, even though I’m not huge fan of the autotune/talk-box stuff, I didn’t think it was too bad. This single sounds a little different though and I’m not sure what I think yet. Let me know how you feel about it.

I just wanted to show everyone a couple of pictures that hint at what Tyler and I have been working on.
This stuff is just the tip of the iceberg as far as concepts go.
We are really busy getting ready for our photoshoot on September 21. It’s going to be great!
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
As if we needed any more proof! . . . I mean just look at him!
