So back in august I did a small freelance design job for a company called Everlane.  They do direct internet high-end fashion clothing and accessories.  They wanted a sort of classic anchor shaped pendant and I gave them a few quick 3D renderings.  We refined the shape and size and settled on a prototype that they would have 3D printed.  I never heard much from them as to whether or not they would go into full production with the pendant and sort of lost track of the project.  Here are some of the renderings:

Then today I was checking out Everlane's blog and stumbled across these photos of the anchor pendant.  Pretty gratifying to see the actual product.  Really like how it fits in with the rest of there mens accessories.

BLOG!

Howdy, so Ive started this blog as an outlet to showcase some of my little art/design/life projects and musings in an informal setting. If you want to see my formal design portfolio check out artviger.com. Id like to start out with a little post I swiped from Dane Reynolds marine layer blog. Its in regards to him leaving the pro surfing tour in pursuit of his own path. I found it inspiring:

one thing to remember is that i have a heart and i have bones and muscle and skin and eyes and teeth. i have emotions. sometimes i act according to emotions. sometimes i think and make a conscious decision. i usually do that. in fact i usually think too much. sorta neurotic. i make mistakes, and i deal with them. i have fears and i have anxiety and i have insecurities and i have vices which i often give in to. social situations enhance all of these qualities. i could probably use some discipline, and lots of things bum me out, but generally i'm happy, and i enjoy making other people happy. sometimes all it takes is a smile. sometimes it takes a lot more than that. i try to be honest. especially with myself. i know that i'm fortunate. i'm sitting here and i have a pulse and i can breath and i hear birds outside and the buzz of the freeway and the suns about to set and it's a friday. that's fortune. i also know that i'm fortunate in many other ways. three brands support me and enable me to surf every day and travel and eat and have a house to live in. in return i represent their company in a positive way. i feel like i do a decent job. but that's obviously up for debate. surfing is my passion in life. i always think about how lucky we are that there's even an ocean, and its not too hot or too turbulent and it's not made of acid that burns our skin off. and how lucky is it that the land tapers into the ocean in just the right way so that when lumps of energy approach from a thousand miles away they gently rise up and crash at just the perfect speed so that we can wave our little arms and match their speed and hang at the crest weightless for just a second before sliding down the face. free to ride it in any way you please. and there's not just one of them. there's tons of them. they keep coming. all different sizes shapes and speeds. everyday they're different. endless joy.
