No doubt, that Lee is one of my favorite people on Twitter to follow. Since it's still in a relatively new stage for a major website, people are still trying to figure out interesting and inventive ways to attract an audience on Twitter. But this guy has been doing it since the beginning. He took the 140-character opportunity that Twitter presented and instead of succumbing to the "What are you doing now?" boxed answer, Lee stepped outside and showed his followers what he thought was interesting. He was answering, "What's fascinating you right now?" or "What's inspiring you right now?"
His real-life job is as a graphic and visual designer. He oversees photo shoots, branding plans, video shoots, and a whole host of other design projects. His company Penguin Creative specializes in editorial design and brand development. You can check out his work using that link ^.
While this may sound like such an odd thing to be inspired by, I find those little tweets that Lee sends out inspiring time and time again. He's inspired by anything and everything having to do with the visual arts and he finds interesting exhibitions or showcases to share with everyone that indicate just what creative forces are at work in the industry. From the latest Leibowitz shoot in Vanity Fair, to new graphics that will be used in the 2012 Olympics, to fascinating architecture being planned in Asia, he covers the whole field.
In order to get the best understanding of the impact that he has, you'll have to follow him for yourself (if you're into Twitter). But here are some of my favorite tweets from the past semester:
