June's installment of the always inspirational Creative Mornings, Portland will feature Camas Davis of the Portland Meat Collective, a one-of-a-kind meat school and culinary resource that changed the way citizens of Portland, Oregon think about the meat they eat..

In 2009, Camas Davis, a magazine editor and food writer, lost her job and ran away to Southwest France to study butchery. She had no idea where it would lead her. Upon her return, she founded the Portland Meat Collective. But what began as a personal exploration of “food transparency,” quickly became something much larger and more controversial than Davis could have imagined. During this talk, Davis draws on her personal and professional experiences in the worlds of food, media, and meat, to explore the true meaning (and unexpected consequences) of transparency.

The theme of the month is food, and this fits squarely within those constraints. Get ready to register for the event as they always fill up fast.

We love, love, love this commercial. It's retrospectastic. Viva la hypermedia!

Here's some nice work from Rosaleen Gallagher and Wicked Quick. This collection of clothing (by Wicked Quick) was created with race car driver, Carroll Shelby, as inspiration.

The clothing and design work on the project was extensive and laborious. The clothing was designed to look as if it had come right out of Shelby's garage, which meant fantastic retro graphics and hand-dying, dating the clothing to give it an authentic look. The surrounding design work was then given a similar treatment to further convey the "out of the garage" feel.
