Sharon Spencer (from Fred and Sharon) is now giving advise to celebrities and MTV picked them up. Great move for them, now they can appeal to the masses. They did a movie for our Absent Grotesque font too.
Behance just published a new working tool that helps manage your projects both online, mobile and off. It is based on their books with the same name… the Action Method. A great tool for those who have to keep a lot of tasks organized.
Hard to believe the world is in global economic turmoil when you have people like Merijin Hos aka Bfree around. All kinds of lovely work over at his website such as drawings, installations, childrens books and even a video spot for YO GABBA GABBA. Dreamy!
Noticed some updates from those smoke-in-the-forest people, HELMO. Love the Jazzdor stuff.
Lettercutting — a grand job, the grandest in the world. What could be better? If you’ve never cut letters in a good piece of stone, with hammer and chisel, you can’t know.
MyFonts interviews Eric Gill for April installment of Creative Characters feature. How lucky are we in this era of typographic design to have so much technology available to us. It’s always good to be reminded what we take for granted and to consider how that technology manifests itself in our designs. Link
Wonderful conversation with Adrian Shaughnessy & Michael C. Place available for download & view that tells a bit of the story behind Build and tDR among other things such as process and the hustle involved. Via the Build blog of course :-)
The Narrows is a contemporary art space hosting local, national and international artists located in Melbourne. They have a poster available on their site for download for every exhibition. Some lovely work you should go and check out.
Fairly simple video, but oh so much behind this new record by the Horrors. You may recall the Chris Cunningham video from their previous release.
Just got back from the Andrew Holder show at Subtext. Amazing show, something different in Andrew’s work than your average 60’s folk art revivalist, something happy and wonderful. If you live in the San Diego/Los Angeles area you definitely need to come out and see for yourself. I just wish I was rich so I could have bought everything at the show. Definitely a new favorite of mine.
Matt Desmond’s new font, Bandoleer, got us into a little bit of organizing before the weekend so we added a Stencil category under Fonts.
