I DON’T MEAN TO BOAST, BUT….
….Isn’t this the best iPhone dock ever?
And all it took was a double-sided suction units.
BUY! HANDMADE FABRIC ACCESSORIES BY QTPI
My wife has opened her store with handmade products from rich European fabrics, such as functional iPhone and iPod wallets, elegant passport cases and notebooks, as well as sleepwear and limited photo prints. The products are made by hand, but are very qualitative and detailed. She has intended not to overprice the products but keep them considerably affordable compared to the market: most iPhone pouches are for sale at a mere US$10. Be sure to check out this limited selection.
TYPE: JAPANESE WEATHER (DOWNLOAD)
I’ve finished scanning the handmade letter and it’s ready for use. Please find the full version on my flickr stream here.
It’s under CC license, so do with it what you like; but please let me know if you use it.
TYPE: Japanese Winter (preview)
I’ve been working on some typography today, with simply a pair of scissors and a nice pattern sheet. Besides being incredibly therapeutic, I am very pleased with the result. I will scan the letters later and upload them for your own use: they’re available under the CC license so feel free to play around with them. If you do use them, please be so kind as to let me know what you did with it. Just for my own curiousity. I won’t sue you. Probably.
Japanese Winter has all the letters of the alphabet in capitals, all the numbers and some symbols : ?!@#&
FOUND: CLIPART OF HANDS
I uploaded some scans I made of some pretty clipart of fists and reindeer. I uploaded them to my flickr photo stream under the set “found!”.
Culture: The Signature generator
The past few days I’ve come across this TV advertisement. It runs for about a minute. The setup is simple: It tells you that for a successful job application, you need an impressive looking signature. This is illustrated by computer-animated job applicants, sprinting to a finish; one job applicant, with a cover letter that has been signed with a swirly, Obama-esque signature, reaches the finish line first and clearly is the winner.
Last.fm doesn’t fuck around.
Pay attention asshole! Fats Waller was dead before your parents were even conceived, don’t you DARE wandering off!

PROJECT: DISPOSITION
Disposition from David Wieland on Vimeo.
Disposition is a film project I made at the beginning of this year. I had no storyboard at all for this animation. I simply allowed each drawing to be influenced by my creativity, more or less based on each previous drawing. It became a visual stream of consciousness which took me somewhere I never realised I would end up. It was a very entertaining project.
Things I think are awesome: cyberpunks
Imagine the world going batfuck crazy. One nation accidentally chucks a bomb into rival territories, shattering the thin ice of truce, doesn’t matter how it happens: It’s hell on earth. The very foundation upon which our relation with each other is based, crumbles as soon as we realise: it’s every man for himself now. Suddenly you do give a shit that you’re next in queue for the groceries.
