..:: DIG'N THIS ::..

To say I am a fan of this man is a huge understatement. I would say he is a master.

I first heard of Aaron Draplin when he did a Layer Tennis match awhile ago, and have been checking in with him and his work ever since.

His work is super clean and totally original. His daily blog, is one I check pretty much everyday, first thing.

Go check his work out, and check his blog, the man gets it done!

I found this while surfing around the other day. And maybe I am behind in telling people about this. But, whatever. Its genius.

Layer Tennis

Its explained on the website like this:

We’re hosting a series of live design events called Layer Tennis. The season wouldn’t have happened without the support of Adobe® Creative Suite® 4, the weapon of choice for Layer Tennis players and creative professionals everywhere.

We'll be playing matches using video, animation, sound, photos, type and lots more, but the basic idea is the same no matter what tools are in use. Two competitors will swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley” and then we post it to the site live. A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action, as it happens. A match lasts for ten volleys and when it's complete, Season Ticket Holders tell us what they think and we'll declare a winner

Go check it out.
