Aaron Draplin…


America Is F*cked…….(Graphically at least) from Jess Gibson on Vimeo.

wants to tell you a thing or two about the state of design in America today. He’ll do so with more than a few cuss words, so be forewarned.

Aaron Draplin is my new hero.

I did let her go to school like this, right down to the Leprechaun socks!

and “don’t panic”…

I’m usually not much of a poster person (except for that one Dirk Fowler/Old 97’s one that got away… damn!) but I’m loving this “Think for yourself” poster by Linda Zacks.

all of a sudden, I love an “other”…

Ok, I think I *must* get one of these Get It To Go shirts for my middle child because she has this strange fascination with those little buttons on the top of fast food drinks. And, you gotta admit, that’s one awesome Rat Fink-esque “other.”

Come, sweet slumber…

“Come, sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak.” I’ve had that stuck in my head the past few days and could NOT remember where I knew it from. I knew it was an 80s thing, so I did some sleuthing and, lo and behold, it was Max Headroom. Which was a little frightening on a couple of levels. One, I had just been thinking of Max Headroom last week (mostly thinking what kind of balls one would need to actually pitch that, and did said person get to keep their job in the end?) and two, WTF do I still have this kind of inane crap stuck in my head?!

Died Young, Stayed Pretty

 

I can NOT express how much I want to Died Young, Stayed Pretty, the new movie about indie rock poster designers. Weird? Maybe. But it looks to be spectacularly fascinating.    

(and, yes, Jen, your hero Art is in it!)

drawing circles around me…

This video of Bob Staake illustrating (in Photoshop 3.0!) completely amazes me. You will never again look at the oval marquee in the same way…
