Comments Off on Nate UteschIllustration
Nate Utesch has a loose throwback style that uses broad strokes of ink. It’s a very editorial look that references old school comics and it’s a refreshingly ‘non-digital’ affair.
Comments Off on Eric FrommeltGraphic Design
“I’m a Youngstown, Ohio born – Brooklyn, New York based artist and designer.
My work explores the idea of networks and systems through the synthesis of fundamental design elements, geometry and abstraction. I’m obsessed with technology, maps, data visualizations, information graphics, technical diagrams, infrastructure, architecture and complexity – all of which informs my work.”
It’s always interesting to see a designer who sticks to a point of view and Eric Frommelt definitely does. It’s like looking at imaginary data visualization posing as digitally produced abstract expressionism. Hmm…to file under ‘art’ or ‘graphic design’?

“George Dawe was an English portrait artist who painted 329 portraits of Russian generals active during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
I’m using digital copies of these paintings as a basis for my own work which involves incorporating my friends, family and even some celebrities into the paintings using photoshop.”
Comments Off on Drew Millward: UpdatesIllustration
Artist and illustrator Drew Millward has updated with several new works, many of which serve as a refreshing extension of his style. He’s experimenting more with color also which also serves as a nice break. In short, I’m digging it big time.
Comments Off on Future ProofDirection
“The DMC Initiative (DMCI) developed this piece as a response to the 2011 A/NZ PromaxBDA Conference title of Future Proof.
Directed by Nathan Drabsch, the performances were shot over one day using two RED Epic cameras, capturing the action at high speed. All design, editing and post production was done in-house by The DMCI team. We worked closely with composers and audio designers Mark Brandis & Jeff Black from ism studios, to create a unique score that perfectly compliments the performances.”

Comments Off on Changethethought StudioCtt News
Well I am sure you have noticed that my blogging pace has slowed quite a bit these past few months. The reason being is that about 20 months ago I launched the Changethethought production studio. In the past year we have completed around 50 or so motion design, 3D, illustration and graphic design related projects. Our focus so far has tended to be motion and 3D but we are still delivering a lot of illustration and graphic design based projects for print. We are still very much just starting out with this new venture but we’ve managed to work with some exciting agencies and clients already. Our best projects so far are currently in the pipeline so please keep an eye on our portfolio as it will be changing often.
You can view our new site and reel here: changethethought.tv
Thanks so much as always for supporting Changethethought and expect a lot of new things to happen in the coming months.

Comments Off on Nacho RojoPhotography
Not only is Nacho Rojo quite possibly the coolest name you have heard in a long time that doesn’t belong to a Mexican Wrestler, it also represents the work of a pretty kick ass photographer and I am particularly loving this set of images from his Behance-Folio.
Comments Off on The Foundry CollectiveGraphic Design
The Foundry Collective is a new print, illustration and branding shop that caught our eye here in Denver. They have a unique throwback style and an amazing eye and hand at type and illustration. We were super excited to discover that they call Denver home and hope they help us keep raising the bar here.
Comments Off on Saiman Chow // Ray-BanMotion Graphics

Comments Off on Kustaa Saksi: UpdatesIllustration
Illustrator Kustaa Saksi recently updated with several new projects, all featuring the patent psychedelic swimming neon colors that the Saksi name carries with it. And that is all a very good thing.
Comments Off on AJ Dimarucot: UpdatesIllustration
I have been there before but somehow stumbled again today on the work of illustrator/designer AJ Dimarucot and was once again impressed by his work and style. It appears there are some new things in his book too that weren’t there the last time I dropped in. I am loving his free-wheeling style when it comes to type.

Comments Off on Studio Output: UpdatesGraphic Design
Studio Output has kept busy this past year and updated yet again with a lot of interesting new work. It’s all kind of a mixed bag in their portfolio in terms of how it’s displayed but start clicking around and you will find a lot of new inspirational goodies.
Comments Off on Nine SuitcasesGraphic Design
Nine Suitcases is the work of Adrian Morris who has a well rounded portfolio featuring an adept hand at graphic design, photography and illustration.
Comments Off on Sander van Dijk: UpdatesMotion Graphics
Sander van Dijk is a motion designer who has a very unique reel. He’s had a hand in animating for some heavy hitters like King and Country but he definitely has a unique perspective and his geometric inspired puzzle animations are extremely fun to watch.
Comments Off on Chris BurnettTypography
Chris Burnett is a BFA3 student at CalArts in the Graphic Design program. He already has a portfolio that shows a tremendous amount of maturity and an attention to typography that most veteran designers would be jealous of. It’s a safe bet to keep an eye on this young man because is going to go far.
Comments Off on AnckMotion Graphics
Anck is the work of Renaud Futterer. He is a motion designer who recently relocated to London and is on the hunt for new projects. Judging by his reel, it probably won’t take him long to get busy.
Comments Off on Run SilentMotion Graphics
Run Silent is another audio engineering company responsible for putting the finishing sound touches on work produced by the likes of Prologue and Onesize. You will definitely recognize some of the work on their reel if you are a TV junky.
