Booooooom! fails to disappoint when it comes to providing daily doses of inspiring artworks. And every once in a while, the blog launches awesome projects that generate all sorts of submissions. From postcard designs to the Wild Things’ Forts contest, the projects and their results are always fun to follow.
This time Booooooom and Converse are presenting the ‘Hack Job‘ skateboard project. Open to anyone anywhere, all you have to do is build a skateboard out of any random materials and send in your photo or video. The deadline is September 10, 2010, and 5 pairs of shoes will be given to the top 5 creative submissions.

Click here to read more from what Frank Chimero had to say in response to the question: What advice would you give to a graphic design student?
“Take things away until you cry. Accept most things, and reject most of your initial ideas. Print it out, chop it up, put it back together. When you’re aimlessly pushing things around on a computer screen, print it out and push it around in real space. Change contexts when you’re stuck. Draw wrong-handed and upside down and backwards. Find a good seat outside.”
Make sure you take wander around his site and read more from his blog, lots of Q&A’s and great tidbits (and I mean tidbits in the most respectful way).

Congrats guys!
Out in the open air, rain or shine, the film must show when the sun goes down. Last night was my second night at the Pluk de Nacht (‘Seize the Night’) film festival, and it won’t be my last. The open space was jam packed with people in lawn chairs, benches, make shift seating and a fleet of late comers were standing all around, all there for the screening of This American Life TV stories.
Another must see film I caught at the festival is the clay-mated feature Mary and Max. A tale about an unlikely pen-friendship between two different people, based on a true story.
Along side the big screen, the festival site has been hosting Artist in Focus, installations, workshops and more, for the full list click here.
