Back in May I received an email from the LCAD Alumni mailing list about an open casting call for designers. It sounded pretty interesting so I went to check it out on my lunch break. The project was for LG; they were looking for a group of four designers to be a part of Heidi Klum's Style Team and design a backplate for the phone. The whole inspiration and design process would be filmed, resulting in INTERNET FAME.

I was one of the four designers, but in the end Heidi didn't quite "get" Rudyland. All of the designs were pretty cool, though, so I know it must have been a difficult choice.

Here's my profile on the LG website, now with more sneer.

I'm eclectic and I like "random things." Who knew?

Here are all the designs. The second from the left won. Guess which one is mine!

Last week local shaper Dano celebrated 20 years of making surfboards. That's pretty awesome.

Dano is a man of many talents.
