C’mon now. We need to get back into the swing. The word was SLEEP.

Here’s the husbands’. Somewhat inspired by some nice drawings that Sooz did a few days ago…

Alright, we’ve been busy, slack and not really dedicated to the cause. But tonight we return with late night, bake-off goodness…

Grass was the word and the result for me was the textbook complex route to simplicity. And frustration. Photoshop crashed, my brain melted under the pressure and I went for the cheesy, cliched solution until [...]

So swap the techniques now, I’m going vector, Tim’s the sketchy one. This is based of some practical cut-outs I’m doing with paint swatches.

Smoker eh…it was the gun or the cigarette and we had them both covered, I did sketchy, tim went art deco…nice.

Hard stuff, Tim and I both freaked out at the 20min mark and decided on a 10min extension. A bit like my interpretation of Above.

2nd Bake-Off: Above.

Tim and I completed our first design bake-off! We’ve been inspired by the Cut & Paste guys to have a go at generating some art and design in 20min. It’s surprising how hard it is to free you mind up and just go with it.
Our first Bake-Off word was QUARTERLY.
It’s a seasonal/nature response. A bit [...]
