me studio

despite these strong and poetically simple posters they had hanging around town all week, i still managed to miss the ‘rietveld academy’ final show this week, shame because it’s always worth a visit… the work can, however, also be seen online

some nice illustrations and hand-drawn type from canada based illustrator ben weeks

great little film about new york based street photographer bruce gilden with some very funny soundbites and fabulous images… thanks to my mate ‘lukas göbel’ for the tip

here are two nice little typo-based films i came across this weekend, a ‘thom yorke’ video made using the OSX keyboard viewer and a series showing ‘karel teige’s’ famous ‘abeceda’ images, not sure what the point is of putting it up as a slide show on you tube, but still worth seeing…

my friend ‘miho’ tipped me about this interesting little story

If, over the past several years, you have had the privilege of joining the 3.3 million people that pass through Tokyo?s Shinjuku station each day, you may have observed the work of Mr. Sato. A construction worker by trade, Sato uses strips of adhesive tape to create elaborate makeshift signs that help people navigate the temporary chaos of ongoing renovation work at Shinjuku station.
