Divide and Conquer!

I love finding inspiring design elements! When I saw these artsy room dividers it gave me all sorts  ideas...

These first two photos are of a cool modular hanging piece by Koziol. Are they dividers, wall decoration or just cool objects de art? You can see more of their great designs at www.koziol-gluecksfabrik.de

I also found these "Swarm" screens from Mike & Maaike really interesting!

Not only does it look really great in multi colors, but if you just happen to have a huge warehouse and would like to create your own indoor urban forest, now you know where to go! www.mikeandmaaike.com

Modern and graphic dividers like these would look great in the Ziggling studio!

My Longtime Source for Great CG!

Occasionally I like to blog about the places I frequent on the net. My friends over at CG Society have been creating some of the coolest articles for years now. With a range of Pro to Beginner work galleries, Workshops and News, they are a well-rounded source to peak at when you're in the 3D mood.


Some of my favorite CG art has been found here at CG Society, it's often the cartoony characters, with great expression that tell a story in a single frame that grab me. Check em' out!

Ziggling's "Love Life" Gals Jersey

We are proud to announce our newest design called "Love Life"! Our extremely soft scoop neck jersey done in plum. With wide cuffs and longer length this 100% cotton piece is super soft as is all Ziggling apparel.
 

For this design Tonia created a wrap-around print that starts the Love Life poem on the front and blossoms into graphic flower petals through the side and back.

As always, our apparel is hand-printed here in California in our boutique studio.

We've also added a sleeve "Love Life" graphic with a printed Ziggling tag all done in our soft white ink.

More Ziggling, Alternative brand and Celebrities

So last time we talked about Ziggling, Alternative Apparel and Celebs we found a few of the Twilight Saga Stars kickin it around town.

This time we found Charlize Theron (left) in her Alternative Burnout Fleece Comfy.



We also have Jessica Biel (right) seen here traveling with her Alternative LS (Long Sleeve) Sleepover Tee. I'm not sure how comfy those leggings are, but she does know how to pick a good travel top and look good.

Jullianne Hough is here in her Alternative Long Sleeve Zip Hoodie (Unisex). We love this one, it's a light-weight hoodie great for Fall and under a coat in Winter!

We've used the Alternative Hoodie (Blue Heather) here for our Ziggling Skater Jump Graphic. It's a great piece and the people that buy these from us always tell us how much they love them too!

The rest of our super-soft and comfortable Ziggling Graphic Tee and Apparel line can be seen here:

Visual Effects & The Eye Candy Makers

I'll never forget the summer I moved to San Francisco, straight outta' college I was all eager to get into the Visual Effects industry and work on some of the biggest and baddest FX films out there. I wanted to create the cool imagery that everyone would see when they went out to the big Summer blockbusters! I wanted to be one of the Eye Candy Makers!

I was in a small book store and stumbled across a magazine that thrilled me to the core. It had 1998's Godzilla on the front and when I flipped through it I was sure I found the coolest book-like magazine out there. Crazy eye-candy, a fun read for an FX geek like me and a resource worth archiving into a collection. After all, these "magazines" are more like little books!

This issue with Captain America on the front is another exciting one for me as I did some Concept Design and Matte Painting on the film. Many of my friends and co-workers are mentioned alongside their great works too! Congrats to everyone who worked so hard!
