Seaside Car Show - V8 power!

On Saturday we visited family in Seaside and found it to be the annual car show weekend, the main drag was littered with classic cars and admirers. I'm not one to care much about classic cars, but I had a lot of fun documenting Ford's use and variations of the V8 symbol! What fabulous typography and integration!

Also, I really loved the hood ornaments, especially those that look like they could fly!And, here's a few of my favorite logos.Finally, here are some of the best cars. Love the leather detailing and suicide doors.

the new audi r8

Now, if you're in the market for a super car, allow me to direct you to the upcoming release of the convertible Audi r8! I know what I'll be doing with my thousands of dollars (that I don't have!).

inglourious basterds

Sunday night we saw Inglourious Basterds. It was awesome. The typography for the opening and closing credits, as well as throughout the movie was really great, authentic and thoughtful. Oh, and you can never go wrong with Mr.Pitt on the screen...

I wasn't aware really that it was a Quentin Tarantino until we sat down, needless to say I spent about 20% of the movie starring at the ground with my ears plugged waiting for Mike or Annie to tell me I could look up again! Still, it was an amazing movie!

excited for fall!

I'm so excited for fall, I know a lot of you out there are mourning the end of summer, but I think fall is the best season to be a Portlander! The crispy sunny afternoons and colors, love it! I'm also pretty excited to buy a copy of Martha's October isssue of Living this year and be inspired by her fabulous Halloween and fall decorating ideas.

I'm not much for actual follow through on decorating for Halloween and fall, but I think there's something really fabulous about celebrating the seasons and making time passing more important.

So, do you plan on decking the halls this fall? Or are you holding out in flip flops and tanks as long as possible?

Or perhaps a few calling cards are more your speed? fabulous.

This looks like a really fun and simple do it yourself project! Of course, by "do it yourself" I mean, "convince your husband to do it while you art direct"...
