On the website, you’ll find topics ranging from  Ghillie Suits to  Hydro-Manhattan and Planet Hardrive as well as a stockpile of incredible interviews.

Artist/Designer Damien Correll has recently been commissioned to add his signature touch to De’Longhi’s Artista series of high-end espresso machines. High-five to us for beating Kanye’s blog to the punch on this one.

Damien also collaborates with Vancouver, BC based RadioZero designing accompanying pieces for their internationally renowned podcast series (think disco, synth-pop & balearic beats a la Beats in Space or D*I*R*T*Y Podcast). His work has also graced the pages of XLR8R, New York Magazine, and Juxtapoz among other publications. Make sure you cruise over to Damien’s website to scope out the rest of his collage/cut-n-paste inspired designs.

Some of Damien’s other work:

Given enough time, everyone can achieve some level of greatness. But what if the clock is running and you’re neck-and-neck with a pack of hungry designers like yourself?

There’s only one way to find out. Cut&Paste has launched its call for competitors, inviting you to participate in what promises to be a fantastic time. If you’re not familiar with Cut&Paste, it’s a live design tournament in 16 cities around the world, culminating in a Global Championship bout in NYC. It’s a blast to watch, but it’s even more fun to participate as a contestant.

This year, Cut&Paste is adding 3D and Motion Design to their existing 2D tournament. I helped create the specs for the Motion Design tournament, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. Whether you’re a contestant or a spectator, I’ll see you at the NYC events.
