SuperMegaBlog

SuperMegaThings is up.
Live from my beautiful Bed-Stuy apartment we are up and running.
More content soon to follow.

thomvenier.com will be merging with supermegathings.com in the future to encompass my overall design and art philosophy rather than keeping them separate entities, as originally conceived. The two are really one in the same…so lets see what happens. A storms’a brewin’.

Uploaded a few images of an ongoing project.
A sketchbook with emphasis on page interaction.

This project is basically if Swamp Thing was skate boarding doing all sorts of fancy maneuvers and then his shoe fell off and got stuck in the swamp.. and that radioactive stuff spilled on it.

I made it for a gallery show that had 1 rule, find a shoe and do whatever you want to it.

I’m going to build a simple site to post artwork as well as start putting it up on flickr.

Maybe that’s what I’ll use http://www.supermegathings.com for.

Stay tuned.

I’ve been super busy documenting and working on various projects..
Hope to update the blog soon.

I recently finished re-documenting and designing my portfolio.

It is an accordion style binding formed by connected sheets of A3 paper. The paper has been slightly cut-down to allow full bleeds on an ink-jet. In retrospect this process is kind of wasteful and a pain in the ass but I wanted to have the largest possible images allowing text to be legible and to give a proper sense of scale.

The process of creating the outer and inner covers were inspired by early Christian binding practices with a modern aesthetic. Pyramids are used as ornamentation and to protect the leather from wear. Recycled silk screens are used to decorate the inner cover and protect protect the text block.
If you like it please comment! ….and images for more sizes.

New portfolio books just about ready to be bound.

Interesting video about creativity
