One of my best friends, illustrator Erik Jones, does some amazing work. Was on ffffound.com tonight and saw a new piece of his - except it WASN'T his. It was done by a woman named Charmaine Olivia. She's not only taken his style, but his subjects too:

What is the world's obsession with this guy? What am I not understanding? (I'm sure there is actually a perfectly good rationale to his work - im just not seeing it for its commercial and popular value)

HISTORY

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.

From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.

At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.

The aim of this website is:
- to help those who have seen this man in their dreams and to foster communication among them;
- to understand who this man is and why he appears in an apparently pattern-less array of situations in the dreams of such diverse human subjects.

Funny thing happened... Feb 9, 11, 8:31 p.m.

I started writing/designing a brand book for my agency - an educational book about what branding is, is not, and everything in between. To start this out, I started by doing some open-thought writing... Thoughts on what branding means for the small company to the multiple-national corporation... 20 minutes into this "process" I wrote the phrase 'I'd rather be working with my hands to help people, build their homes, solve big issues, discover my true life's purpose than write, analytically, about the value of branding'... And after writing this I've lost all desire to do what itis I considered myself best at...

Has anyone else had an "ah-ha" moment like this? Is this just a sign of too much introspective thought? I'm truly lost on this one. Your thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated...

laid-off Feb 4, 10, 5:56 p.m.

yep. Last one in - First to leave... Makes sense in those terms, but still a kick in the pants.

Leaving on good terms and all - recommendation included - but completely panicking about getting another job!!!

I'm in Chicago, so I'm looking there first - but if you guys know of anything and help would be appreciated!

oh... I tried finding the "job-board" thread, but couldn't remember the name of it! Sorry Mods.

get a free electric car Dec 17, 09, 7:31 a.m.

Costs $6500 so you'll have to put that up to begin with, but if you order one before the end of the year, the Obama Administration will give you a tax credit for the entire purchase of the car...

(sorry americans only)

It's not in a "web-format" and there is a small PDF to download for it - but I was really curious as to what you guys thought? I already got a great critique from SKT (and currently working on some of the things he had to say) but I wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks guys!

Favorite News Source Feb 21, 13, 5:02 p.m.

Related to my last post on here - what are you guys favorite places, online, to learn about the news (world, country-specific, tech, etc.).

Doing some research at the moment and a large swath of sites, both in name and industry, would be great to see.

emblem name??? Sep 23, 09, 7:12 a.m.

looking for the name of this type of emblem?

Ive seen variations on quite a few futbol firms in the UK - and I THINK it's originally a roman invention, but I'm not sure. I'm looking for the name of the symbol (as in it's not a shield, a crest, etc...)

thanks guys

Learning to code May 6, 13, 8:16 p.m.

I have a good understanding of CSS and HTML (I know, big deal) but lets say that I'm interested in learning one of the C language or objective-c - is there a lighter language I should learn first to prepare me?

Clueless about this - so any advice would be helpful.
