New shirts and Back to School sale!September 1

I am happy to announce that there are now three new designs available in the growing family of Signalnoise t-shirts. Now for purchase in the Signalnoise Store are the Mask of Vulcan, the Signalnoise Chevrons and my black metal mascot shows up again in Lego form on the Metalego shirt. All orders are hand-packed by me on my coffee table, and includes a little swag bag full of Signalnoise buttons and stickers. Great for lockers and binders!

On top of that, I restocked a few of the previously sold out posters.

Back to School sale!

5 Hours of Power: Recorded versionsAugust 26

• I'm pretty sure this is how Nick Campbell's broadcast went down.

Yesterday’s Five Hours of Power live event far surpassed all of my expectations with some great discussions and huge turnouts to see these guys in action. Justin Maller kicked things off at 2pm EST with Transmission II where he offered some great insight into his work, process, and the business side of things. Great broadcast with some great advice.

We then bounced over to Nick Campbell with his GSG Live Cast where he had a focus on design and design-related topics. Nick’s broadcasts are always great, well-spoken guy with very practical knowledge and advice in various fields which surely helps others in the creative community. Unfortunately we don’t have a recorded version of his broadcast, but the above image is a pretty accurate depiction of how Nick’s discussion went down. Helicopters and all. :)

Following Nick, it was my turn to kick off Signal

5 Hours of Power, live broadcasts!August 24

Today will be quite a special day when it comes to live broadcasts. After seeing Nick Campbell deliver his GSG Live Cast last year I thought it was such a wonderful idea for viewers and readers I decided to start my own Signalnoise Broadcast, which is now weekly. The live discussion format offers a wonderful, real connection to those who are interested in art and design and can provide some nice advice for those getting into the industry.

And now for the 5 Hours of Power! Not only are Nick and I going to be holding our own weekly broadcasts, but our good pals Justin Maller, Fabio Sasso and the Design Chat crew will all be broadcasting as well. We managed to combine all of these discussions into a schedule to provide a good 5 hours of industry talk. Here is the schedule:

The Sword: Warp RidersAugust 23

I’ve been a fan of Texan-based metal band The Sword for the better part of 5 years now, and I was surprised recently by the release of their new album, Warp Riders.

I picked up the album yesterday and, not only do the new tracks totally live up to The Sword’s talent but check out the album art and collateral. I really enjoyed the previous logo and artwork the guys put together for previous albums, but I was floored by this old school sci-fi direction.
