1. Pixar Logo Animations This was fun to watch, seeing how far one the greatest (next to Disney of course) animation studio ever, Pixar, has come over the decades. Found via Brand New. 2. Lesley Barnes I was really drawn to the illustration work of Lesley Barnes. Each piece made me smile, from the characters to the saturated colors. Found via Design Work Life. 3. Mohawk Paper Another Design Work Life find, shows such an inspiring video to get to work, with your hands, making high quality crafts. See more from Mohawk Paper. What will you make today? 4. Biz Ladies Profile: Dana Tanamachi Yet another week where I have to mention Dana Tanamachi, but this girl is just all over the place. And she is such an inspiration. In response to a question regarding starting your own business, she said: Know your strengths. If you’re good at something, you’ll usually be passionate about it.

1. Texas Monthly, Jon Contino I love when the different sections in life spill over into one another, in particular when the husband's BBQ world collides with my design world. So when I saw this post by the wonderful letterer and design, Jon Contino, for Texas Monthly I just knew I had to share it with you all. From the saucy titles on the cover to the handdrawn map of southern BBQ—there's truly some amazing work to see plus a video on the "painting with BBQ sauce" process. Check out more photos from the magazine on Jon's site. 2. Starbucks Coffee Perfection Can you even fathom the man hours to create such a promotion? Cutting all the smallest of pieces of paper, manipulating the characters on the screen in between each take, but the joy and gratification of seeing the final product must totally outweigh all of that! What a beautiful work of art! Here is the finished commercial, be sure to check out the behind the scenes work from Rogier Wieland on Design Work Life.
