It’s time to come clean. I have an addiction to iPhone cases (and apps). Having recently stumbled upon a case manufacturer called Uncommon it only seemed fitting to feed that addiction. Now, purchasing a case is easy enough to justify for me, but when you add the technology that Uncommon is using to print one-off cases, along with your own custom artwork, it’s a no-brainer. After finishing up my latest illustration titled “Snake Oil” I really wanted to see it on a case. So I got busy. The process was incredibly simple. Upload an image that is no smaller than 2000x2000 pixels and no larger than 4000x4000 pixels. Easy enough. Once uploaded you get to see it all mocked up to look exactly as it will look when printed. It’s time to scale and rotate away. Once you’re done you punch the “Save Design” button and it’s saved to a handy gallery containing your designs that you can go back to later at any time. From there it’s an very simple purchase process. But we all know once we’ve placed an order online you’re dying to get what you just paid for. Uncommon definitely delivers on this point as well. A few days later I received the case in some great packaging. Overall it’s been a great experience and I was excited to see it printed on a product. I’ll certainly be buying another. 5 stars!

It’s my wife’s birthday today. Only seemed right to create a special birthday card for her. Nothing like antlers, bouquet of flowers and fire. An effective combo.
Finished up the Josh Cole Photography and Illustration store thanks to the store solution the folks at Big Cartel have developed.

I love photography and image making. But I also love sketching, drawing, conceptualizing and don’t spend near enough time doing it. So this last week I decided to start a sketch a day. I’m on day 4. As I do the sketches I’m uploading them to my flickr account which is where all my experimental and miscellaneous work goes. Hopefully this will keep me somewhat accountable. This sketch here is from day 2. More here.
How about you? Doing any sort of sketch or photograph a day? Would love to hear about it and what you’re doing to stay committed to it.
