Design: Dowling Duncan

This past week in San Francisco has been so fogged in that I swear it's the middle of July and not December. I know that sounds backwards but we all know SF is famous for it's foggy summers (among other seasons). The local design firm Dowling Duncan was asked by AIGA to create designs that they felt best represented San Francisco and the result were these amazing cards, entitled Summer in San Francisco, that you can find for sale in designer stores and museums around the City.

Design: San Francisco Drawings

I thought I'd start the new "inspiration" blog by showcasing some of my favorite digital drawings of the city that inspires me on a daily basis, San Francisco. One of my favorite things about the foggy city by the bay is it's unique and characteristically San Franciscan architecture. I pass the morning and evening commute from Lower Pacific Heights to Pier 33 by gazing from the bus windows as I pass block upon block of century old apartments admiring the linear silhouettes, ornate moldings, sunny bay windows made of poured glass, and the pastel palate that composes my urban backdrop.
