Last year, I did my best to help send David Bracetty to FOWA. This year, I’ve been contacted again, and I’d like to spread the word to anyone who might be willing to help. A couple of our collegues in Tel Aviv, Israel are stating their case, and asking for help to get to this years FOWA (Future of Web Apps) event in Miami, FL. There are ways to help, even if you can’t donate, like spreading the word if you have a blog, for example. Anyway, I’ll be sponsoring these two guys, because I took one look at their website, and their work, and FOWA is where these 2 belong. Good Luck Guys! :)
Neil Duerden, one of my favorite Illustrator/Designers gave me the heads up this afternoon about an update to his portfolio. Among the updates are over 50 new pieces to enjoy. If you’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying Neil’s work, you’ve got quite a bit to look at over at his site, NeilDuerden.co.uk. The newer stuff is in the 2009 folder, enjoy!
I’d like to show you a very quick time-saving search tip that I use to find freeware on the Apple site. We all love freeware, so let get our grubby hands on it even quicker, shall we? Have a watch.

Ahhh, a new year… full of new possibilities and wonderment, successes and failures, not to mention a new set of free textures! Today I’m sharing some handmade paint splatter textures with you guys (which I thoroughly enjoyed making). I thought we should start 2009 off in a good way. So download away and stop back by next week for another filling of free textures.

We all need a little inpiration every once in a while, and as we all know, typography is a huge part of design. Designers have been forever experimenting with type, and what a better way to share than good ‘ol Flickr. I’ve made a list of some of the best Typography Flickr groups to feed your creative appetite. Click each Imge to visit the groups. (The groups are in no particular order)

Time for a little workspace invasion! I don’t know about you, but I love looking at other people’s workspaces. It just reinforces the fact that we are all so different, not only in our artistic styles, but in the inanimate objects we surround ourselves with. If you’d like to share your workspace with us you can add it to the BittBox User Workspaces Group on Flickr.
