Eeek! A second test run of Storybirds arrived at Adam’s this morning. Unboxing shots after the jump. Hover on images for captions.
Storybird is adding a Python developer to the team.

For the position:
-entrepreneurial mindset (we’re a startup)
-easy-going personality (team fit is crucial)
-comfortable working remotely (but within North American timezones)
-roughly 15 hrs a week (for now)
-loves nifty things (cause Storybird is nifty)
We offer:
-great product (the world’s fastest growing narrative entertainment platform)

-chance to flex (we’re focused, but build on everyone’s strengths)

We’re an early stage, purposefully bootstrapped company. We’re open to discussions on compensation, but we’ll have to be creative (ie. we hope you like chocolate). This position is ideal for someone who has a job with spare time or freelancers who can squeeze other projects into their schedule.
Resume, code samples, and a few words about you to: jobs [at] storybird [dot] com
No recruiters please (we have only so much chocolate to go around).
We’re groovin’ on Max Dalton’s Sunday Barbecue Cut Out Set. (Click through for a larger image.) He’s also got a snazzy cocktail party ready for snipping, too. We just need Don and Betty Draper and we’re set.
Pegged as a tribute to the film Where the Wild Things Are, this ultra-short film has the same dewy storytelling and handmade aesthetics that you’d expect from fans of Spike Jonze. Regardless of intentions, it’s a demi-tasse of wonder.
We just wrapped the 3-month process of upgrading the initial low-resolution test art to hi-resolution files in anticipation of printing in September. How did our busy artists remind themselves to finish their upgrades? Sam Wedelich created this fancy wrist-watch that cuckoo’d until the deed was done. We’re grateful. Without Sam’s inspired work, we’d never have a Halloween Hyperbole.
We were stopped in our tracks by these…what?…stories? Photos? Click to enlarge the image and read some. Just beautiful. From ¡prendan la radio! via Charlie Bowater.
Tom Gauld is so adorable we could eat him. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to continue his comics. And we’d be arrested for cannibalism. But such is life.
Illustrator Olly Moss for the Levis Rolling Roadshow film retrospective. If you like these orange-flavored bits, be sure to see his personal work Films in Black and Red.
We snatched this awesome map from smarty pants researcher Sara Grimes (who apparently snatched it from British illustrator Joe Beale). Just love it. “Childhood map” charts the unknowns, exaggerations, and fears we had (and sometimes still have) rumbling about in our heads—etched in ink, as faded and imprecise as our memories.
