Updates, news, and daily inspiration from the people at Thebackwall.
theBackmix lives here.
A few epic illustrations/diagrams to check out if you’re looking to do some cut-away shots of a large space. I’m currently in the process of creating something similar for a project and thought these were pretty amazing in how detailed they are. I especially like the last one, which really gives you a feel of the enormity of the space and the intricacy of the systems operating within.
Just something a bit different to check out.
Kahn’s Exeter Short Film from Alex Roman on Vimeo.
Check out this CG shortfilm by Alex Roman depicting Louis Kahn’s Phillips Exeter Academy Library. It’s one in a series of videos he’s put together and they are all absolutely fantastic. Seriously epic. Be sure to browse the “making of” video as well for a sneak peak behind the scenes.

Tracklist:
I apologize for the lack of posts over the past month — portfolio work has taken much longer than originally anticipated. Fortunately, I now have several how-to posts about portfolios, binding, etc. lined up, so look out for the start of those in the next few days.
Until then, check out the many winning submissions from this year’s Krob Illustration Competition (select images above). Congratulations to all of the winners!
Just a few interesting images I’ve accrued on my desktop over the last couple of months. While I’d love to give credit where credit is deserved for these, I unfortunately tend to drag cool images from the net without even thinking about writing down where they’re from. Actually, I do know that the first one was an image submitted with one of the proposals for the National Museum of Oslo (more info on the other finalists here). If anyone can place the other images, let me know in the comments.
theBackmix, Edition 6: October music. Enjoy!
