Pedal Cars! Oh to Be 5 Again!

Sort of off subject (well, they count as nice industrial design), but I just love these!  Just look at how cool they are!  Makes me wish I was a kid again. No motor, no battery to charge, and built like a brick *#@%house. It’s all up to you–you wanna go faster, you just pedal harder! I had at least two of these growing up–a car and a tractor–and had the time of my life riding around on them. Yeah, they’re not cheap, but so what.  

Check out as well:  they also have planes, and tractors, and wagons, too!  LINK

David Drummond Interviewed by Tobias

One of my most favorite book cover designers–David Drummond–is interviewed by another excellent designer–Christopher Tobias–on Books Covered, Tobias’ personal blog. It’s a wonderful interview, and provides some great insight into the inner mind of yet another wonderfully creative individual. Chris has done some other good interviews as well, but Drummond happens to be a guy whose work I’ve followed for a number of years. Good reading for anyone interested in cover design–and thanks to both Chris and David for taking the time to put it together.
