Pigs Fly
The day you’ve been promised, then promised again, then promised a few more times, has come. The new version of Rob Weychert’s site has gone live. Mere years in the making, countless revisions and scraped comps (some of which were very nice), Rob staggers forth, triumphant. Besides being a good friend, Rob is also the torturous brains behind Virtual Stan. I am very happy his site is back, and look forward to what’s to come. As for the site itself, beautiful blackletter masthead, solid and meticulous layout (one of Rob’s strongest tendencies), great features like a Daily Haiku (incorporating dictionary.com’s word of the day), and an obligatory sock monkey fix with “Ask The Monkey”, make it an instant winner in my book. Congrats Rob.
And here I was, two hours from the email informing him that there was a typo on his site promissing the delivery of a new website today. Really swanky, ROb. This is what I’ll be doing for the rest of the day. Great job!
Personally, I think the monkey does all the work and Rob takes all the credit.
Talented monkey.
I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve ever seen blackletter and stencil typefaces used together like that.
Is “Pre-WWII German Military Crate” the new “Wicked Worn”?
(In any case, nice work Rob!)
Beautiful!
Anything with a monkey is bound to be good!
WOOT! Good stuff.
My friends are all too good. you guys are starting to make me feel bad…really beautiful site Rob!
Man. Every day I look around the web, I realize why I don’t have my own personal site yet - no one would be bothered to see it with all the great sites like Jason and Rob’s around!
I never saw any of the old incarnations of Rob’s site, but at any rate, the current version is indeed very nice.
As fond as I am of intelligent Monkey banter, I am most impressed with the daily haiku. That’s the best use of word-of-the-day ever.
Is “Pre-WWII German Military Crate” the new “Wicked Worn”?
Depends on if the crate is genuine…
Rob, great site. Love Virtual Stan…hilarious!
I really love Rob’s site! The boxed-in Virtual Stan is so amazingly funny. Oh before I forget. Let the monkey run for president!!!
I think the army typeface looks really bad with the script of the other fonts. but otherwise its nice.
