ok, so i think that grotesk is a great designer, i really do. But i just read this article on the brilliance.. http://www.thebrilliance.com/theā¦
and yeah, i got lots of filler work (but whatever it's not flash) but there are so many other designers out there that are on the same level. i'm not understanding something.but still i have tons of respect for grotesk.

His points are valid. maybe his wording makes him sound a bit cocky, but that is sound advice.

no, that's fine that he's hating on people with shitty portfolios/websites, but i mean there are a million other terrific designers not on everywebsite today. you know what i mean? grotesk is there, on nt, on a bunch of other sites. idk. i'm going to be shunned from the design community for this one.
much respect to grotesk, he is good!

I was going to say overhyped but I looked at his graphics work again and thought this sh*tz pretty tight. Wasn't so big on the clothing though. I like the decks a lot.

yeah i have the religious themed deck hanging on my wall, so i don't hate. but

hahaha. i do this same shit but it makes me laugh anyways.
ya know, the whole 'what the fuck?! what a fuckin' asshole....but i really like his work. much respect!'the design community is sometimes like high school. but with a much better sense of humor.

i do kinda feel like it's a popularity contest, like who knows who, who is who, etc...
yeah my portfolio sucks and it's ghetto, but i don't give a fuck. i do it for me.

kimou is first and foremost one of my best friends. he is a great father, a great friend, and extremely genuine. what i like about kimou is that his personality and his honesty show in his work. he is by far one of the most talented people i know - but also one of the most humble and honest and selfless. hes always looking out for friends. shit i have my job in no small part due to him.
its a matter of taste as well. maybe some people like it, some don't, etc... i can't say anything to that. he is where is because he has been working his ass off for over ten years - and he got all this attention after just putting his site up after all that time. not bad if you ask me.
sometimes its refreshing to see someone innovative and honest doing good work that shines on its own without being "hip" "cool" or "flashy" design. just well executed solutions to problems and an attention to craft. he gets my vote.

Wow that was very eleqant Justin! * wipes tears!
I agree that his work stands out without any additional bling. That is the true mark of a great designer/artist.

my "so cute" comment was meant for another thread. The one about cats.

Dude, you're reading a website (The Brillance) written by imensely over-hyped designers. Even if there was a really good designer on there, it wouln't mean anything.
