Who Be He?
They call him Phillip Retuta. He calls himself a visual & interactive designer, motion graphics artist, and illustrator -- an all-around artist. He's 28 years old, from Chicago, living in NYC, and has a lovely husky-lab mix named Nico.

What's All This Then?
Well, it's a fairly random tumblog of current and upcoming art endevours, photographs, comic sketches, creative philosophies, inspirations, and generally incomplete art projects.

So yeah, it's like a sketchbook.

Indie Rawk Valentine’s Day Card Ideas.

So I’ve been making daily Valentine’s Day cards for Jeffro’s Indie Rawk Blog. Here are some ideas:

  • The Smiths: “The Morrisey you, the more I’m Smith-en.”
  • Ted Leo: “Ted Leo + The Pharmacists have the perfect prescription for your broken heart: Me. Let’s shake the sheets.”
  • Joy Division: “There’s no Joy in our Division. Love Won’t Tear Us Apart.”
  • Conor Oberst: “You. Will. You. Will. You. Will. You. Will. You Be My Blue Valentine, Bright Eyes?”
  • Tears For Fears: “My Tears For Fears Will Help Sow Your Seeds Of Love. What can I say, I’m Head Over Heels for you!”
  • The New Pornographers: “Come to my Bleeding Heart Show. I’ll Sing You Spanish Techno.”
  • Velvet Underground/Turntable.fm: “I’m inviting you to my private Turntable.fm room… ‘cuz I want to feel your Velvet Underground.”
  • Stars: “One More Night… I’ll show you the Stars.”

Any more ideas? I’ll give credit where credit is due.
