Kevin Cyr’s paintings of urban vehicles are simply amazing.

These certainly make my photographs of the very same subjects less exciting to look at now. I would love to order a large print of one of these! Thanks CP!

The Container Icon pack

Smashing Magazine periodically posts these large all-encompassing posts around one topic/idea/theme, and one of the most recent posts they made in this category revolved around high-quality icon sets. When I think of graphic design work, I hardly ever think of icon graphics as falling into this category, but Smashing Mag sure blows this misconception out of my mind.

One of the icon sets they linked to was this Container Icon Pack which I thought was particularly appealing to me since 1) I like trucks and heavy machinery (ever since I was a kid); and 2) these container icons are very well-designed. But don’t just look at this set of icons. Check them all out and be inspired by digital artwork on a smaller scale than you might be used to.

This is seriously making me want to actually change my default icons. It’s weird that I’ll customize just about anything on my computer except for my icons, but it looks like that’s about to change.

Two fire trucks collide on the way to an emergency

Not much to say, really, except that this happened in St. Louis.

Oh, and BB linked to the same video with the Benny Hill music track attached. It almost makes this funny.
