I'm one of the masses of people that isn't
quite sure where a SmartWatch fits into my life but will, undoubtedly, come around to it eventually. The Apple Watch seems nice enough and many of the Android offerings look solid too. That being said, I find myself quite intrigued by the new
Pebble Time Round - the latest design from the eInk powered Pebble crew. The
intro video showcases a simplicity to the display and interface that I find refreshing. The animations seem a little quirky as well, which is actually a bonus in my opinion.
The physical device itself seems more watch-like than anything I've seen. It's got a low profile, an always-on display (like my actual watch) and sensible color combinations between band and face.
These wearable devices seem like an extravagance to me at the moment - a way to view a text message without having to cumbersomely reach into your pocket (that's sarcasm). I'm all for convenience but I'm not particularly
inconvenienced by my current setup. That being said, I am certainly intrigued.

I don't browse
Letterboxd lists very often but, occasionally, you run into a gem like a collection of movie posters featuring
Eyes. The variety of images is pretty astounding (though it does tend to skew towards the Horror genre). It's hard to pick a
single favorite but that's part of the delight.
Semi-related: it reminds me that I need to continue fleshing out my
Arms and Hands playlist.

I've been a longstanding fan of
Ryan Duggan for some time now, so it's quite exciting to see that
The Vacvvm has released
The Complete Drug Factory Press Print-Of-The-Week Poster Series Book (that title is a mouthful). It's 52 prints from 2014 capturing Duggan's distinctive illustration style depicting grim reapers, hawks with hoagies, piles of poo and gorgeously inked landscapes. Some may call it an odd combination but I find it to be the perfect mix.

The Last Cat started as a design collaboration between brothers Luke and Aaron Martinez but has grown over time to be more than just a singular creative outlet. It's an art gallery, an incubator for creativity and a marketplace to showcase the talents of their respected friends. They recently released a limited edition
Deth P Sun patch and have plenty of
previously released enjoyables.
There's a ton to see
on their blog and it's not
all cat related (though, a great deal of it is, thankfully). On the whole, it's a great place to get your creative fix.

Way back in 2013, Alex Myung launched a
successful Kickstarter project to fund his vision for an animated short film depicting the struggles of youth in the context of a young man struggling with coming out. The illustration style harkens to many of the anime greats - think Miyazaki as a
strong influence - and was all hand drawn by Myung himself. An incredible impressive feat to say the very least.
The first
official trailer has debuted and it looks great. I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into making such a creation but I'm excited to see more.

The team at
1767 Designs does an excellent job of going into old Nashville homes and rescuing building materials - wood, bricks, metalwork, etc. - to be re-used in their own creations. Their
blog is a compelling read to see the beautiful interior spaces they explore, albeit cut with a little sadness to know that they are on the cusp of being destroyed.
Recently, they opened the doors on their own
Shop, where they're offering coffee tables and decorative panels culled from the aforementioned building materials. They are rather compelled pieces and I love the idea of keeping a bit of old homes alive in a new space through their efforts.
