stone door knocker

Not much to say here, just a cool stone door knocker that exemplifies modern design. It's a little annoying, though, that anything tagged "modern" automatically receives about a 9000% increase in value. This thing costs $98 and I'm almost (absolutely) positive I could make one myself with materials amounting to less than five bucks. That's probably a little unfair though--I do live next to a creek with plenty of exotic rocks.

dan mumford's illustrations

I've been posting a lot of design work, and sometimes I feel like I'm just showing the same thing over and over. But, I'm not. It's just a testament to the extraordinary talent right now in the design scene. So, per usual, here's some more work from a designer by the name of Dan Mumford.

Mumford's illustrations have a cool, controlled chaos effect; something I've been really into as of late. The piece pictured above, titled "Francesca", is both crazy and simple. The use of color is awesome, too.
