A super-secret bonus post for those still visiting Somethink Fun.

Au Revoir!

Well folks, this is finally it: The end. One year is finally over. At the 239th post, with over 29,000 visits (and over 20,000 unique visitors) from over 129 countries, the Somethink Fun experiment has been a surprisingly great success (in my eyes, at least). I wanted to thank all of you who visited (even just once) - that means so much to me.

Creating something (almost) everyday was pretty difficult at times, and there are many horrific posts peppered about. But I'm not embarrassed - this site was a digital sketchpad to simply capture ideas. Since there was barely any time, these ideas were not well thought-out or developed into anything final. They were what they were: fun ideas.

I'll obviously be taking a break and traveling, but I hope to keep Somethink Fun as a creative blog in some fashion when I'm back in NYC. Any thoughts, opinions, or rants you'd like to make, please be my guest. I'd love to hear from you! And finally, I will leave Somethink Fun exactly how it started - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHO!

Ciao,

Mattias

A very early post this morning as we move our things out of the NYC. This image is a sneak peak at what is to come post-trip and post-Somethink Fun. When? Who knows.....

Tree Ring Timeline

The most defining moments in my life, depicted on the most beautiful and natural of timelines.

Asia Trip

I can't believe it, but this Thursday will be the one year anniversary of Somethink Fun! To celebrate, I've included my 5-month trip to Asia, which will occur shortly thereafter. Above is an estimated map of the trip I'll be taking with my buddy Ryan, and potentially where we'll be spending our time. Plans change and we're not tied down to anywhere, so I'm sure the real map will be quite different. Also, I only included the larger city names, but we'll obviously be heading outside of cities as well. Sa-weeet!

Just having fun with an updated look to the Dept. of Homeland Security...

Risk/Reward Mobile

Everything in life (even the bad things) must be done in moderation; you just need to learn to balance it all out. Quitting my job to go travel for 5 months in Asia come April 1st will begin a new balancing act for me, but one that I'd never pass up or regret. I can't wait!

Beauty is in the Mind of the Beholder

Egg Beaters Anonymous

It seems that Egg Beaters has tried to reposition themselves with an edgier look. This will most likely go the way of the Dodo or the Tropicana Orange Juice repackaging fiasco, but kudos for trying!

Inkgredient

This is a logo proposal for my friend's print/apparel shop. The clever name is pretty brilliant - ink being the ingredients for all printers. Being part of the surf and skate culture, he wanted the octopus (another promoter of inks) to somehow be incorporated. So this was my solution, an octopus that loves ink so much, it has CMYK control!
