A reservoir for my first love, visual effects. I also intend to add here content of design, graphic design and typographical nature.

Perhaps the most curious thing at the villa is the amazing Waterfalls Restaurant, where lunch is served against an impressive backdrop of thundering clear spring water. Grass fringed buffet stations and bamboo dining tables stand steadily in just inches of flowing river water from the sparkling falls, as it washes around the feet of diners enjoying delicious local dishes.</p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/16481970909http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/16481970909Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:47:44 +0000<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly2hjtkVsk1qzxe5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I made this image today and shared it on various places on the interwebs. Basically it asks the question “If you take the money icelandic musicians make off the books (don’t pay any taxes of their income) and deduct the “loss” of income due to copyright infringement. What would the net outcome be? Would they come out ahead or at a loss?”</p> <p>What is interesting is that many “Liked” it or shared it. I got private feedback about the question in email and phone call form but not one musician has commented on it in any fashion. </p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/16135845165http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/16135845165Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:38:17 +0000<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxxngkn00x1qzxe5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Pen Porn - Amazing Mont Blanc pens</strong></p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15999968541http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15999968541Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:57:56 +0000<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwv7mvL48E1qzra63o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The grid behind a Penguin book cover</strong> (via. <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nowinpocketsize.tumblr.com/post/15257947237/the-grid-behind-a-penguin-book-cover">nowinpocketsize</a>)</p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15265221637http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15265221637Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:09:51 +0000griddesigngraphic design<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx7wwfIv4q1qzxe5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h3>Song Map - Cool Poster</h3></p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15236058229http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15236058229Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:24:13 +0000musicgraphic design<a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2011/exclusive-fincher-explains-reasons-why-he-made-each-of-his-films/">David Fincher Explains Reasons Why He Made Each of His Films</a>: <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://log.ericalba.org/post/15183181031/david-fincher-explains-reasons-why-he-made-each-of-his">ericalba</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Good but short read.</p> <p>#film #screenwriting</p> </blockquote>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15189001919http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/15189001919Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:30:25 +0000filmscreenwritingDavid Fincher<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loxu62UBoX1qzxe5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Alphabet carved into pencils</strong></p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/8082357747http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/8082357747Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:20:26 +0100alphabettypography<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lno07puQvP1qz4xv3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://log.ericalba.org/post/7128565457">ericalba</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://livinginthestills.tumblr.com/cheatsheet">Manual #Photography Cheat Sheet</a> nice #design by @yatcher</p> </blockquote>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/7188169818http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/7188169818Sun, 03 Jul 2011 11:52:12 +0100PhotographyCheat Sheat<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm8jrzT7fL1qzxe5ao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Weapons of mass creation</strong></p>http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/6154847039http://stuff.ashdigital.com/post/6154847039Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:28:48 +0100designcreativity“Verdana is the child actor of typefaces.
