Pretty cool deal here. The Lost Type Co-op is based on the “pay what you can” model for some pretty amazing typefaces. All the donations go to the font designer. Check it out & throw the designers a few bucks, making a font isn’t a short or easy task.
This is amazing. I almost wish he showed the end result before showing him draw it because you’d never guess he got there the way he did. He’s drawing with 2 Bic ballpoint pens. Goes to show, it’s not what you’re working with, it’s what’s inside your noggin’.
Again, thanks to Godmachine for the video.
Adobe asked Von Glitschka to create some repeat patterns & we’re (like, everyone) the winners because they’re free! Click up above or here to go to Adobe’s download page for them
to the best holiday of the year. Can’t wait. Before Halloween was a reason to dress slutty, it was amazing. This video is proof.
Thanks to Godmachine for the video.
Sometimes while dreaming, I draw this quickly (and this well), just sometimes though. Really cool time-lapse video with Kevin Tong on his making of the Mogwai poster shown down below (which, of course, is sold out). If was only be as easy as he makes it look….
Thanks OMG Posters for the awesome link!
This one’s for all the photo-nerds in the house. Saw these gems over on Werd. Seeing as how I’ve spent a few months / years paychecks on film & camera gear, I got all nostalgic. Pretty cool USB drives by Photojojo.
Perusing around their store, this keyboard cover is pretty incredible for Photoshop / Final Cut / Pro Tools peoples, too.
Next Friday, May 20th 2011, I’m going to be in an art show / auction benefiting Stoked Mentoring called Stoked Sessions up in Culver City, CA. A whole get-down is planned for opening night; DJs, drinks, who knows…. maybe even dancing. The whole thing benefits Stoked Mentoring & the great programs they have for kids so if you’re a) bored or b) in the Culver City area or c) need a reason to head to LA, stop in & check it out. The Stoked Sessions has an overview of what’s happening on Friday night, including a slideshow of the pieces that will be there. Check after the jump if you’d like to see my contribution.
Pretty rad Vintage Vinyl Flickr set here from Christian Montone. Great collection of 60′s album covers. Check after the jump for more examples from the set.
Now that our cards have been on featured on For Print Only, I figure it’s time to get around to putting them here. A few months back, after realizing I had 14 business cards left with a tradeshow in a couple weeks. I worked with Tim at Quality Letterpress to create some pretty cool cards.
Check after the jump for more photos & a bit of a writeup on the cards
Great live street-art even in Hawai’i a couple months back, covered by HBTV: Pow Wow Hawaii 2011 Part I
Newly featured in our We Recommend section is Helvetica. A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit. Great movie for anyone interested in design and even pop culture. It’s crazy how far the typeface’s grasp is, yet it stays at the forefront of design. Check out our mini-review in our We Recommend section.
Great collection of vintage beer cans. All are amazing, some are also amazingly funny. Up top, who are you going to drink with – The Duke or JR Ewing? Check out JR’s tag line down at the bottom of the can. Follow the jump for 36 more cans & a link to the source with 130 more!
